Of Reality bites and Reelity bites.

1 more scandal!1 more reality show participant making national headlines..but this time..it's a win nor is it a loss.It's more of accepting the euphemism (if i may call it)of a defeat.Or should I say criticism..can we all handle it in the right way?Without taking any names,I would like to recall a certain reality show winners..but neah..I don't seem to remember their names?Gosh is my memory weak????Am I losing it?Or didn't they show up the party circuit for the last few months.Neah they might have not thrown a party in their o-my-gawd-it's-so-gorgeous penthouse worth like 10crores or maybe?Or else they might have not worn underwears designed by Gucci.

Long back in school my pa used to always tell me,"beta just because people say never participate to win,it's also true that people don't remember losers,only the winners are honoured."But do we really remember all the *winners*?????How many people who read this might be able to recollect who Lymriana D'souza is.Have you heard the name Sandhya Chibb???Who are these 2 ladies?Lolz, they both were the winners of the Miss India contests.But yeah are we really remembering them?Reality shows like,Indian Idol,Nach Baliye,Big Boss,Sa Re Ga Ma Pa etc etc have been a lot in the news lately.Firstly I doubt their authencity as in I truly find them to be rigged.The channel owners have been playing the parochial card for a long time and they continue doing so.The tears,the laughs,the smiles,the words of advice,the criticisms are all fake as their eyelashes.There's more to it what is hidden behind the umpteen layers of make-up.I bet the cell-fone companies must be all laughing at the way the viewers voted their favourite contestants and h0w they were left with their money wasted on smsing them.So even if a contestant,was he or she the only who really *won*??????The cell-fone companies won a hell-lota profit,the channel owners gained publicity,the judges were all oh-yes-I-always-saw-potential-in-him/her-was-a-winner-throughout!And about the price money of 1crore...how long do you think it will take for 1crore to be all spent out in a place like Mumbai?

Coming back...the way these competitions are judged..*junta ke haath,main faisla*ARey to yeh judges kyun baithe hai?Seat garam karne ke liye???A few of their words of being critical*tumhari awaaz main woh damak nahi hai(arey awaz main kaise hogi damak,woh to daaton ko honi chahiye)*tum aur mehanat karo,tumhari awaz thodi nazuk hai,jara aur energy lao performance main*(mr/miss/ms. judge ji,kya aapne school main physics nahi padha?energy ko create bhi nahi kar sakte aur usko destroy bhi nahi kar sakte,Usko to sirf ek form se dusre form main convert kiya jaa sakta hai.Aur agar main apni energy bajuwale ko de -du to wohi yeh competition jeetega.)The winners are usually hailing from small towns(nothing against them)but what could be a bigger example of parochial politics?Isn't this a mockery of a great art of music.Isn't this a mockery of talent?What I really hated was the way the contestants were criticized.I wanted to ask a certain if he really came out of his mother's womb singing.Singing is a talent which you have to develop and practice over a long period of time.But can 3 people really decide your fate?Can they be the ultimate judges of your talent or would you still depend on a country of 1 billion people(which includes people being illiterate,living below the poverty line,living in insurgency areas)to make a judgement on your talent?Contd in part 2!coming sooon!
