Saw the raw youthful talent that India had been brewing in the green room but was showcased in the T20 cricket series. I liked the fact that we no longer are confined to not being demonstrative when we are mad or feel crazy or wrecked. Yeah rite cricket was gentlemen’s game, but we have changed the norms. Dhoni has locks longer than anybody ever had in Indian cricket; Yuvraj yells & screams as he likes but what matters the most is they play to win, they play to rule. They may not be able to recreate the same mania again or may do better than what they just did, point here is they made India realize that we can dream to be the winners! Lets hope our boys Inshallah keep winning & recreating the same fervor in future!!
Again, getting back to the youth, Indian Idol found quite some talented faces too. All the participants were in the 17-24 age group. They certainly made me feel old. They all represented smaller towns and came from middle class families with no filmy backgrounds at all. What surprised me was at 18 they knew what they wanted from life; boy I wish I was that mature when I was 18! The best thing about these reality shows is that they have found winners among common people. No longer you have to belong to Bombay to make it big in Bollywod or know the big shot people. Today, if you are talented, yes you can make it big.
This is real India, where talent is rewarded, recognized & valued. Yes these are the changing times where being middle class is fashionable, where your kid no more has to be an engineer or doctor, where life seems a lot more promising than it ever was!
