First Note of Chaos

Chennai | Early morning in a Carnatic music sabha

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

Appa ( father) just dropped me. Sabha is half empty. Where is Priya akka ( elder sister) ?!

Priya ( Fl cousin/frd)

🤳 Relax, kutti! I'm in an Uber. Got stuck because your Athimber forgot today is your big audition!

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

😒 You forgot too. This is not just any audition. Sangita Kalacharya's scholarship! If I don’t get in, Paati( Grandma ) will declare me unworthy of even singing in the bathroom.

Priya ( Fl cousin/frd)

🤳 😂 True. Her eyes alone could cause power cuts. Anyway, sing like you did last week – that Thodi raagam alaapana gave me goosebumps!

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

Thanks… I’m nervous. And the judge is some hotshot film music director from Hyderabad. I bet he doesn’t even like Carnatic!

Priya ( Fl cousin/frd)

🤳 Wait – who is it?

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

Raghav Devraj.

Priya ( Fl cousin/frd)

😳 THAT Raghav? Tall, curly-haired, sunglasses-at-night guy? You’re doomed. He once composed a kuthu song with auto horns.

Meanwhile, backstage...

Vikram (Vicky ) Nair ( ML frd)

🎥 Bro, you sure about judging this? You just escaped from that film deadline.

Raghav Devraj (ML)

🎧 It’s Ma’s dream. She wanted me to rediscover my roots. Classical music, culture, filter coffee... the whole thali meal.

Vikram (Vicky ) Nair ( ML frd)

🎥 Also, Ma said if you don’t do this, she’ll send you to Tirupati for 40 days.

Raghav Devraj (ML)

🎧 😑 She really would. Okay, let’s get this over with.

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

😳 He’s walking in. Why is he wearing a leather jacket... to a Carnatic sabha?!

Raghav Devraj (ML)

Priya ( Fl cousin/frd)

🤳 Maybe he thinks mridangam is a new fashion brand.

Raghav Devraj (ML)

🎧 (scrolls through names) Anvitha Ramesh?

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

(stands nervously) Yes, sir.

Raghav Devraj (ML)

🎧 Let’s begin. Raagam?

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

Bhairavi

Raghav Devraj (ML)

🎧 Nice. Old soul, huh?

Anvitha begins singing. Her voice fills the hall, slow, steady, soaked in emotion. Raghav’s expression changes. Something stirs

Vikram (Vicky ) Nair ( ML frd)

(texting Raghav) Bro, you okay? You’re... blinking emotionally.

Raghav Devraj (ML)

(Texting back) She’s good. Too good. Feels like home.

After few minutes

Priya ( Fl cousin/frd)

🤳 Did he... smile?( watching all this in anvitha video call)

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

Worse. He’s looking at me like I’m an audio file he wants to remix.

Raghav Devraj (ML)

Thanks, Ms. Anvitha. You’ve got... soul. We’ll be in touch.

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

(Tamil under her breath) Inimey ivanala than thappika mudiyathu... (From now on, I can't escape him...)

Later that night…

Raghav Devraj (ML)

(texting Vicky) Get me her contact. I need her voice for a new track. Something raw. Honest.

Vikram (Vicky ) Nair ( ML frd)

Oh no. Bro. You’re not just composing. You’re falling.

To be continued…

Strings of the Past

Ramesh Home, Chennai | Evening

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

Appa, did you hear? Raghav Devraj wants to use my voice in his new composition!

Ramesh ( FL father)

(sipping filter coffee) Raghav Devraj? The same one from Hyderabad film family?

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

Yes, Appa. He was at the sabha today.

Ramesh ( FL father)

Hmm. I know his father — a tough man. You must be careful, Anvitha.

Priya ( Fl cousin/frd)

(whispering) You think Appa will let you work with a film guy?

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

He’s traditional… thinks film music is like ‘junk food’ compared to Carnatic ‘home-cooked meal.’ But maybe this is my chance to prove that tradition and modern can mix?

Meanwhile, at Hyderabad…

Devraj Rao ( ML Father)

(on phone) Raghav, did you invite Anvitha to the studio yet? Your mother is expecting a grand “cultural integration” event.

Raghav Devraj (ML)

Yes, Appa. I’m handling it. But honestly, I’m curious why the girl from Chennai is so special.

Devraj Rao ( ML Father)

Because, son, the Ramesh family carries legacy. Marrying into it will strengthen ties.

Raghav Devraj (ML)

(to Vicky) Looks like this is bigger than music now. Family politics

Vikram (Vicky ) Nair ( ML frd)

Told you, bro — this isn’t just about composing tunes. It’s about legacy.

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

Priya, I’m scared. What if Appa forbids me? What if Paati gets upset? She already calls me “half-baked singer” whenever I miss a note.

Priya ( Fl cousin/frd)

You’re braver than you think. You sang today like a goddess.

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

Maybe. But can love and family ever find the same rhythm?

Later that night: Anvitha’s Grandma’s veranda

Smt. Janaki Ramesh (Fl grandma)

(stern) Anvitha, music is not just sound. It’s dharmam. Don’t let the bright lights of filmy Hyderabad blind you.

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

Paati, I want to sing for everyone — not just our little world.

Smt. Janaki Ramesh (Fl grandma)

Then be ready for storms, child. Storms from family... and from your own heart.

Raghav Devraj (ML)

(messaging Anvitha) “Will you come to Hyderabad for a week? There’s a project I want you to hear.”

Anvitha Ramesh ( FL)

(hesitates) Should I say yes? It could mean everything... or nothing.

Priya ( Fl cousin/frd)

"Do it! Leap, or you’ll never fly.”
