Early life and background

edit

Malini Awasthi was born in the city of perfumes, Kannauj,Uttar Pradeshinto a family of doctors. She was the youngest amongst the trinity that the couple were parents to. Her father Dr. P.N. Awasthi, was fond of classical music and her mother Mrs. Nirmala Awasthi, deeply cherished the Purab Ang Gayaki and Bhajans. This blend reflects in the mellifluous singing of the singer today.[4]She was innitiated into music at a tender age of 5, on the insistence of her melophile mother. Neither her family nor she herself had an idea that this innitiation will eventually add an important facet of folk music into cultural landscape of the country.[8]The picture of the puzzle got better when she cleared her exams ofPrayag Sangeet Samitiyears before she was expected to.[10]

This can be figured out by one such incidents where as per the singer, she slept during an exam as she was tired because she used to stand and write her exams, as benches were taller than her existence. Along with her academic training from Mount Carmel College she received her formal tutelage from Ustad Rahat Ali Khan.

She went on to do her Postgraduation inHindustani classical musicfromBhatkhande University,Lucknow.[11][12]and a Postgraduation in Modern History with specialization in Medieval and modern Indian architecture, fromUniversity of Lucknowsimultaneously. She was conferred with a gold medal in both of her master's degrees.

She is a Ganda bandh student of Legendary Hindustani Classical Singer,Padma VibhushanVidushiGirija Deviof Banaras Gharana. This was the only satisfaction that her mother, a cancer patient could see happening before she left. She is married to senior IAS officerAwanish Kumar Awasthi(UP:1987) who retired as Principal Secretary to Government of Uttar Pradesh. Currently her spouse is an advisor to HonorableChief Minister of U.P.They have a son Adwitiya and a daughter Ananya.[13]

He remarked, "Malini, you don't know what you have, very few have the knowledge that you have!"[citation needed]

But the transferable nature of the jobs of both her father and her husband helped her connect better with the roots. Much like her name, she was always inclined towards spewing the fragrance of the soil that she comes from.
