Here Comes the Judge

I love going down to schools and judging events and competitions. This morning I was down at MES Kishora Kendra for the second time to judge an event there. Its a lot of fun and brings back memories of when I was in School and College. These days when I judge an event, I can see how difficult it really used to be for judges in my competing days...to choose one person over the other. Sometimes you want to take just five minutes to talk to a participant to tell them what their strengths are and when their weaknesses are. The pity however is that in the middle of signing autographs, taking someone's song request and discussing a deep though with an audience member, in the distance you see a saddened contestant who did not make the cut feeling all alone and going home believing that they have been wronged...

SORRY...did I say I LOVE THIS??? Ok Now I wonder why...
