I have to raise 3 serious questions about additions at this time and I want everyone to be fair in their thinking (No biases):
1. Don't you feel it will be unfair to the people eliminated if we add someone now - they could say, well, they did not get to compete with this new person.
2. Don't you feel it is wrong to change the rules of the game in the middle of the game and add someone now.
3. If it is true that the mentors truly did not get to pick their contestants (I did'nt as I was out all that week - Bhaskar and Anol are witnesses) then would it fair play to adopt that practice now?
I understand that emotions are riding high and reasoning is out of the door but I feel I have to be fair to the existing survivors and raise these 3 questions in their defense. I urge all of you to think hard, and not with your heart, when you address this. I sure have. We have all had our fun moments here but this one is a serious one to evaluate and consider.
Remember, there will be another contest after this, as indicated by Bhaskar, so there will be a chance for more singers to participate.
To the folks in my Gharana: Congratualtions !! Keep up the good work. You have all made me proud !!
