When Raju saw that picture, he liked it.That actress was always favorite for him. He just kept looking at her picture when suddenly his Dad entered. Dad "What are you doing?""Nothing.Just reading.""Reading?!!Don't lie to me. You are watching that picture.""No Dad."His Dad screamed on him. "Never lie to me. Do you know how wrong it is to watch those films?"Raju nodded.But inside his heart he wanted to argue about it. Raju just didn't able to agree that watching film or television was that bad. Raju's every friend did it.Even topper of his school used to watch some movies. He had heard that topper discussing about heroins.But Raju's Dad was against it all. Dad "Who bought this magazine?" His Dad screamed so loudly that his Mom ran to see what was wrong. His Mom"What happened?"His Dad threw magazine on his Mom's face. Raju was so shocked.He never thought that it all would turn into such ugly scene. Raju" Mom it was that magazine which Poonam auntie had forgotten. I was just about to give it back so I took it in my hand." Raju's Dad slapped him on back.It really hurt when his Dad hit him. But still Raju never wanted to show his tears because he knew that if he showed them.Then his Dad would call him like girl and joke on him."Lying.This boy is lying.He was watching those pictures.How many times I told you to tell your sister not to bring such type of magazine in my home."While talking this Dad insisted on his house,that was Dad's attitude. But Raju didn't have much hope from his Mom also. She was also had same type of thinking but just different type of attitude. She started crying loudly.She started chanting god's name as if Raju did some big crime.His Mother"What is my sin that my son turn out to be that bad?First my sister turn out to be sinner now my son..""No..No.Mom...Dad I was just about to throw it away in trash.""And before throwing it.He just looked it. Will you believe this Minakshi? He was planning to just throw it away."Minakshi started crying loudly.Her strong and loud voice was irritating that Raju just wanted to stop her. Raju"I promise Dad.. Mom I will not see it again."Then his Dad hit him with more force.It was really painful. "So you are confessing the truth.You were watching that girl who wore that horrible dress."Minkshi started crying more loudly. It was so horrible for Raju. Raju wanted to stop those screams. But every thing turned into wrong way now his Mom was crying for his all sins which was so horrible.Then his Dad started abusing him. Raju just ran away in bathroom because he didn't want to be beaten by his father.He was so scared.He swear loudly that he would never do that again.He kept screaming it from bathroom. He was there for long time. He was so scared.He felt as if he was going to remain stuck in bathroom for entire life.On that point he thought that he would never did that mistake again.He remained there for some time.He didn't know that he was stuck there for long time. But finally his Dad came outside and called Raju"You can come outside.""But Dad first promise me that you will not beat me.""Okay fine."His Dad never gave false promise so he came out.But as soon as he came his father asked "Promise me before god that you will never read those types of things."Raju "Yes Dad. I will promise."Then they went together before statue of god.Minakshi was already sitting there. Raju took promise before god that he would never did it again. Finally every thing was over.
         After that Raju never dared to look at any film magazine. Slowly he started showing interest in different things. But whenever his friends decided to go for movie Raju just used to avoid them,he used to give reason. When they started talking about actress,he mostly shifted subject to some thing like sports and most of friends loved it so they shift.Those who didn't appreciate it. Most return back to those chaper but on those points Raju just made some excuse. His friends always thought that he was addicted to sport and he saved every rupee for ticket of some match. None of them sensed any thing wrong they just made some jokes about it. Atmostpher of his home was just same they never wanted to change so they just avoided those changes. Everything was turning perfectly as per his father's wish still his father just never stopped screaming on him and his mother was not that supportive to him. Since she was too busy with her household work and fasting. Every day she had some ritual to perform and his father worshipped his mother's that quality. Minakshi was like godess to Raju's Dad when she did fast. Nothing loud was permitted when she went on fast which was always happened few days. Then Raju's Dad sat near her feet and sang nice song in praise of god to her. This Dad was using instrument.Then suddenly one day his Dad asked Raju "Why don't you sing that song?" "Actually I have never tried to sing a song."His father smiled. His Dad wanted Raju to try so he gave Raju that book which had many songs inside. Raju tired to sing song. Raju sang it so perfectly that his parents were enchanted. Then Minakshi said " I think we should send Raju to learn music."His Dad nodded."Yes, he is having goddess in his throat. It was so perfect..that song reminded me of that pure feeling which we hear in temple so nice.I feel that he must learn Bhajan and songs for god's worship."Minkshi "You are right but they also teach those songs of films." Raju's Dad looked at them both with anger."Never take those names before me."Minakshi started slapping her cheeks with her own hand."I am so sorry. But we must have to think.""Don't worry. I know one teacher who just teach bhajans to students.He never talk about movie.He just have faith in god."Minakshi smiled happily. Raju no more ready to question his parent's decision in fact he had began to believe that films where worst thing in life. He started thinking on every angle in just one way. That film were worst thing inside life. In those films were something which would lead them to worst point of life. He began to think that he never wanted to go near films but he loved to learn something new in art so he was happy. Next day they went to that music teacher.Raju was so happy at beginning when he saw that teacher.That teacher was so religious that they were sure that he would not let that other songs even near Raju. So they took admission inside that class where this teacher began to teach many songs on every point.
          At beginning every thing was perfect. That teacher was singing many songs on every point. This teacher was singing nice religious songs.They were so sweet. Each had perfect lyrics. There was nice sort of songs on every point. Raju was practicing them on every day. Minakshi was listening to him every day.But he never dared to mentioned to those songs on every point. At beginning those songs looked so excellent inside our life. Those songs which would be good for Raju. But he never dared to sing them in college. On every moment that teacher was singing those nice songs.But then one day suddenly that teacher asked him. "Can I teach you one song which is classical?"Raju was so scared."No.. NO..sir.""Okay..Okay don't look so scared. I am just asking because I feel you may like it.""No sir. I never like to hear those songs. We just feel one thing from inside that films are worst thing in life.I just hate them from heart on every point." Raju start criticizing film.His teacher nodded "As you wish. But new students are joining from tomorrow.They are all interested in movie songs so I will teach them.You have learn all songs I know.""But I have just started learning.""I know this much only. If you wish I can teach you some other song.But you don't want them..."Now Raju was so confused.He wanted to learn more and his teacher was willing but only those songs were from films.Finally Raju agreed "Fine. I will come. But you will teach me some Bhajan everyday." Teacher "Of course we start our class with Bhajan only and on Monday I will just teach Bhajan. Do you think this will be okay with you? "Raju was so scared to learn that film songs but he wanted to learn those Bhajan .He had to agree. Next day he went back to that singing class. His teacher began class with Bhajan. There were lot of new students there so film songs were wanted by many people.When Raju saw increase in students, he felt that he just couldn't blame his teacher for this change.But somewhere in heart he felt that it was like worshiping evil to get nice sort of things in world. He just didn't like it.He felt that it was totally wrong inside life but then he felt that it was worst on any point. Raju was getting tempted on every point by those new songs.He had to decide that they were evil but still on every moment Raju was hearing many sort of songs on every point. He was learning those songs step by step. He was learning many types of songs.At beginning he felt that those film songs were evil but step by step those songs would started looking better and better.He started feeling fresh on every point because those songs were so innocent and nice.He sensed that nothing evil in them. He started singing those songs on many times of days. But He wanted to sense something  ugly and evil.Then he wanted to think that those song would look so bad.When those songs would look so fresh that he started singing those songs in perfect way. He wanted to forget them.But those songs would look some great and fresh.
     Slowly Raju started singing those film songs.But then suddenly he felt that some thing was dirty in his body.He didn't understand that why did he felt this way. He was singing that song of film but he sensed that he began to love those songs.These songs were so new and interesting inside his life. Raju started singing song but then he felt that he needed to take bath.He went in bathroom and started cleaning himself. After some time he felt that he was clean.He came out of bathroom. Then Minakshi called him for breakfast. He came out. Minakshi"Did you came after bath?" Raju smiled "Ya Mom."Then his Dad joined them. His Dad"So how are you? I hope in college you are doing fine.""Perfect Dad.""So what is your latest chapter?"Raju started explaining every thing about college when suddenly Minakshi asked "And what about that music class?" Raju had decided that he would lie so he began" Actually teacher is teaching me many Bhajans every day.""Then sing one of them."Raju nodded.He sang that Bhajan perfectly.He had born talent so his Dad never had doubt that Raju had not practiced it on any point. His parents admired that song from heart but Raju felt some guilt and he looked so upset. He just felt once again.He was dirty.He sensed that he had to take bath to clean himself. Raju "I needed to take bath." His parents were so shocked. Raju went in bathroom and took that bath.He just didn't feel clean.He was rubbing himself with soaps again and again. But he didn't feel clean. Then he finally went out. His parents were so shocked to see him. Raju started to look so red due to over use of soap. But he just didn't feel as if he was clean. He just wanted to go in bathroom again. He was cleaning himself. On every point he wanted to go back to bathroom and clean himself again and again. But his parents were looking at him. He had to go out and eat his breakfast.He ate some food then he sensed that he was no longer hungry. He just wanted to clean himself. Raju"Mom that is enough.""But you have eaten so less.""No..Mom.. I am not hungry.""Okay.. okay. Why are you screaming?""I am not screaming!!""You are screaming."Now his Dad screamed on him.Suddenly he felt scared.He just jumped out of his chair and ran to his room.He took his bag from room and ran to college. He felt that when he went in college.He would not feel need to cleaning.But that urge was just not leaving him alone.He wanted to clean again. At same time when he heard that film song,he started singing. Other students noticed sweetness of his voice so started insisting on singing.He wanted to say no but his heart was not ready.He started singing every day.Day by day he got famous in college as singer and same time he started feeling need of cleanliness more and more. Now his hands were scratched due to over use of soaps. After some time he started going to take bath. His parents had began to sense something was wrong. One day finally his Dad decided that it was enough. His Dad "Why are you taking that bath again and again?""Because I am dirty.""No you are not."His Dad screamed on him Minakshi cried before him but still they could not stop that urge just continued. Raju kept singing and hiding it from parents.Slowly his singing became so famous that one day one person asked him to perform on stage show. His college started insisting that he must participate in music contest. He just couldn't say know.But worst thing was that he never felt clean any more.
       Minakshi was watching Raju each day.His hands were getting worst by washing.Now his hands were so wounded that he had troubles even to write with them. Minakshi"Raju stop using so much soap.""I can't Mom. I feel so much dirty.""But you have taken bath five times a day.""I know Mom.But still I just want to.""But look at your hand.""Mom let go to Doctor. He will cure them.""But you...""Stop advising Mom. Please let's go to Doctor."Minakshi nodded.She immediately took Raju to Doctor who looked at his hand and gave cream. Then he slowly told Minakshi that her son needed psychiatrist."What?But we never did any sin and he is not mad.""I know.But still he need one." Minakshi was so confused. She was about to call Raju's Dad. But Raju stopped her. Raju "I will go there only if you promise that you will not tell Dad, promise me."Raju started crying.Finally Minakshi agreed. Then they went to psychiatrist who studied every thing in details.  Psychiatrist told Minakshi that he must talk with Raju alone.At beginning Raju didn't let him but finally he confessed about film songs and stage show.Psychiatrist" What is wrong in it?""It is sin."" Who told you?" "My parents say that.""Okay.."Then slowly Psychiatrist started convincing Raju that he was not doing sin."But Doctor you have to convince my parents too"Psychiatrist"I can convince your Mom if you wish but I can't convince every one Raju.You have to decide by your own thinking who is right and who is wrong you just can't keep faith like that regarding every thing every person says Raju. You have to decide. You have to ignore them.""But Doctor it is hard. You have to do it. You are suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder. In which you get obsessed with cleanliness and it was happening because you are convinced that those film songs are evil. But think about that point properly and then you will sense that you are wrong."Slowly step by step Psychiatrist convinced Raju that he was doing right thing by singing. Raju started singing each song with confidence. His psychiatrist convinced him to handle situations. His Dad still screamed on him whenever he sang some filmy song but he no longer cared. Since he was getting better and better offer and his career was started. He was thinking just about going ahead whenever he get any money.His parents just didn't appreciate it. They were just against it.But Raju no longer cared. He sensed that he could  not make happy his parents. He had his own life style and music is his career.He had to sing every song which he was given and it was his duty. He felt that he must sang them. That filmy songs didn't appeal him that much sometimes. He just hated their words. But he knew one thing that he was not doing sin by singing them because people just loved them.Then people wanted those song and as singer it was his duty to sing them. He sang those songs in so pleasant way that they appealed him more and more inside life. Even worst song looked best when it remembered one thing that it was his duty to sing so now Raju just sang without caring what other feel. Since that his singing was his life and he knew that his parents never understand it. But when he kept singing finally they had to accept it. It all happened as psychiatrist told him. That psychiatrist told Raju that he couldn't convince his parents but if he kept doing it then they would accept without smile. Same thing happened but Raju didn't care, he just loved his career.
