X- Factor India

SO i was crying half the time... and smiling the rest even laughing:) X Factor does that...

You come from all around india to prove your singing talents, and the feelings and hopes and dreams associated with it is something truly amazing...

I cudnt help my tears when there was this 21 yr old macho, handsome guy, singing a sad song... Bhuladiya... and as his mom stood there with her hands clenched and tears falling, i cud see how she must have had been there along the way seeing him sing, correcting her, feeding him, caring for him and seeing him there on the munch... wanting her son to get his dreams... to become successful... and then when sonu and the rest of the judges said yes we all were crying yes... i was... also wondering if the song had some story too...

Then a rikshaw wala came in... with his wife and a year daughter... and as he started ... i cudnt stop jhooming:P i was in the trance as he sang in voices similar to that of mukesh... andevery one moved along... so when he shared his dream, that he wud like to get his wifes dream to be a teacher ... and sonu said that i can see ur wifes dream coming true and not juts that i can see u driving around with ur wife in a car soon... and how he humbly broke down... telling the journey behind him, the hopes, the dreams , the hard times... and the wonderful opportunity that took him from the rumbles and might be placing him somewhere top... i cried and when my brother tried teasing him for crying i hushed him for these emotions are priceless...

They may not have money, but they were fortunate and exceptional in many ways...

then a lot more but these two moved me the most...

The best part watching these programs is when we all bring down our facade and cry and come in line with our human most sensitive side , where we are joyous on someones victory and sad on someones disappointments... people miles away, divided by borders, yet we feel for them like our own...Like its not their success or failure we are watching its as if we see humanity winning or losing....
