Vishal - MY EXPERIENCE
Hmm.. Well, Day-1, Day-2 of the auditions over. I'm sitting at my home listening to the great R.D Burman's Songs and ofcourse, surfing the internet.

I'd not disclose the exact procedure of the auditions i.e what happens there coz I feel that would spoil all the fun. Infact, if you are spontaneous and get to know what-to-do @ the spur of the moment, you'll do much better

Ok, Day-1

I'd already registered online, so just took a print out of my form, 2 photos (1 close-up & 1 full-length) and a photocopy of my Driving License (Photo-ID Proof). Reached the venue i.e Punjab kala Bhawan, chandigarh @ about 9.20 am. I guess. Queue outside the gate, not a long one, though. Bouncers thoosing paranthas, with HULK-like-expressions, LOL..
HOOHAAHEE oooo.. Sounds coming from Inside the gate, Hoezay, the male nurse of the mad house having fun with the early birdies , you know what I mean

and, remember not to carry your bags along with you @ the venue. They dont allow bags inside.

okay.. so after half an hour my turn comes, enter the venue and you are given your registration err. patient no. you are then sneaked into the auditorium where all the contestants are seated.

During this time, a Presenter keeps you busy with various acts and interactive activities. When your turn comes, you'll be called for the auditions. Hoezay also came to the auditorium for 15-20 minutes and did his (un)usual funny stuff :)

My turn comes, I go for the audition, and as soon as I come out, I am told to GET LOST from the venue scene

Okay, So Day-1 OVER

Ah,, and yes.. Saw Nisha from Roadies 7 there.

I return home, switch on the TV/Internet/laptop and catch hold of an apple

at 8 pm, receive a call .. I am shortlisted for the next round. YEAH! Tell some of my friends, they dont take me seriously .. Tell me.,. arre kyo mazak kar raha hai, kabhi to serious bat kiya kar,. They never take me seriously what genuine holes

Day-2

reach 9.30 at the same venue.. PKB, Chd.. Setup takes a little time to start. Crew arranges for a Parantha-Breakfast for the 20 shortlisted contestants..
and Chai .. then all the shortlisted contestants are told to sit in a Waiting Room (the same as in Roadies day-2 auditions) till their turn comes.
my turn was second last. SO it was a long long wait.. .. Meanwhile .. the crew arranges for LUNCh.. about 4.30, I guess. 2 MC-aloo from MC Donald's for each contestant.
Have one from my share.

Oh .. forgot to mention about the contestants.. every contestant was unique in his/her own way.There were RJ's, theatre actors, Presentors, a research medico, Wannabe Models, there was Ranjna Rawat from Roadies7 .
When she was asked about the result and stuff like that.. She said she couldnt afford to pay 10 lakhs in compensation to the channel as it was forbidden to divulge details of the show in her contract.
Not as Dumb as she projects herself to be.. hmm

Okay, so my turn comes a little late in the evening. audition lasts about 20-30 minutes, I guess..
When I'm about to leave, I ask one of the crew about the results.. She says we'll be calling the shortlisted contestants after auditions from all the cities are over.. I suggest her to call the not-shortlisted contestants,too
so that they dont keep waiting for a call to come She laughs and says no need to wait.. we'll call the ones who are shortlisted. I thank her and GEt out from the room.

auditions done, it is about to get dark, i leave the venue. waving goodbye to the newly made Friends (the contestants and some from the CREW) I promise a grand party to one of the crew members @ Maurya Sheraton, if I get selected.. He gives me a (haan haan dekh lenge) look .. and laughs.. on the way back, some armed police officers stop me .. and ask me where the hell did you get those shoes from..
I tell them the showroom's address :) and take their leave.

Cheers !!!

Love and Relationship

Throughout history the only people successful are those who have believed in themselves. No matter what is being said about them, or what might be said, be it defeat or humiliation, they believed in themselves. Quite honestly, if we dont believe in ourselves, who else will? Self belief is a funny thing. It can lead you to success but if not handled with care it can change to over confidence. Many spend a life time finding that thin life between self belief and over confidence while there are others who have mastered the art of self belief and turned it into milestones. Those are the persons whom we read about when we are in search of inspiration. They inspire us not just because they did it but we understand that same belief lies somewhere in us and hope that some day we will unravel its secrets and find oursleves achieving our targets. I am one of the millions who hope that one day I will achieve what I aim for. I am sure at least one of you reading this will understand me when I say that all I have left is self belief and that it is the first step to conquering this world. After all what is this world? People with self belief trying to achieve or or surpass what people with enough self belief have already done.

De-graft, from now on

the paper is your only friend,

you no nothing else,

but the paper,

your eyes must be sealed

to reduce foolishness

Forget, just rewind everything,

turn it white, blank,

you don't need voices to confuse you,

it's getting even worse,

you were indecisive to this extent,

but it's increasing everyday

now you even getting more worthless

All your ghanaian friends will be disappointed

when they find out the one

most of them looked up to

just doesn't know himself

Too many mistakes, my boy,

too many mistakes,

just burn everything in the fire

De-graft, just start again,

don't look back,

your father is already disappointed,

your mother has a little hope,

and again you're by yourself

All again...the mind trails in confusion,

with endless imagination,

you've wasted the first eigthteen years

of your life

remember, you're by yourself,

you absorb people's perception too much,

first, you don't accept correction,

okay, that's wrong,

but now, you have to be audically ignorant,

extremely audically ignorant,

to decrease the confusion

The paper,

the only friend that gives me

the chance to start all over again,

the frustration is just too much,

you are a disappointment to your parents,

father, especially

Start again,

right now forget,

erase the past,

write a new story

of yourself.
