Super Star Global Judges and your expectations.

A few comments that I received about Super Star Global Judges made me watch the show more closely and read more about what other say. Surprisingly, I have found that most of the responses were negative.

No one can deny that George Peter has the strength of experience, Gayathri has good knowledge of Music, Jyotsna is a good singer and Shaan is a promising musician.  Still,most of them are not able to accept them as judges for a show, as they say ” a show like this” . These are the words which made me think a little bit. ” A show like this ”

Yes, here is the fact. We expected a lot from such a show. Reason ? may be the huge popularity that Super Star  and Superstar Junior received, may be the high level of acceptance that Deepak Dev, Alphonese and Balabhasker received. ( I have seen a lot of people in the forums asking for them as judges again. )

Another point is that at there is a show for them to compare with, there is Idea Star Singer 2007 happening on Asianet, which is supposed to be the competitor (?) for Super Star Glbal.  They have big names on seat. MG, Sarath and Usha Uthupu.

Despite of the fact that they have the experience, and knowledge, they failed to show the maturity of the place and mission they are on.

Conclusion. Yes, there is the question of satisfaction of viewers about Judges. But they have the knowledge and caliber for leading the show. But for some reason, they are yet to figure out the way to present themselves.  But you have plenty of time. Lets hope that they will deliver what we expect them to.

Have you considered the fact that they are not from the stagnant past but from the promising present !!

Silence is beautiful

Silence is beautiful. ” Before you open your mouth to speak, please make sure it’s an improvement upon the silence.” I have read something similar when I was in college. I dont remember the exact wordings. However,  thanks to Joe I got it back from his website.

and some times….

Yesterday, I met my best friend after 5 years. It was an unforgettable moment of my life. We used to talk a lot over the phone. But most of the time we spent together, both of us remained silent

We were simply sitting near the church.. silence was whispering something in our ears. Silence is beautiful, when its meaningful than thousand words. When it can express something no language can.

silence speaks and its beautiful.

Judges - Super Star Global

Super Star Global is on air. There was a lot of speculation going on about judges. Anyways, it was surprising for me to see that they haven’t got any “big” guys around. But I feel they are talented guys so thats not an issue.

We have George Peter, Shaan, and Jyotsna as judges. George Peter has the experience of working with A.R Rehaman and he was the judge for Super Star Junior. Shaan was the music director of Dileep’s Don and Jyotsna is a well established singer of the Young Malayalam Cinema.

Now, on to Judging the Judges. Continue reading →

Last Leaf

Thanks to this site I remembered one of my favorite stories today. Last Leaf Now I have found a site named after my favorite story and another site named after my favorite poem.

Last Leaf and O.Henry are my personal favorites. The O.Henry twist !!! is there someone else who can write like that ? I don’t think so. That was my first attraction. Then I started admiring the sincere way of narration.

Purified sentences, without no extra dose of spice ( its tasty enough though ). Thats  technical skill of a writer, be able to convey things in the most simple and beautiful way.

Miles to Go before I sleep is something made me think a lot. Its something inflenced the way I think. Its something touched me so deep.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

I went on reading these lines again and again.  There is nothing much I can write about it. Its something I love, I feel and I live….

Dreams with a % sign

I love dreaming and specialize in day dreams. I remember a friend of mine calling me a day dreamer and I posted it here.

I love day dreams a lot. I can write script,act,shoot and direct it..

So, whats happening with my dreams ? I have used a lot of dreams to make my life what it is now. So life is a dream come true. Not a dream, its a lot of dreams coming true.

Now the serious part. Living your dreams is tough. When you want your life to change in to the way you dream. We have less control on few things and we have have full control on a few others. So its all about degree. When I found myself sad when a few dreams got shattered… I thought about putting a % sign next to my dreams.

Considering a lot of the controls and chances I have… I am trying to put a % sign, percentage of it being true. Percentage of chances. Do you think its possible ? I am still trying.. and would love to hear from you.
