Met my God....Finally :)






As we all know,Sheya is there in an networking site “Twitter”. Some days ago, I read an update from Shreya.She said “Going to Delhi for National Award Ceremony”.I felt very happy after reading the update but I was tensed too,as I knew there was no chance of meeting Shreya as she would be coming here just to collect the award.But still I sent her a tweet.I asked her if she could tell the time when she’ll be going back to Mumbai so that I could meet her at the airport.15 minutes passed,I didn’t get any reply.I was very sad.But I didn’t knew that a “special message” was waiting for me.After 10 mnts,I got an tweet from Shreya saying “I have sent you a direct msg.Check it”.Immediately,I saw my direct messages in twitter and I was completely shocked as I got the private message from the Nightingale herself.She told me the name of the hotel where she was staying and gave me the time of 3pm to meet her.I got this message from her around midnight.I replied to her again asking the details.She told me everything and went offline after a goodnite msg.

It was 12:30am when I was roaming here and there,from one room to another room.Finally,I slept at 3:20 am and woke up at 6:30 am.Went to temple and prayed to God that the plan of meeting Shreya should not get cancelled.I have been waiting for this moment since last 7 years.Somehow the time passed and at 10am,I went to the stationery shop and bought a coloured scrapbook.I wrote a very big article in the scrapbook.I chose 4 articles from my blog and pasted it in the book.One work done.My next step was to buy a beautiful gift for Shreya.I went to Archies and bought a beautiful Lord Shiva Moorti and a bunch of chocolates.After packing them,I wrote my article and prepared my scrapbook.I didn’t get any msg from Shreya today,so I got confused if Shreya was still there at the hotel.

Conversation on fone:

It was Shreya’s mom who picked up the phone.

Me:Good Afternoon Mam,This is Nishant

Shreya’s Mom:Oh Nishant.Just a minute(She transferred the call to Shreya)

Me:Hello mam..Good Afternoon.This is Nishant

Shreya:Haaaaan…..Hi Nishant,You come here by 3 pm na.I’ll be having some other guests too.I’ll meet you there.I’ll be leaving from here by 4 pm.

Me:O God…I cant believe dis..I was dumb !!

Shreya:Please don’t say that.

Me.Thank You so much for trusting me (Conversation stopped).

Shreya gave me the time of 3 pm but sadly,because of the usual traffic of Delhi,I reached there 10 minutes late.I immediately asked the receptionist if Shreya was there.She again connected the phone to Shreya’s room and her mother picked again and said , “Hi Nishant,Shreya is coming downstairs”.

I waited at the lobby for 20 minutes and I was sitting on the sofa.Suddenly,I looked on my left side and found none other than Shreya standing and talking to her mother and other relatives.I went there immediately with the gifts and introduced myself to her in shivering voice.I touched her feet and took her blessings.She said “God Bless U”.She told my father that she has been following my blog and information for so long.She said that everyone says that Nishant is your biggest fan.I ws standing like dumb.I didn’t know what to say.I was very nervous.Her mother was standing next to her.I touched her feet and took her blessings too.She said,”I am so happy that Nishant has come here.We were talking about you in our room just now”.Then I introduced her to my father and sister.She was so humble to take many pics wid me.She herself said to my sister “ ab main Nishant ke saath acche se pic leti hoon”.She kinda hugged me and took the pic.She is so sweet.I have never ever met such a down to earth person in my life.I was not wrong when I used the word “GOD” for her.Its a very unique feeling.I don’t feel like demanding anything from God now.He has given me the best gift.She saw my scrapbook which I prepared for her.I asked her some questions.My mind was completely empty that time.I asked her whatever I got in my mind.

I asked her “How it has been recording for Ilayaraja so far”?

She said “He is the God of Indian Musicians,though he is very strict.Whenever he enters the studio,everyone gets silent.

I asked if she has sung in Balki’s Pa for Ilayaraja?

She said,many songs were recorded and many were deleted again and again from the movie.She may or may not have songs in this movie.

I asked her about future offerings with Ilayaraja.

She didn’t remember much but said she has sung one or two songs in Pazhassi Raja(Hindi Version).

I also asked about Ilayaraja’s sons Yuvan and Karthik

She said Yuvan is more into hip hop but he is very very talented and she also praised Karthik Raja(I’ll upload dis video).

Her mom said,”please come to our home whenever you come to Mumbai.Either call Shreya or her brother whenever you come there.”

Her mom was treating me exactly like her own son.I felt as if I am talking to my own mother.

After that,Shreya hersrlf introduced me to Shankar Mahadevan’s assistant who was so polite.I shook hands with him.She also introduced me to her lovely Aunt and Uncle.I was so shocked that everyone from her Uncle to my mom knew me already.they were treating me like their own son.

Suddenly,I found Shankar Mahadevan at my back and I touched his feet too and he gave me blessings but he was in a hurry,so could not take a pic with him.Anywayz,the 1st aim of my life is fulfilled and 2nd aim of my life is to become a composer.Shreya said,”Please compose songs,phir saath mein baht se gaane gayenge”.Gosh…A BIG COMPLEMENT.

I will cherish this moment forever.I wish these 15 mnts come again and again in my life.

God Bless U Shreya.

Thanks a lot once again

Hey Nishant,

I didn't even read the post. I actually started out to write a comment instead. Great that you finally got to meet the incredible singing sensation Shreya Ghoshal.

All the best!

Hi Nishant!

I can see how you would have felt at that moment when you met your idol! Congrats for the success in your trials to meet her!

A special thanks from me for asking her about Ilaiyaraaja and getting the nice reply from her!

And, of course, do convey my extra special thanks to Shreya too!

Yours Always Musically,
Vijay.

Pramod Somanna said...

Infact, 2009 is a great year for Shreya Ghoshal. She won 2 filmfare awards and a biggie, National award(ofcourse this award for 2007-08, but award presented this year). I wud have been more happy, if you wud have asked about Mano Murthy.But no problem, i am still very happy for you.
2009 is a great year for you as well. Met your god and your god is following you on twitter.

Nishant said...

Hi Pramod...I wanted to ask fort many music directors and Mano murthy was one of them.I am really sad for that.My mind was empty dat tym :(

Hemant Khachane said...

Dear Nishant,
I have gone through your blog. I am also fan of Sherya Ghoshal. I am software engineer working in US and spent most of my bare time in hearing Sherya's songs.

In life everything comes under comic consciousness and I think having true and pure feeling for anything can create miracles. You are getting glimpses of it Eg. you met Sherya 2 times. There are thousands of people who are Sherya's fan but everyone does not get chance to meet her. Its your strong desire and feeling which bought the result. You are young, did not see much life so please use this feeling as creative process and as Sherya told you make your career as music composer.
Congratulation !


All the best for your rest life and hopefully new journey of your music life.


Thanks,
Hemant K

Nishant said...
