Saturday...I was reluctant to go out even for dinner. In fact, I was busy watching back to back and overlapping episodes of Indian Idol, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, MTV--On the Job and The Great Indian Laughter Challenge and was awestruck with the response each of these shows received. After all they provide both fame and money.
The awareness for talent search in the entertainment sector has suddenly risen to a new scale and the opportunities are flourishing. Where MTV -- on the job awards internships for the future RJs, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa provides a platform for the next-gen playback singers. When we blame the media for their news-mastication, the same media has produced numerous employments for journalists, cameramen, hosts etc. A decade back we wouldn't have even in our dream expected the jocular vein getting this amount of publicity. Laughter Challenge has set the acclivity for the comedians.
No wonder there is an exaggeration in everything. With a layman getting a chance to be a crorepati in an hour, we are being pulled away from the reality. Are we tempted towards this easy money? Is this easy money really easy? When millions apply for the Indian Idol only one achieves it. When millions call SRK, only a few get more than a million. What we see is very much the superficial layer where the funniest Raju Srivastava entertains the crowd. But can we see for how many years was he struggling to get such a platform. Yes, nothing is easy but atleast today, we can think of achieving it, which was considered as impossible a decade back.....we need to very much stay on ground though.
The IT sector is booming, the fashion arena is crawling, small-scale industry is protruding its head. There are equal chances in every field. With great diligence and perseverance, not only in the entertainment world but also elsewhere, we can definitely find new careers, new roads to success. A better life is waiting for the new generation.
