She wanted to win the opportunity, but she needed to sort things out with Deepak first.

As the class was dismissed, Anjali hurried over to Deepak. When she finally made eye contact with him, he purposely looked away and walked off. The next day at school, Anjali overheard Deepak whispering to Mary. “People are only interested because she’s the only girl in tabla class and they want her to feel special.

“It’s not my fault that people make a big deal about a girl playing tabla. I make mistakes too, but I work really hard. Maybe he should, too. He should be less mean and practice more.”
“If I play in this concert, no one will talk to me again. He will turn everyone against me.”

One of them was illustrated with several instruments and a quote “Never dim your light (不要让你的光芒暗淡).” For that very moment, Anjali recalled how she was attracted the first time she saw someone playing tabla, by the beautiful sounds he was creating with his hands.

“Very impressive.” He remarked awkwardly that he was just jealous because tabla should be a boy’s instrument. Anjali shrugged (耸肩), “You know there is no such thing.” As Anjali took one last look at the stage, she felt such a relief.
