Experience
At Bengalooru auditions
I reached at the venue at sharp 11:00 o’clock. As they asked me to reach there by sharp 11:00. There were people including “Teena” from community who were standing there since 7:30 am without any food and rest. Still they took me in front queue and I was among first 12 girls. We entered the auditorium at 1:00 pm, still standing in the queue. I guess “Kolkata” auditions were much more fun than Bangalore’s, one reason might be there was no-one from MTV has reached the location. They have reached auditorium only after 4:00 pm. After a lot of waiting we went inside the auditorium and seated ourselves. We were seated inside the auditorium at 2:00 pm. Good that they were calling by the registration number unlike rock-on were people were called randomnly and loads of people who came after me went early just because they were seated in the front seat. This time I made sure that I should sit in the front row, but unlucky me, this time like the last time, didn’t get any merchandize as the things that thay were throwing were heavy and they were not reaching the front row, in Rock-on the merchandize were light . Awesome!
While we were seated we played loads of games: “Tug of war” (saare bangalore mein jinke bhi baal girte hain unko mila ke ek rassi banayi thi, it was horrible), “Kissing game”(where people had to kiss a photo on the person’s lips, the craziest would win. There was a girl name Sanju, I think she was good, but as she was actually exposing a lot people were not considering her talent at all. Poor girl (P.S: Less Clothes doesn’t make her poor ), “Dancing game”(Offcourse people have to dance and best dancer would win). “Balancing game” (I was part of it, I was Basanti. It was terrible don’t ask me what I did in that. I myself don’t know )...
“Crazy walk game” (Good one, couldn’t become part of it as they were selecting people [) and many more. All of them were arranged by “Fountain head” marketing team. I get to talk to the fountain head team. They were good people out there. Nice arrangement to keep people busy .
I entered the GD room at 4:45 pm with 14 other people, after they called my registration number. Previously it was machhi market, later on our judge “Akshay” controlled it and said everybody will get a chance to speak. I guess our GD was for 45 minutes. Eveyone got a chance to speak []. I was not getting thought flow and talking in Hindi that too 90% words were making me sad, as I am getting better in English and bad in Hindi . So, Anyway as you guys know my topic was “Kya house-wife ek roadie ban shakti hai?” Everyone was talking in favour and only 3 people talked against it. I was in favour of the topic. I was the last one to speak. I was noting down the points which I was feeling according to me was wrong. I think they didn’t like that idea . Don’t know what went wrong. My points were not repetitive and even I corrected people on that. As you know it was a Group discussion were people object or agree to the group. But The judge didn’t let me speak and already my battery was down. He said close ur book aur “Apne baare mein kuch batao”. I said I am friendly, mix well and my basic qualifications. He nodded on those things. Then he asked why Roadies and about survival. As I already said I had no thought flow in my mind. I think I couldn’t explain that in proper way. About the topic, I feel I did well but about the question I didn’t.
Anyway my family specially my hubby is very happy that I didn’t get selected and that’s the reason of my least thought flow. As he permitted me and this was actually “my first and last chance” to take part. None of my family members had given permission except him. Even if I was succeeded in becoming a Roadie.
That was like “dead end” for me, I wouldn’t be able to pursue career in entertainment industry. As my hubby is not in favor of it. So, my main intention was to go to the venue and to enjoy, but my bad luck. I couldn’t enjoy that also . So quite disappointed myself . Although I still feel that I gave new points and my GD answer was not repetitive. Well, but I didn’t do well in other part of it. I agree with that.
Anyway, Today I am feeling good and would like to answer why Roadies? For fun and for Raghu (I am greatest admirer of his work and of his respect towards a woman. He is the only one who gave me courage to fight anything and everything in life). Just because of this Roadies craze, I am different from others, I can feel that and Also, I have realized that “I am someone who is extraordinary when it comes to 1-on-1 and I am scared when it comes to talk in a group” . Hard luck is not the word for me, as I was bad I know that .
P.S: A secret, I wanted to go against the topic . Because I myself feel that House-wife cannot become a Roadie, not because she has skill problem. Because no one would let her to. Her family and in-law’s family would never allow. And if they allow, then she is a normal human being and she can do everything which everyone else of her age can do. But, she will never get that permission. That I am sure of. Working wife has some chance, but she doesn’t have a chance also.
The crowd was so dull at Bengalooru after GD. We waited for Results from 5:30 to 9:00. Got the results at 9:00 pm.
