Intruder creates havoc on IF SRGMP!
August 25, 2006

Nothing ever sits still on IF SRGMP. The latest emanating from there are accounts of an unknown, masked intruder breaking in and creating havoc on the forum.

Targetting specific members

The intruder, known only by the ID gumnam007, entered the IF SRGMP thread yesterday and started instigating certain members of the forum, badmouthing them and accusing them of lowly behavior.

Members who were victims of this person's attacks include Global Moderators Bhaskar.T and S. Priya, Viewbie Anol (soulsoup), IF SRGMP host Angie (teenindia_usa), mentor Apparaohoare, and supporter Adi (adi_0112). Even yours truly, the extremely neutral and unbiased reporter, shadyhtown, was not spared.

Accusations galore

The bone of contention was sparked by the recent issue of bringing back a contestant from Apparaohoare's gharana. Apparaohoare was accused of breaking rules and hiding behind his supporters, especially Adi. Both Appaji and Adi were said to be especially favored by the Moderators.

The intruder went on to accuse Bhaskar of playing back-door games in order to get himself promoted to GM status, whereas Priya was accused of hypocrisy - setting rules for others and not following them herself.

The writer of this article was also blamed for plagiarizing from the internet and making fun at others' expense.

Here I would like to stop and stress that I have never plagiarized from the internet, and the content in this, and all other articles written by me, is purely my own.

However, the intruder had special praise for Anol, calling him 'sensible' and asking him not to involve with any of the people mentioned here.

Fake identity?

The Moderators were quick to ban this person and trash his posts. But this may not be the end of the story. The general suspicion is that this is an old member who has returned in disguise - to vent out his/her anger or frustrations, as the case may be. The question remains - who is it?

S.Priya and Bhaskar.T seem to have a good idea of who this person may be. But they have stopped short of disclosing his/her identity by virtue of it being classified information. But there are stories floating around about the true identity of this person.

Here are some details about this person. If anyone has any idea who it might be, please contact this reporter or the above Global Mods:

ID - gumnam007
Date joined - June 29,2006
Number of posts - 13
Location - Bermuda
Writing style - Incorrect grammar, bad sentence structure, liberal use of demeaning Indian words

However, the authorities suspect the location has been listed incorrectly to mislead them, and the writing style may have be faked as well. According to a source, the IP address seems to have originated from the North-East USA.

According to members who have encountered this person, it is a repeat offender. He/she had earlier hijacked the HR Case thread a couple of months ago, and was disposed of in much the same manner. The victims say it is cowardly of this person to not come out in their original form.

The authorities have promised to keep a stricter vigil on the forum, as it is expected that the intruder may return in a different disguise. Netizens are requested to report any suspicious activity to the Mods.

End note: Due to constraints and to avoid increasing pressure on this freelance writer to change my profession to full-time journalism, I have decided to take a break from reporting. My assistant-in-training, Kabhi_21, shall be requested take over writing duties in my absence, once he is relieved of his MOTW duties. In the meantime, I will focus my energies on investigative work in my capacity as a Findbie.

Drama on the IF SRGMP sets!
August 23, 2006

Controversy keeps rearing its head on IF Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. This time it's on the issue of public favorite - Sunitha.

Eliminated early

Sunitha, the final remaining member of Apparaohoare's Yalgaar Ho gharana, has been eliminated. And the result has come as a shock to many.

According to a viewer, "Sunitha was the top favorite for the number 1 position. She has been a model of consistency. Unfortunately, she had a cold this week, due to which her performance was not up to the mark."

The judges, Anitha B. and Minnie, after a tough decision, ranked her 4th out of 5 contestants. As a result, she was out by virtue of being among the last 2. However, this morning, the judges had a change of heart, and they requested if they could keep Sunitha in, looking at her past performances and her capability.

Says the show's creative director, Barnali, "Sunitha's exit has shocked many. Even the judges don't think she should leave, and have requested for her stay, asking that only one contestant be eliminated this round. We have put this issue before the public for voting"

Opinions split

This has led to a strong debate among the viewers. While a majority of them want Sunitha to be back, there are many who disagree. Her supporters feel she deserves another chance, especially if the judges also think so. But those who disagree say that it would be against the rules of the contest and cite principle, saying that it would be unfair on other contestants who had been eliminated earlier.

Says Barnali, "This has been requested purely by the judges. The directors, nor any mentors or contestants, have anything to do with this request."

Apparaohoare himself was non-committal on the issue. "It is purely up to the judges and directors. I will not comment on this issue, and will accept whatever their decision is."

Wild card round?

The bone of contention here seems to be that any one contestant or gharana should not be favored.

"This reeks of politics," says Surpremi, mentor of Hum Mein Hai Dum gharana. "Why not call all the previous contestants back, and lets start this contest all over again."

Punjini of Sur Sangraam Besuron Savdhaan gharana adds - "This show is not a train, where people will keep getting off and coming back again. It wouldn't be fair on my remaining contestants."

So far there has been no solution in sight. But we may be heading towards one, says Barnali. "We may hold a round involving all eliminated contestants so far, and one winner will be selected and will be given a wild card entry into the finals. We are considering this, and have to sort out the technicalities."

But it may not be that easy. At least 3 of the eliminated contestants have said that they would be unavailable to take part in any wild card round, due to personal commitments, and that the show should just go on.

After starting off as the hot favorite and being among the top in all rounds, Sunitha's elimination has come as a shock. And now we are witnessing real chaos for probably the first time in the show. The opinions are starkly divided, and the battle has gotten dirty - with supporters having jumped into the fray, and accusations against mentors and contestants flying left and right, with old points being raised and used as examples.

Amidst all this chaos, the woman at the center of the controversy, Sunitha, has still not been available for comment.

Mentor turns down chance - walks out!
August 23, 2006

Every moment is beginning to provide a new twist at IF Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. The latest from the studios is that Apparaohoare, mentor of Yalgaar Ho gharana, has turned down the opportunity to get back into the contest.

Disgusted with events

Apparaohoare (or Appaji as he is fondly known) admitted that he was unhappy with the way the events were unfolding.

"The only thing holding me in this contest was the fun factor, But thanks to some people the FUN FACTOR is completely destroyed now."

Appaji went on to talk about how he felt when he lost one of his top contestants early on, and received no replacement. The request by the judges to keep Sunitha in was unexpected, and he was initially thrilled by it and by the support he received from the viewers.

But where there was support, there was also strong objection. Finally Appaji said he decided enough was enough.

"There is too much mud-slinging going on right now, and I don't think we should keep quiet any longer. Neither Sunitha and I want to be or will be a part of the finals."

He apologized to his supporters for turning down their requests, but decided it was in the best interests of the show. He also seemed to regret not having taken the opportunity to ask for an extension of the deadline when Sunitha was not in the best of health, before the previous round.

Sure winner

The show's creative director, Barnali was understandably sad about the decision, "It is really sad that just a fun program should get turned into such a drama. People say they will respect the decision of the judges but they could not keep a simple request from the judges"

She went on to praise Sunitha, calling her one of the strongest performers of IF SRGMP. "My daughter's guru, who is the direct disciple of Pt. Bhimsen Joshi listened to her songs and wondered why she was here and not in the real SRGMP. She can be a sure winner."

Mentor-meter heating up

To end, Appaji wished the remaining contestants all the best, and called on all the viewers and his supporters to enjoy the Grand Finale, even if his Yalgaar Ho gharana was already out.

But the events were not without controversy either. Apparaohoare took a few potshots at fellow mentor, Surpremi, pointing out an earlier incident when one of his contestants, Musaed, had used echo enhancements in his song, Surpremi had denied that any echo enhancements were used, but Musaed had admitted to the same. There has been no response from Surpremi as yet, as we go to press.

Hold tight folks. This isn't over yet.

I think to compare shady with Mr. Jha is not right as Shady has given all the facts. He has not distirted them like Mr Jha. (If I understand the personality of Mr Jha, but I could be wrong too).
