When did Nihira begin participating in

various music contests?

I found this old post while searching on this forum....

[quote]Hi Nihira,

I have never commented on this forum earlier thoough I am watching your performances from the days you came in sony tv's Hamse Badhkar Gong, Aadab arz Hai, EL tv's Yamkins mast mast show, saregama, Sab TVs Aao Jhoomein Gayein and many more and finally in C05! Your journey is seen by me so closely and am sure a day will come you will rule this music world!!! All my best wishes to you for your future musical journey ! [/quote]

Does anyone know which contests did she participate before SRGMP2005?
