Watching your words while speaking in public is very important.

I always wonder, how much of what's said in such pageants is real (the female foeticide thing for example) and how much is said for simply shock value or to be different. And what is worse is that do we tend to discount the one genuine feeling among 100 fake ones just because of this suspicion?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your experiences in such detail, it was a wonderful read!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25965818.post-81485053656007422492008-07-26T23:10:00.000+05:302008-07-26T23:10:00.000+05:30Pradeep-Thank you so much for dropping by.

Talking about behind the camera scenes-they even recorded Manpreet being madeup, so she cannot deny she was given due attention in case her footage doesn't turn out well, he he.<BR/><BR/>HDWK-Oye, I am no celebrity, he he he. Are you in Punjab? Its a channel called PTC channel, they will show it on PTC and PTC Punjabi they promise to launch soon. Not sure if it is available outside Punjab though.<BR/><BR/>Mama-Yeah, I wanted to tell them so much but then I held my tongue. Everybody must learn their lessons. What is considered Desi today is ultimately that they will pay heftily to learn. I will consider your opinion about putting it on the GNDUAA site.<BR/><BR/>SS-I was constantly hoping that these girls, whoever reach the finals, remain in good and honest hands.

Because they come from the families who give them all physical amenities except giving them their emotional rich heritage of Panjabi language,its rich vocabulary and culture. <BR/><BR/>Most of the contesting stuff must be of convent educated, where Panjabi is a 'Foren Language' at her own home Suba.<BR/><BR/>What purpose these contests serve?<BR/>is a big question,<BR/>Leaving it here,coming to the spirit of a Judge of a few-hours contest. <BR/>You described it in an interesting style, in a simple language, covering all parts of the contest- from stage, camera, make-up man, lights etc.etc. to the contestants- their aspirations, dreams and of course their weaknesses too, including the hot weather, sweating etc.<BR/><BR/>You have rich heritage of 'Panjabiat' in you, thats why you feel pained when some one who is 'Panjabi' but is hard of speaking Panjabi.<BR/><BR/>My suggestion is, that edit this article and put it on GNDUAA site, if possible its conversion in Panjabi too, that will serve the real purpose.<BR/><BR/>Excellent work you have done, by posting your experience for sharing with your pen-mates.<BR/><BR/>Keep it up!<BR/> <BR/>DhindsaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25965818.post-86147792547624929782008-07-24T17:03:00.000+05:302008-07-24T17:03:00.000+05:30Hello?

Hope she achieves much more than just the Miss punjaban title in life.<BR/><BR/>Secondly the incidents u mention happened behind the scenes seem much more interesting than anything that could happen in front of the camera. Wish they would telecast this bit rather than some girls parading around.Pinkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714914168230658950noreply@blogger.com
