- Anwesha Duttagupta, the contestant in Chhote Ustaad from Kolkata has won many hearts through her soulful singing. Even after coming in the scaryland repeatedly, this girl made sure to make it to the finals through her talent. She won the hearts of everyone on the show with her sweet smile and her melodious singing. A very down to earth girl she is sure to create waves in the music industry is what most music lovers feel.
- How has your journey been through Chhote Ustaad?
- It has been a great experience. I have learnt a lot apart from the competition. And I enjoyed a lot with all my friends. And most importantly, I got to learn a lot from two very important people Anand Sharma and Anuj Kapoor, who help us train and give us a lot of technical tips.
- How do you feel reaching the finals?
- I am quite excited about being in the finals. I am workinhg really hard and we will try and give our best so that the finale is a rocking show.
- Were you sure of coming this far?
- I wouldn’t say that I was over-confident of making it big here, at the same time I was sure that I had it in me to move on in the competition. My mother had always told me to take it one step at a time. And that’s what I did, I started out slowly by thinking that I just hope I reach the top 11 first. Doing so, I have finally reached the finals.
- How are you preparing for the finals?
- Preparation is going on pretty strong. We are concentrating a lot more on the performance and our singing. Along with the tension of being in the finals, there is also a lot of excitement. We are working very hard to make sure the finale is a good show.
- Among the three judges, who is ur favorite?
- All three of them are equally nice. They have all been very caring towards us throughout the competition. They have always made their decisions unanimously and their comments usually don’t vary. All three are the best in their own style and genre.
- In the usual format of such shows except for the finals, all the ronds are done in the studio. How do you feel going through this changed format? Which format do you feel is better?
- Well when it is a live performance, we have to practice a lot more than for a recorded performance. There is a lot of stress and tension associated with a live performance. In fact I was present for the grand finale of Star Voice of India and I saw that there were a lot of rehearsals held. I have never thought on the lines of which format is better. Both the formats are good in their own way.
- Who among you two have the best chance to win?
- Umm… what can I say about that? Both of us are working very hard and will give our best. Winning or losing is a part of any competition. All I can say is that after coming to this platform, we have received equal adulation and blessings and I don’t think winning or losing really matters, after reaching to this level.
- Any incident that touched you and you would be taking with you after the show gets over?
- Yeah I do have a special memory. When the Star Voice of India finale was going on, Lata Mangeshkar had come as the celebrity judge on the show and I was quite excited to meet her. I went up to her and received her blessings too.
- Future plans after this show?
- After Chhote Ustaad, I hope to become a successful playback singer. Hopefully as I grow I become a versatile singer, that’s all is what I wish for.
- Actresses you would love to do playback singing for?
- I would like to do playback singing for all the actresses.

Sharukh the undisputed King Of "Bollywood"Filed Under: Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan
- Who is the star of Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan or Akshay Kumar? Many found this question to be very dumb –“It is Shah Rukh, of course!’’ they said.
- There was online voting done and Sharukh did win the poll. This was not unexpected as it was somewhat expected.
- Shah Rukh Khan did win the poll and that didn’t surprise us. What did was the large number of readers who voted for Akshay Kumar too! Looks like he is next on the confederacy.
- The main reason Sharukh was voted was because of his adaptability which spans across genres such as romance, excitement, comedy and action - not unlike Amitabh Bachchan who ruled Bollywood in the 70s and 80s.
Quote of the day:
The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth. - Niels Bohr

Top 10 Songs and 5 Albums of 2007Filed Under: Uncategorized
Top songs
Last year’s top song was definitely Beedi Jalai Le. Its trendy folk-flavour floored everyone in 2006. This year, Chak De India’s anthem was by far the best song of the year. The singer Sukhvinder Singh, who also had a major role in Beedi’s success, has thus received top of the year honors twice.
Remixes
The painful glut of remixes has slowed down, though not stopped entirely. Now, composers include remixed versions on the original albums before anyone else has a chance to manipulate the tunes. In short, this trend is a lesser of the two evils.
Top 10 Songs
Amidst largely similar-sounding songs, a few songs made a difference.
-
Chak De
(Chak De India) Sukhvinder Singh -
Aankhon Mein Teri
(Om Shanti Om) KK -
Jabse Tere Naina
(Saawariya) Shaan -
Halke Halke
(Honeymoon Travels) Neraj Shridhar -
In Dinon Dil Mera
(Life In A… Metro) Soham -
Kitni Der Tak
(Delhi Heights) Sonu Nigam -
Cheeni Kum Hai
(Cheeni Kum) Shreya Ghoshal -
Mind Blowing Mahiya
(Cash) Sunidhi Chouhan -
Aye Ganpat
(Shootout at Lokhandwala) Mika Singh -
Jhoom Barabar Jhoom
(Jhoom Barabar Jhoom) Shankar Mahadevan
Top 5 Albums of the year
1. Khoya Khoya Chand by Shantanu Moitra
2. Life In A Metro by Pritam
3. Saawariya by Monty Sharma
4. Om Shanti Om by Vishal-Shekhar
5. Delhi Heights by Rabbi Shergil
ARTISTE’S CHOICE
- Shankar Mahadevan
“I think our work, as composers,in Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (he was a part of the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy composer-trio for JBJ) was appreciated, even though the film did not do well at the box-office. As a singer, I enjoyed singing its title song. I am happy to explore different music genres on different soundtracks.”
- Shreya Ghoshal
“Luckily, this year I managed to sing quite a few good songs such as the title song of Cheeni Kum, the slow version of Tara Rum Pum, the item number Yeh Ishq Haaye and the semi-classical Chhand Re. In Khoya Khoya Chaand, I enjoyed singing Thirak Thirak, a duet with Sonu Nigam, where I received specific instructions not to go overboard. I also sang Chale Aao Sainya, which was a good classical number.”
- Shaan
“I loved the title-songs of Johnny Gaddar, Aankhon Mein Teri, Om Shanti Om and the romantic duet – Bol Na Halke from Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. Among my own efforts, I liked Jabse Tere Naina from Saawariya and Yeh Pyar Kya Hai – the romantic ballad from Marigold.”
