To a packed hall, young dreamers from across the state of Assam performed with such passion and zeal, that one couldn't help but pray for each one of them to become winners. If one sang with a lilting voice, another danced with an intensity previously unseen in other artists. Twenty young people were short-listed for the final event. I only wished when the final three were to be announced that the judges would say, "Alright, all twenty of you go through." I just can't afford to see anyone sad and dejected. But I knew that the judges too had a tough time choosing from the twenty shortlisted artists, some of the best I had seen so far. Performers par excellence! It really doesn't matter who came first and subsequently second and third, 'cause I would say that if someone hasn't seen the others performing, then there is absolutely no meaning in giving ranks to winners. And all the credit goes to the Assam Police Wives Welfare Association for making this effort to get these artists out from their shells and providing them with a platform to showcase their talent. And they have planned to make this an annual event! Way to go!
