I was an excellent singer until some people gave me life threatening……I knew I could have become more than any MJ or Elvis, had my world been without some savage friends who always hated the artist in me……..There is a famous saying "Beyond talent lie the usual words : discipline, love and luck but, most of all endurance "........ I always knew I never had discipline, love and luck to back me but I was always confident of my singing abilities……Well…..The annual day of my college was suppose to come and pupil were seriously practicing to show their talents in front of the judges to get their due…….So I had to consult my group of intellectuals as the vocalist in me persuaded me to go through the test but without discipline, love, luck ……Perhaps because I always knew that I am a skilled professional singer but whether or not I've any talent is beside the point…...There was a long debate on which song to sing to score maximum in such a important competition……I just couldn’t choose “Hit me baby, one more time! “ as there was a serious threat of getting hit by rotten tomatoes and eggs…….So the group voted for “ Gulgulla “ song in Oriya language as there were less chances of getting into any controversy after singing it on a stage at Delhi……. But then there is a famous saying “ No competition is over without manipulating with the results “……….I was on the stage after one hour of make up to sing “ Gulgulla “ as soon as my friend announced “ we are today honored to have a famous singer from Orissa who has said yes to us despite of his busy schedule “……..The song was a instant hit although nobody understood the meaning of it and got time to throw rotten tomatoes and eggs out of confusion…….And the competition was over as the result was manipulated in my favor……. I got the trophy but I had to sell it in Rs 500 as there was a serious demand from my friends to give them a party at the end of the day………
A person can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three times before lying down………
