Entry 1

anokha mod hai yeh jeevan mein
bhavnaaon ka bhanwar hai mere mann mein
badalne waali hai duniya meri
pal mein hai darr, pal mein khushi
aane waale kal ki hai prateeksha
par samay ko rokne ki bhi hai ichchha
kal kya hoga, soch ke dil ghabraaye
kahin aaj ke apne na ho jaayen paraaye
par kal ki chinta karenge kal
warna kho jaayenge aaj ke pal

Entry 2

As the Days Passed

On the first day, everyone showered care

They made me believe I could overcome my despair

They said life is full of hurdles that you have to learn to cross

It's all about standing up and facing your loss

On the second day, they told me I wasn't alone

I felt a bit of concern in their tone

They told me that they will be at my side

It was time to accept my problems and not hide

On the third day, turning to God seemed right

He is the Almighty; He'll show me the light

To Him, I cried my heart out

He would fix my problems I had no doubt

On the fourth day, the truth hit a bit too late

I realized that all this WAS part of my fate

Tears strolled down my eyes as realization struck

I told myself that this was all the cause of my bad luck

On the fifth day, I needed someone to lend me a hand

But when I reached out all I found was vast land

I panicked because not a soul was in sight

Falling to the ground, I realized that this was alone my fight

On the sixth day, my eyes went numb as the tears dried

As I lived on I felt a part of me had died

Neither comfort nor rage came

As I understood that only fate was to be blamed

As the days passed one by one

I felt as though I had lost and fate had won

To compete with destiny is not my goal

But rather to accept it in my heart and grieve for it in my soul

Entry 3

The Play of Destiny.

The story starts with this family who live in a very remote part of of Bihar, India. They are very poor, and live in a small shed house. The father(Summer) tries hard to earn money so he can feed the family. But because he has a limping leg, no one gives him any work. So sometimes, the family has to feed themselves by either begging or sleep without eating anything. ROA, their oldest daughter tries her best to feed the family as well, she goes around the village and does odd jobs. But ROA is already married, when she was young, to a King. But until now she lived with her parents as they were waiting for her to mature before they send ROA to her sasuraal. And now that she has matured the family is worried how they will manage to do her Gauna(farewell/bidaai to her husband's place) since they don't have any money.

Now you must be thinking how come ROA got married to a king if they were poor😕. Well the raaz is that her family used to be very rich at one point. But when she was around 18, her father Summer was facing some financial problems. So he invested his entire money into the stocks market, through a young broker named Cloddy. Now this Cloddy guy was very cunning, he just made profits of every single person he met in his life, including his friends. If he ever bought anything for his friends, he used to double rip them the next time they bought something for him😆. So you see, what kind of a cheap guy he was.😛

So yea he took all this money from Summer, and invested it in stocks. But the stock market suddenly crashed and all of Summer's money went down the drain, and they were forced to move to their ancestral village in Bihar. 😭

And bechare King ji had no idea about ROA and her familys condition, as according to the old traditions, the husband is not suppose to know about his bride or her family condition before the girls bidaai. 🤔

Summer tries to arrange the money for ROA's Bidaai by stealing someone's cows in the village, but he is caught and sent to jail😒, and in order to get him out they need to give 10,000 rupees. And more problems arises for the family when Gur (ROA's brother falls sick). Varsha(ROA's Mother) has no options left, she is facing troubles from all sides. She then does what many other poos do to their daughters, she decides to sell her daughter ROA. A man in an another village buys her, but ROA was a smart girl, before she could go with that man, she runs away from home, and takes shrine in a temple.

And back at home Varsha jee cries at her destiny, her husband is in jail and her son is sick and on top of that her daugter has run away from home😭, through which she planned to get some money. Varsha then decides that this is enough and that god will have to listen to her today😡! She goes to a temple and prays and prays, bangs her head against the temple walls😭. Rings all the bells in the mandir😭. And then then there is a thunderstorm all of a sudden, and it starts raining. Varsha jee is sure that this a good sign, she runs back home, and she is surprised!😲

Her husband Summer and the stock broker Clodpolish whom they last met years ago is waiting for her at home. Clodpolish falls down at her feet, and asks for forgiveness. He tells her that he had cheated them years back, and that all thier money was safe. Clodpolish feels sorry for his actions, and tells them that his inner consciousness always troubled him, and that's why he had to come back to give the money. Summer and Varsha jee forgive Clodpolish and now they get onto their mission to find ROA, who has run from home.

Clodpolish goes South, Varsha North, Summer East but no one went west, ahh there must be a ocean there😛😆. And then they finally manage to find ROA at a temple. Her parents tell her the entire story and she happily forgives them. And they all hug. I mean not alll, clodpolish cant's hug ROA, she is already married😔!

They then leave for home, parents are ahead and clodpolish and ROA were walking behind and then all of a sudden there was a thunderstorm. ROA get's scared and quickly goes into Clodpolish's arms. Cloddy and her then stare at each others eyes, and in the background tujhe dekh dekh sona, tujhe dekh dekh hai jagna, maine yeh zindgani, sang tere bitaani, tujhme bassi hai meri jaan hai jiya dhadak dhadak jaye, jiya dhadak dhadak jaye.... starts playing. It was love at first sight for ROA, and for Clodpolish it was dream come true. An the rest is history...😉

Par aap socho ge ki King Jee ka kya kua, well let's just say woh ek puraani kahani thi. Bachpan mein aisi chhoti chhoti baatein hoti rehti hai, aur yeh ROA ka aaj tha😃.

Entry 5

I can see God in you, the only entity

Yes, I am your worshipper

You're the limit of generosity

I don't deserve it

But was lucky enough to get to encounter it.

I don't have any fear of losing humanity

As long as you're there

I don't care what others have to say about it

As long as I'm sure you'll stand by me, no matter what.

You questioned nothing

You asked for nothing

What you gave was from your heart

You said nothing

You never judged me

Smiling, you gave what you gave

You're known to me, yet a stranger

You are so special, one of a kind,

I could look forever and never find,

Anyone else as wonderful as you,

Though I've hurt you and I feel so bad

For saying things that made you so sad

You can understand this nascent heart

For only clouds can understand the mountains

Only birds can understand the wings

And only water can understand the wet

So if you can forgive this friend

You'll never see that part of me again

You're someone who's always true to me

Whether near or far apart,

Someone whose love and care I'll always

Hold and treasure in my heart

If you're the ocean, I'm a drop of water

If you're the pleasant land, I'm a grain of sand

This nascent heart was too late in realizing that

The divine entity was in front of it.

Because the goodness was so far-fetched

It gingerly kept repeating only one thing, "Is it true?"

Kept confusing the little confused soul

Until the day everything got as clear as crystal

No more doubt, I'm no more skeptical

I can see God in you

Yes, it is true

Now that I know the real you.

and post this song as well. It goes with the poem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB5GJnI8NDE

Entry 6

A tryst with Wonderland ....

Rhea was ready to head out ...another day of searching for that perfect story ....and where would she find that story for her next column in "Panache" ????.....wherever she goes ..that same old news on corruption in politics ..terrorism..recession ..or else interview those bollywood celebrities who are mostly clueless yet you have to make them look smart !!!!!!!!!!!!!....

No point dwelling on what ifs ...she loves being a journalist .. she took her camera , her laptop and headed outside ...she had this wierd sensation while accelerating her SUV that today she would encounter a miracle ... would at last get that unique story she had been craving for ....she was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice this fog which suddenly engulfed her ... before she could brake in time she found the fog has cleared and in front of her stood a beautiful stretch of land!!!!!!! .....she was enchanted by the beauty of the place ...birds chirping ...koels singing ..angels flying ....she noticed a huge board written ..

"welcome to SARGAM... the wonderland of dreamers ".......Rhea quickly took her laptop and camera out , parked her car near a lake and got out .....

She noticed a reastaurant ...wait a minute!! ..that's a Dhaba!!! ... the girl who was running it, was very cordial...she welcomed her with open arms ....Rhea learnt that every morning delicious spicy biryani , kaali daal and hot khichdi are cooked here ...and a teenager boy has a duty to come to the dhaba every morning and distribute those cooked food to all the members in the community ....she also discovered that this small town with it's fifty something odd people never seen any climate other than Summer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....but it's never scorching hot ..it's always cool summer .....and the breeze has a calming effect on the community ........

Everywhere lilting sound of music echoed .....she met a girl who is a seasoned prankster but her pranks always charmed the people and passer bys .....a shehzaadi who always sings her idol's songs and a boy who worships Rafi saab but has taken a self imposed exile at the moment ....a koel who sings all the time ...sometimes she has to migrate to other places as she is required elsewhere but can't stay away from this beautiful place called SARGAM .....................

Rhea was strolling down the town and noticed a hospital ...but no... this is not an ordinary hospital ..the surgeon in this hospital actually operates human mind ...mind that has music written all over ...any nonmusical person will be escorted away ..... He also happens to be one of the caretakers of the community ....the community that has been an envy of neighboring towns for quite sometime ....

A lovely Angel introduced herself to Rhea and took her to meet two other caretakers ....while interviewing the caretakers she learnt that all three of them are friends of the people of SARGAM ....and they were elected by the people ....apart from surgeonji the other caretaker is an avid fan of tele serials with saas bahu saga ..his motto in life is "jeeo Zee bhadke".....she then met the Big Boss ...a very friendly caretaker who told Rhea that he does give friendly warning so that neighboring communities don't complain that SARGAM is having an easy way out ....Rhea understood ..to keep a community happy, funfilled , musical thus keeping it's essence intact one has to maintain certain decorum......good job Big boss ji ......

she then heard beautiful sound of ghazals coming from a nearby house ...she saw a man singing ghazals and then creating impromptu shayaris ...thus entertaining the girls who are mostly his sisters ..but he looked tired ...Rhea learnt that he has not been keeping well and that's why clouds occasionally cover the bright summer sky these days..........

She met so many wonderful, beautiful people who shared their stories of discovering this place called SARGAM ...... no matter where they went a "magnetic force" always brought them back!!!..they come here to laugh..to chill... even to fight....no matter what they do they always feel at home ....she met this lovely gracious lady who is everybody's Di ....who has excellent taste in music ... Rhea also encountered two girls who are cute and innocent but very lively ..and a guy who calls himself a dog but actually a very polite and nice human being having great taste in music......

Wait a minute ....this place has a King too !!!!...no..not ordinary King but a musical King ....recently one King went in exile as he found his perfect queen and wanted to stay far from the madding crowd for the time being ....but his place has been taken by another King who was in exile but has now returned .......cool...this place is more like a game of musical chair ...Rhea was amused by the thought ...

She noticed a lot of preparations going on in the town ...lot of "cleaning" " cooking" ...she learnt that a huge musical concert of little kids will take place soon ....it's called Lala Palooza ....every year kids from all over the country participate and it attracts audience from all over the world ....the dhaba becomes more active ...lots of cooking with hot spices....and lots of fireworks !!!!!!!.......

she looked at her watch ...ohh noo..she has to go back and send this article tonight for tomorrow's column !!!!...Rhea jumped into her car bidding adieu to this wonderland and started to head home ...again she encountered the fog....... brake ...screechhhhhh.... everything shook.........

"Rhea ..Rhea ..wake up ....didn't u say u have that 8 o' clock meeting to attend ????".... Rhea slowly opens her eyes ..sees her mom leaning towards her ...she smiles ....no, she is not frowning today thinking of her boring meeting.....today she tasted a bit of heaven on earth ....even if it was just a dream ........

The end ...

Anu reserved in advance, so here is entry 7 and 8 together - i know it looks a bit messy now..but never mind

Entry 7

dialogue between Gur and his would be father-in-law where they both are trying to fix the wedding time and venue😆

Gur (melodramatic) - kya ye sab zaroori hai ?
Father-in-law - kya jo tum kar rahe ho zaroori hai ?

Gur (thinks for long , then) -haan
Father- draamebaaz, mujhe to tu pehle se hi pasand nahin tha

Gur - (his facial expressions change, a look of anger, all cameras focus on him)
Ye aap kya keh rahe ho....papa.......Ye sunne se pehle main mar kyon nahin gaya (background sound - thak thak thak )
Father - tujhe milne se pehle main kyon nahin mar gaya ?tujhmein meri beti ne aisa kya dekh liya ?

Gur (shocked) - papa , aap ko kya ho gaya hai, aap mere aur uske beech mein mat aao, hum dono ke beech koi nahin aa sakta, koi nahin
Father - chal bak bak band kar beta, bata kis samay wedding karni hai ? aur kahaan ?

Gur - i think we can do the wedding quickly ,in the ten minutes ,when the commercial break comes while the show "kyonki cloddy bhi kabhi ashoka tha " comes
Father - fir shuru ho gaya !😡 teri inhi harkaton ki wajah se teri teen baar pehle hi wedding hote hote reh gayi. Abe bete, tu bhi to itni weddings dekhta hai tv mein, koi das minute ke andar poori hoti hai ?

Gur -(thinking with a funny expression , background tone - james bond) -yup, ye baat aapne sahi ki, ok i'll follow whatever you have to say
Father -(relieved) ok then , come on........

And the wedding went of without any hassles ! And everyone lived vampily ever after 👏

Entry 8

The besura clan- the story of it's evolution:

Part 1 - a mission gone wrong:
Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there lived a man. A man called anu malik. He was on a mission. A musical mission. Anu malik's aim was to find a clan of the greatest singers alive. He gathered his armed forces of 3 brave men : Javed akhtar, Sonu nigaam and Udit narayan to assist him on this noble quest to find the ideal performers who would change the world of music forever. And eventually, they did. But in a very different way. Anu gathered his men ,started snapping his fingers and said "yaaa,i want a f-ff-faabb-ulous bunch of si-si-singers.. i want it done! I-i-i-i'm anu malik! It will be done!!"

Part 2 -Sabotage :
Till now they had gathered 2 good singers - namely abhijeet sawant and sandeep acharya (udit ji chose him personally).
But evil was being planned. By a person so evil even its own mother would cry - it was the king of doom
King Votingsy Stem.. He kidnapped udit ji ,abhijeet,sandeep and sonu nigaam and fed them to the flying blood monkeys. Rahul, meenal and prajakta tried to help but they too were killed...Only javed survived.. king votingsy stem let him go because he had gone senile anyway.
He sent in two agents of eeevil - kailash kher, master of dissappearance and sonali bendre, mistress of female chauvanism.. he had installed an audiotape in her throat which said - "I think a girl will be the winner this time".. The 2agents of evil fooled anu into thinking
He also put a love potion on anu malik...
But his real work wwas about to begin. He put besura juice into the water of the cities and many indians drank from it... Those who were most affected by it were taken by him and made beautiful/handome.. he gave them dancng lessons..everything but singing lessons.

Part 3 -TNA - talent not available, but who cares? they're f-f-irecrackers!:
The besura's were sent in the auditions.. of course the beautiful ones who were besura got selected by the love potion affected anu malik.. 90% of besura girls were taken in by sonali.
However, there WERE beautiful ppl who could still sing!!
The king had planned for this, though. He had put in the besura potion especially in places like nepal,nagaland where udit ji had trained his students.. all good singers became besura's and now had the vote bank as well.. AND the king also poisoned the minds of the junta and made them like horrible singing. His plan could NEVER go wrong!

The only threat was javed's sudden burts of sensibility, but that was rare. Kailash disappeared, so it was mainly anu and sonali, and both did damage..
In the end, a besura won... this besura mated and produced MORE AND MORE AND MORE besura's.. the sureela ppl and other normal ppl too were killed.. it was only the besura's who existed..

AND THUS, THE BESURA CLAN WAS BORN!!

it was headed by quazi taukeer, prashant tamang,ankita mishra and torsha sarkar.

My comments"

ROA: Kuri, there have been many games and competitions so far and when you started this one I thought okay this is another one. It didnt sunk into me but this morning when you posted the entries and the voting system, it suddenly felt so much important. I am totally loving this and this was a wondeful idea and thanks to you for coming up with the concept, for organizing it, for promoting this, for all your effort, and for the passion with which you do everything. I mean hats off to you dear.

👏

S3: Thanks to you also for all your effort and guiding Kuri in this and I am sure it is for this reason this competition stands apart. Thanks for all this S3

👏

KAL: Well I apologize for not sending my entry. I would have loved to see my entry too besides such great stuff but its okay. I will go through each and vote a little later.
