Her dad often returns home drunk, singing songs mostly out of tune. Does she like her Mom's songs then? No. Not either. Though her Mom sings quite well. (One may conclude here that she is suffering from a malady called Musicophobia.) Will she be able to break the chain of the suffering? Difficult indeed. Because her parents are not aware of the fact that she is fractionally ailing. But is it incurable? Here comes the answer. Once, while suffering from a fever, her mom takes her to the household where she is a domestic help. She has been kept just outside the closed door of a music room. Suddenly the baby-girl feels an urge of entering the closed room, as a beautiful melody floating out from inside. It's an Alaap (introduction --- the prelude) to the Raga Bhairavi. The baby-girl gently pushes the closed door and finds a young woman practicing with a Tanpura. Slowly and cautiously she enters the room. Coming closer, she plucks a string of the Tanpura. The first plucking fills her soul with joy and peace, unknown to her till then. A fleeting realization grabs her for a moment. Even a very small effort to create music can bring in mind so deep an ecstasy. Is it her first step towards getting cured? ...Towards leading a playful childhood?
