Appaji has said "I think that an imbalance has been created here. So mentors and co-ordinators please suggest what could be done about it". I have said that the current contestants should not be shifted around to correct the balance and Appaji has "kindly" seconded this. So my further suggestions after "serious" thinking are:
1)to extend the contest deadline to May 28
2)more contestants be allowed to participate. If two more contestants can be found, they can go to Appaji's gharana.
3)If there are more than two who are interested, the remaining ones can be distributed among other gharanas.
This might rectify the imbalance.
Well I really don't agree here.
1. Extending the deadline will not help me at all. My contestants are gone.
2. You have suggested that "If two more contestants can be found, they can go to Appaji's gharana". But the contestants will have to match the potential of the contestants that I have lost. Or else why should I settle for anyone else. If the next interested person comes to my gharana, does that rectify the imbalance and the loss of singers like UMMM and Sunitha. NO.
So, why don't you and Sunil ji take each my contestants in your gharanas and cut me loose.
I will be the judge or may be the neutral mentor supporting both the gharana's.
