Incomplete

Last anybody remembers about him is that he was found in the bathroom of a high class hospital. No records were found in the same, or other hospitals. DOnt know how, or by whom, he was christened as johny.

Johny was raised in the nurses hostel inside the compound of the hospital. Not by any one of the nurses. But by all. Just like a cute little puppy is raised in a place like this. At 4, he was washing the dishes in the mess. At 5, he was washing the bathrooms in the hospital, including the one he was found in. And at 6, he was sold to a rich mans driver by the ward boy for one 'khamba' of 'daaru'.

Umesh Aggarwal, was a veteran indian golf player. There is something about golf players. Firstly, they have to be filthy rich in advance to pursue the game. And if they make it decent in the game, they will become filthy rich anyways. There is one more thing about these rich people. They have hobbies. Alot of them. But Umesh had just one. He was a trained classical singer. And he was pretty good at it too. When it comes to giving, god sometimes seems to be unjust.

Johny at 6, used to carry Umesh's golf clubs around. Actually, not just that. He used to do everything for Umesh except cleaning his ass with a tissue paper. But what he used to like doing was, lingering around Umesh every morning during his 'riyaaz'. Umesh's passion for singing had a deep impact on johny. YOu know there are three kind of people- one, who are musically challenged..second, who learn music..but johny comes in the third category. People who have music in their heart,mind, blood, intestines and everywhere.

Over years Johny's interest in music became visible to Umesh. Umesh after years found somebody to discuss his music with. Talking about his past, his singer wife once went to LA for singing in a indian based hollywood flick, slept around for sometime,and then settled down with the director of the movie. That year Umesh played his last official tournament.

Now company is what makes you the way you are. Specially if you are uneducated like Johny. Johny sleeps in the staff quarters with his only friend, baasath. Baasath is the same guy who bought Johny in exchange of a 'khamba'. His name suggests he was born in 62, i guess. Johny learned all the manipulations from Baasath. Like, selling the petrol to somebody, getting fake bills, exchanging valuables with cheaper ones etc. But he had great respect for Umesh and was always there to make his life as comfortable as his own. Not that Johny did any of these. But he had all this in his mind. He loved the way Baasath manipulated normal ordinary things to make them more special. Money was not he was interested in.

At 12, Johny used to jam with Umesh. Both singing classical ragas in the 'riyaaz' session. Umesh was perfect with the rules and norms of the indian classical music. But Johny was different. He never did it the conventional way. He used to mix the ragas. Suddenly jumps to a different one, and with such accuracy that it sounds even more melodic. This was inherent in Johny. There were times in the sessions when Umesh was in one raaga forming the base taal and JOhny leads, improvising on a combination of various raaga. Umesh has never in his life, seen such progressive adaptation of indian classical music. Even Johny knows about his uncanny sense of music.
