Today SVOI Chotte Ustad Final!Filed Under: Amul SVOI, Amul Star Voice of India, Articles, Blogs, India, Star Plus, Star Voice Of India

In continuation of the previous post of Chotte Ustad

There is no second judgment that Anwesha is the unsurpassed candidate for the Chotte Ustad title.  Howsoever, even Star Plus is bountiful by giving more exposure for Aishwariya, the end result has to be that Anwesha of Kolkatta will bag the crown.  Her code number is 9 for the voting lines, which itself is a unambiguous clue that she is the obvious winner, as numerologically 9 is a very powerful number compared to 11 of Aishwsariya.  The precise talent, correct aptitude, flair, endowment and above all, the  right contestant has to win ,and that is Anwesha.

The pre-eminent and the most greatest part I like about Anwesha is that all along with persuasive and credible singing, she possess down to earth intrinsic worth, a quality which is personified in her body language, perhaps she got it genetically from her mother who always keeps a optimistic, buoyant and positive smiling face even when Aishwariya is being praised ;dissimilar to Aishwairya’s mother who makes unconcerned and undaunted facial expressions when Anwesha is praised. What I mean to communicate is that Anwesha’s naive and raw qualities are too personified in her singing capabilities.  I am stressing the point again that Anwesha is the best gifted sweet melodious singer and so please help her win the title.

Kya aap Paanchvi pass se tez hain cavalcade is running from city to city auditioning for the apparent contestants for the show. As so many general public are registering for the auditions, the selection team is in a huge impasse over categorization of the challenger profiles.

The consequence of the on-air and off-air promotion is so marvellous that audience from different backgrounds right from doctors to actors have come to the audition to involve oneself as contestants on Paanchvi Pass.
Bhopal and Bangalore saw lakhs of aspirants requesting to meet Shah Rukh Khan or get his immediate look thinking that he has come personally for the auditions; although SRK didn’t travel himself for the same.

Touch me not pleassssFiled Under: Rakhi Sawant

Nana Patekar, on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss , passed a critical statement on Tanushree’s outfit and she got annoyed. The result: Rakhi has replaced Tanushree Dutta

Sarang, the Producer of the movie established the news and said, “Tanushree refused to attend the rehearsals and wanted to start shooting the song directly. She also insisted that the song should be picturised only on her.â€? 

But Tanushree trying to camouflage the issue said, “Yes, there was an issue on the sets, but I didn’t want to take this to the media. Is there anything wrong with that? But the electronic media was adamant on getting bytes from me and in the fracas, my car was damaged. Moreover, if I wanted to throw tantrums, I would have thrown them on the very first day and not waited for the last day of the shoot. I rehearsed for five days for the song and was well prepared for it.â€? 
A source close to the actress made known, “When the filmmakers had approached Tanushree for the item number, she had not only confirmed the design of her costume, but also the dance steps for the song. But she was shocked when she learnt that the dance involved intimate touching, which was not acceptable to her.â€? 
In the meantime, when asked about the confrontation, Rakhi said, “Rakesh Sarang felt that I was the right person for the song so I agreed to do it. I have great regard for Nana Patekar.�

Reminiscences of an old gallantry award winnerFiled Under: Images, India, Indians, Interviews

He won gallantry award from Pandit Jawarhal Lal Nehru at the age of 14, but now at the age of 64, he lives the life of an unsung hero in the by-lanes of Chandi Chowk, Old Delhi, India

• An icon at the age of 14 and an insignificant person at 64. This is Harish Chander Mehra, the first gallantry award winner who now lives unsung in the bylanes of Katra Neel in Chandni Chowk. 
• The honour was bestowed on him in 1958 by then Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, whose life he had saved. Still then, the awards are now given to children annually on Indian Republic Day and they pass through Rajpath, near India Gate, sitting on an elephant.
• The reminiscences are stamped in Mehra’s heart and the pain of having been elapsed once the short dalliance with famous person’s status died.

• Recollecting the incident Mehra quoted “On October 2, 1957 evening, during the Ram Lila celebrations in Old Delhi’s Ramlila Ground, Nehru along with his daughter, Indira Gandhi and some foreign delegates was watching the fireworks that preceded the function. Suddenly, some sparks fell on the tent in which they were sitting and it caught fire.”
• The congested place had people running haphazardly to accumulate their lives. Mehra, then a boy scout, was standing at the entrance hall of the pergola. He entered the flaming tent and ran near Nehru and instantaneously pulled him in the direction of the dais. In a fraction of seconds, he climbed on to one of the poles, pulled out the scouts’ knife and cut off the burning tent. In the scuffle, Mehra’s hands got rigorously blistered and he gone unconscious.
• Mehra was presented with a certificate on the nexdt morning by Minister Jagjivanram. After three months, while studying in Class 8, his Principal, Tej Bhan Sethi entered the classroom and took the dazed child to the string of media persons and photographers waiting for him on the school grounds.
• In the same year,The following year, a special programme was organised to honour Mehra and he was presented the Gallantry Award by Nehru at Teen Murti Bhawan.

“Nehru had said that I needed no introduction, as he was himself an eyewitness to the whole account. He said it would be better if we could have more children of undoubted courage,” says the shuddering Mehra.

• Newspapers published Mehra’s profiles and interviews. A documentary film was made followed by an invitation to participate in the Republic Day parade held on January 26, 1959. A civilian boy was made to lead the parade for the first time. Five years later, due to economic crisis, Mehra had to quit studies. He took up a job as Lower Divisions Clerk in Union Public Service Commission.
• After few years he was transferred to the Controller of Publications with no incentive and promotion. He retired from there on February 27, 2004.Apart from the populace in close proximity to him, no one ever since remembered Mehra. Every year, Mehra sits with his three sons and four grandchildren to gaze at the Republic Day parade on TV. The award winning children surpass all the way through Rajpath, memoirs draw closer once again for Mr Mehra.
