Hi,
It was only days back when i had no idea whatsoever about how the final day of Glam Hunt 08 would be.We were busy in tight schedules.Gyming in the morning in Gold's Gym, practising walk in the ramp and ending it with vigorous dance practise made up the whole day.Ball room in a hotel called Floatel, named because of its placing on the sides of Ganges, was booked.The food, the strict diet food, reached us regularly from Indthalia and we didn't have much alternatives.
Miss Shonal Rawat worked very dedicately in the pursuit of a presentable show on the final day of Glam Hunt 08 in Oberoi Grand, which was sheduled to be on 27th of September 08.
The dance teacher from Padatik showed immense patience in grooming some stiff metal bodies into flexible dancers while girls showed their talent in dancing from day 1.The 'bhaiya' from Padatik had no other options but to walk away annoyed two days prior to the final only murmuring to himself "Ein log ka kharap hoga to Padatik kuchh nahi janta!"(If these guys f*ck it up, it's definately not Padatik to be blamed!)
Eve of Final day morning, 10 contestants met and gave in much of their capabilities to put up the greatest Dance dry run.I personaly couldn't wait to show the 'bhaiya' from Padatik how much have we have improved ourself for the final show.The whole day went dancing and walking.Mistakes occured like never before only to prove the fact that we were tensed! After day long practise it was time for teacher from Padatik to come.But some one else turned up.And he was a there to point out detailed errors that we showed while dancing.How could we possibly train ourselves to dance better when we knew we couldn't? We actually didn't.The new teacher did.We 10 were exhausted.But went through all that anyhow.I finally told myself "I dont want to win,i only want to do the needful!"
Final day wasn't much of a trouble. I was exceptionaly relaxed because all I had in mind was that i will by no means forget the choreography and hence will do justice to the entire grooming and practise days and to the hardship of my mentors.I gave satisfactory dry runs.Evening came up with make-up on faces and garments hanging on racks.All we had to do was wear and go!Then come back again,change and go!
Soon, it was time for us to line up and Mir (anchoring the show for the evening) started declaring the titles.I kept myself cool.Sub-titles went to my friends like Pratap,Afsar,Shubhomohan,Srija.I was happy for them.It was time for me to look at my family sitting somewhere in the hall, only to make them realise that they have seen a good performance from my end and thats it!No more expectations entertained.I smiled.They smiled back.Then it happened!I heard my name announced by Mir as the Glam King.It wasn't expected. Couldn't help but get shocked.I controlled my emotions to look calm and so i did.Rosa soon followed the walk to front as the Glam Queen.Honoury Judges came to us congratualting.
After photoshoots and interviews I still couldn't register what just happened!Only thing that kept coming to my mind and coming still now is a beautiful phrase about life.This phrase is as beautiful as the success.I would like to share with my reader.Here it goes,
"Life is like a handful of sand.And these moments of life are like sparkles we see in it.We can not keep it with ourselves for ever.So move on!"
