Sur Kshetra: Revised

The One With The Amazingly Awesome Angelic Voice

THIS IS THE ONE. I WOULD TRAVEL THE EARTH JUST TO FIND AND PURCHASE THIS FINE DRESS.

I quickly took my seat at the Junior Judges Table. I waited for my desk mates to come join me. I was told by one of the sound guys that Ali planned to have Atif sing an intro today since today's theme was love songs. The Indian and Pakistani music team was setting down their instruments. Abida Jee was the first one to arrive to the Senior Judges Table.

"Acha, kaisi ho bachi?" She asks and smiles.

"Theek thak, sab loag kahan ge?"

We look around and laugh. Soon more people were sitting down after Ali shooed them to their seats.

I couldn't wait for the moment Yashraj finds out that I was not some lowly hair stylist but a Junior Judge and I'd be judging HIM.

Asma and Mina sit down next to me.

"GIRLLLLLLLLLLL YOU LOOK GOOOOD." Asma says while looking at me. "That dress looks unbelievable on you."

"You can thank Mina for the makeup" I say and Armina smiles. Us Junior Judges were supposed to be getting our own selves ready, but if we finished the contestants early, we had time to get each other ready which was always fun.

"DAAAAAAYUM girl, you should quit your job here and become a full-time MUA." Asma compliments Armina.

Armina glowed and said "Yeah but then-"

"Atif wouldn't be there." I finish as Armina scowls. Asma and I laugh as Atif walks across stage to join Himmesh at the Captains Table.

"There goes your man right now." Asma says and Atif looks over at our table.

"SHHH what if he heard that? I'd never hear the end of it after that." Armina says as she shakes her head.

Ayesha steps onto the stage and Ali gives the cue.

"Welcome to Sur Kshetra! Powered by Dabar Amla Hair Oil. Today's episode is extra special because the theme is love songs." Ayesha lets out a fake laugh and then looks at Atif. "Captain Atif, so many of your songs are love songs and have been hit songs, who is your inspiration when you write these songs?"

"Just a little somebody who's here nor there." He says and smiles.

Ayesha laughs and says, "Is it me?"

Atif laughed. "Nooooo, my inspiration is someone who's my age."

The pakistani music team's drummer does a comical "ba dum tsssss"

We all laugh as Ayesha looks offended but then continues on. "Will you sing one of your famous love songs for us?"

"Sure why not." He walks up on stage and I SWEAR I see him turn toward the Junior Judges Table.

ALRIGHTY, so from here, stop and go play "Hona Tha Pyar" (pls don't kill me Getlitfam ) and then come back and read 😜

Hona tha pyar
Hona tha pyar, huwa mere yaar

I turn toward Armina and she looks like she's about to pass out.

Hona tha pyar, huwa mere yaar

I turn toward Asma and whisper, "Oh my God look at Mina." We both turn and try not to laugh at how mesmerized she looks.

Aaye nazar chehre hazaar

"Someone check her blood pressure so we can make sure she doesn't faint." Asma says.

Hona tha pyaar, huwa mere yaar
Hona tha pyaar

I reach over and pinch Mina.

"OW! What was that for ??" She replies while rubbing her sore arm.
