Dance india dance--little masters

This is one good program that i have been watching since two months...from the top of it, it looks like any other reality show...bunch of kids who can dance, some teachers who teach them, couple of judges who evaluate them and then a million viewers who watch it..stupidity, right? Well, that was what i thought about this, but then once i started watching, it turned out to be something else...

First of all, i love that the kids at that age know what they want in life...These kids are no ordinary kids, for they do wonders, but to be able to have a goal, a vision that they want to become dancers/choreographers is amazing...esp. when a lot of the folks just want to become doctors/engineers...I remember when i was 7, i had no idea where i want to be...i was so confused and i only wish i had this clarity...

Secondly, it is amazing and uplifting to see that these kids are not those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth...they are not ones whose parents are super rich and have the ability to send them to dance schools...in fact they all come from middle class or lower middle class and despite that, they are super talented and hard working...I see one kid called manoj, who doesn;t even have a TV in his place..His parents go and work as construction laborers, still he has come into the top 4...hats off for their endurance, confidence and hard work...Kids like this serve as an inspiration to me and probably millions more to not complain about life but instead accept it as a fun ride...BTW, did i mention that they had to stand for hours to even get an audition glimpse, let alone forget entering the show...

No matter how much people complain about the ills of cable tv, one great thing has been the platform it has become many such actors, dancers, singers and provide a venue for many aspiring people to showcase their talent...I only wish that people will be able to level headedly take their success and scale even higher...

Omsairam!
