Boogie Woogie India

As I am ready to start my journey, I thought nothing would be better then few jokes to keep the lighter spirits up and so we come back to our jokes segment this week. Hope you enjoy reading jokes. If you have any jokes that you would like to contribute, please do send them over to sansuiboogiewoogie@gmail.com

The boss is finally old enough to retire from the company. On his last day of work, he ordered a farewell party for himself. The boss wanted everyone to express their good feeling about him by writing on the farewell card, so later he could remember how his staff "miss" him.
Most people are writing standard phrases like, "Without you, the company will never be the same,"
"We will always remember you," etc.
Obviously the boss was not satisfied. "I need something from the bottom of your heart, something really touching, you know. Okay, John, you have been working with me for the last 20 years. You are my best staff. I am retiring now. What do you have to say?"
Slowly but firmly, John wrote, "THE BEST NEWS IN 20 YEARS."

A dying man gathered his best friends – a lawyer, doctor and clergyman – at his bedside and handed each of them an envelope containing $25,000 in cash. He made them each promise that after his death and during his repose, they would place the three envelops in his coffin. He told them that he wanted to have enough money to enjoy the next life.
A week later the man died. At the wake, the lawyer and doctor and clergyman each concealed an envelope in the coffin and bid their old client and friend farewell. By chance, these three met several months later. Soon the clergyman, feeling guilty, blurted out a confession saying that there was only $10,000 in the envelope he placed in the coffin. He felt, rather than waste all the money, he would send it to a mission in South America. He asked for their forgiveness. The doctor, moved by the gentle Clergyman’s sincerity, confessed that he too had kept some of the money for a worthy medical charity. The envelope, he admitted, had only $8000 in it. He said he too could not bring himself to waste the money so frivolously when it could be used to benefit others. By this time the Lawyer was seething with self-righteous outrage. He expressed his deep disappointment in the felonious behavior of two of his oldest and most trusted friends. "I am the only one who kept my promise to our dying friend. I want you both to know that the envelope I placed in the coffin contained the full amount. The other men looked down in embarrassment and the lawyer continued, "Indeed, only I honored the deathbed wishes of our great friend. My envelope contained my personal check for the entire $25,000."

Once upon a time there lived a woman who had a maddening passion for baked beans. She loved them but unfortunately they had always had a very embarrassing and somewhat lively reaction to her. Then one day she met a guy and fell in love. When it became apparent that they would marry she thought to herself, " He is such a sweet and gentle man, he would never go for this carrying on." So she made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans. Some months later her car broke down on the way home from work. Since she lived in the country she called her husband and told him that she would be late because she had to walk home. On her way she passed a small diner and the odor of the baked beans was more than she could stand. Since she still had miles to walk, she figured that she would walk off any ill effects by the time she reached home. So, she stopped at the diner and before she knew it, she had consumed three large orders of baked beans. All the way home she putt-putted. And upon arriving home she felt reasonably sure she could control it. Her husband seemed excited to see her and exclaimed delightedly, "Darling, I have a surprise for dinner tonight." He then blindfolded her and led her to her chair at the table. She seated herself and just as he was about to remove the blindfold from his wife, the telephone rang. He made her promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned. He then went to answer the phone. The baked beans she had consumed were still affecting her and the pressure was becoming almost unbearable, so while her husband was of the room she seized the opportunity, shifted her weight to one leg and let it go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of pulpwood mill. She took her napkin and fanned the air around her vigorously. Then, she shifted to the other cheek and ripped three more, which reminded her of cooked cabbage. Keeping her ears tuned to the conversation in the other room, she went on like this for another ten minutes. When the phone farewells signaled the end of her freedom, she fanned the air a few more times with her napkin, placed it on her lap and folded her hands upon it, smiling contentedly to herself. She was the picture of innocence when her husband returned, apologizing for taking so long, he asked her if she peeked, and she assured him that she had not. At this point, he removed the blindfold, and she was surprised!! There were twelve dinner guests seated around the table to wish her a Happy Birthday"!!!

Recently marriage, or what type of guy or girl would you marry has been a hot topic on Boogie Woogie and so I thought I must also put in my two cents here since it intrigued enough interest to this discussion board.

When anytime a question is popped up asking what type of person would you marry, people lot of times comes in with answers that will satisfy their own personal souls – something like “someone who would understand ME, someone who would take care of ME, someone who would care for MY family and other MY stuff”. It’s always about me, I and myself and maybe that’s why the perfect partner syndrome still hangs in thin air even after they get settled with not so perfect partners. But the above scenario takes place only in discussions. When it comes to reality only looks matter for people. 9 out of 10 times, people only fall for looks, or in India in arrange marriages, money matters!! Let’s start from the very beginning and speak about rights first.

Should a girl or a boy be given rights to choose their own partner? I think definitely “Yes” but provided they think with their head and are not too immature. I strongly feel that marriage is not for immature people, it requires certain degree of maturity in behavior and actions. It definitely should not be performed at too young age. Period!! But then puppy love happens in teens so if such an scenario happens then you can only pray for the couple to turn out to be good – you can’t do anything else. But one thing that parents can do is make their upbringing really strong right from the beginning. Brainwash their kids from the start saying puppy love is bad or even getting into any relationships is bad at young age. Speak about why it is bad and what can be the consequences if one enters. Be open to your kids, speak to them like friends. I know my mother did and maybe because of her speaking, I never dared to take a wrong decision in my teenage. Put enough confidence and give them enough freedom but never take an eye off them. Encouraging and setting a good example helps in not taking any wrong decisions at wrong age. But in case they are at right age and have someone in mind, then I feel parents must give them the right to choose their partner after all they are going to spent their rest of their lives with the person and the family. The credit or vice versa would entirely be their own. But let’s look at people’s selection of a girl or a boy!!

I have observed so many friends and families who choose a spouse either for themselves or for their family member. The first thing that makes them say yes or no is LOOKS!!! He or She looks pretty or good looking, its a perfect match made in heaven! Really?? Is that what makes a marriage successful?? Think again people!! Families look at families if they belong to so and so status and are educated and financially well then it is automatically assumed the member coming out from such a family is great add on as a new member. Really?? Hmm interesting perspective!! Another question I have - Why is it that people often look out for a girl who is almost half the age of a guy but for a girl a younger guy is “No Cant Do” scene?? When last time I asked this question, someone told me they do this for kids. So bearing kids is enough for a successful marriage? What about compatibility? Okay let’s ignore and move forward. Let’s see what you think of age. And if someone thinks age does not matter think again. In my eye, a guy in his late 30’s getting married to a 18 year old is no match from any angle. The maturity level and the thinking power would clash everyday. I think the guy is too old to keep up with the girls aspirations and has a bigger chance of having fights over silly reasons due to expectations not being met. Maybe the initial two years would be happy because the girl is not settled enough to speak her mind. LOL! Anyway do you think if you meet someone in a party and the person is smiling and speaking sweet, is enough to judge the person? I think everybody puts in their best shoe forward. We all do, we all present our best side first and eventually we bring our true selves out and then that is when the problem starts So no matter how much time you take in knowing the person, the fact is that the true colors will be seen only once you get into the sacred relationships, after you tie the knot! It’s after all two individuals with two different minds so there is bound to be difference in thinking and behaviorism but the successful marriage is the one that deals with any given situation with patience and with keeping family interest in mind.

My mom always says, marriage is an institution, you learn things about one another throughout your life. It is like a car where the two tyres are for husband and two for wife. The journey becomes difficult without the complete set of tyres. Some time ago when I was in sales, I was talking to a couple who were my customers. The couple were in their 70’s and were married for almost more then 40 years. When we were speaking, the wife said something on which the husband promptly said, “I have been married to you for more then 40 years and I didn’t know this about you till date!!” so you see the point in brining this scenario is to say that how much ever time we take in knowing a person, it is not going to be enough to know them in full. Human mind is such that a life time is not enough maybe that’s why in Hinduism they talk about 7 Janams!

Anyways I definitely think marriage is not about mere physical attraction nor I think the couple that displays public affection is the happiest. I think when a person gets married, its not just an individual affair but bonding of two families together. It is a marriage of families. It requires maturity, patience and good morals. It requires great family bonding and a faith and trust that no matter what happens tomorrow, family stays together!! People talk about neutral families? I think that is utter crap! A happy family is one which has its elders living and blessing them happily. A happy family is one where kids grow knowing their relatives and loving them. A successful marriage is one that knows there is no breaking or parting till death do them part. And so I think the criteria when one looks for marriage what type of spouse they would get married to should be one who loves their family, believes in family bonding, has certain degree of maturity, patience and definitely jovial. Sense of humor makes tougher times go easy so definitely yes a happy person. Nobody wants to hang around with less patience or short tempered person. But marriage is also about seriousness, compromises, sacrifices, so one should also be ready for it. If you are going in for marriage, go with the open mind and heart, don’t hang on to your stuff too tightly because it may happen that you may have to give up your personal stuff to make marriage work but family? NO!! You should never give up on your family!!

To sum up, Marriage is not just about bearing kids or taking the family forward but it is also about compatibility. It is about companionship in our old age. In young age, we really do not need anyone but in our old age, our married partner would be our best friend. It is about growing old together and it is about spending quality time without getting into nasty arguments. It is about adapting in each other’s happiness. It is about love and it is about raising beautiful family with morals keeping the entire family unity together. Marriage is also about caring about relatives, far and near and showering love on them. It is also being part in all their bad times and good times. My mom says, “Kissi ki khushi mein aap bhale hi shaamil na ho, dukh mein zaroor shaamil hona chahiye” so marriage is also in letting your relatives know, no matter what, you and your partner will always be with them. And lastly, Marriage is definitely about believing in God and carrying the faith forward by spreading the goodness around!

Love at first sight is easy to understand; it’s when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle!

Boogie Woogie has produced many talented best of best dancers, performers but then there are few that stand out in their talent, in their creativity and for presenting from time and again something new and different. These individuals or groups even though hasn’t succeeded in fetching the number one prize but they clearly stand on top holding Boogie Woogie’s flag way high.

In my eye, a performance that touches a common man’s heart is worth not only applaud but all the praises in the world. And when a heart touching performance comes with beautiful story narration, uniqueness, display of perfect skills, it then becomes a complete package. There are few performers, dancers who every time they came on Boogie Woogie stage, presented something unique and new. They displayed their creativity in such a way that their story narration leaves a mark long after the performance is over and that too for a very long time. And the groups or the individual performers whom this blog is talking about are Prince Group from Orissa, Blossom Group from Nagpur, Hari Nath Reddy, Dharmesh Yelande.

These above performers are total package in themselves and can be called complete paisa wasool! If R & N Production decides tomorrow to start a Broadway show, these performers should get them their money worth and I definitely think it would be a fantastic combination of a production house who strive for true talent and concept and the performers who always bring out not only the best but something original and that too at times when everywhere you only see copy and paste is going on and so their originality shines just like a bright star. Our salute to Prince Group, Blossom Group, Hari Nath Reddy and Dharmesh Yelande!! Keep up the good work – We surely would love to see you again and again. You make us very Proud!

Saturday’s episode was the last episode of Himmat ki Kheemat where return of previous champs had performed and mummys championships starts from the coming Friday onwards and so five groups had performed on Friday night which brought the remaining five groups to perform on Saturday night.

After a funny talk about their college days the show was started with a supreme performance from Prince Group from Orissa. In two words – MUST WATCH!! It was one brilliant performance and you don’t want to miss it at any cost. Now this is what is quality, this is originality and this is mind blowing creation. In my eye, copying western groups and putting a performance equally or improving them is not much of an effort as much as when you create something original, a never seen before that is born from our own land and one that is patriotic is. To perform the same with utmost perfection especially taking dancers with some disabilities and prove them no less then any common man is something. The theme, the message and the concept makes a lot of difference. It shows the groups and individuals potential. and Prince Group I can say proudly is NUMBER ONE GROUP Boogie Woogie ever has witnessed to come up with performances that not only add charm to the show but keeps Boogie Woogie’s flag way up. Such groups are encouraging and definitely boosts the moral of many millions of people. My Salute to them. I never liked using words such a handicap because I feel there is nothing that is impossible in this world. If one wishes, one can make anything possible with your own effort and with God’s grace. God has made each and everyone of us very special and that is what this group’s each dancer displayed – that they are special! The theme of the group’s performance was on Indian patriotism and they danced on “Saare Jaaha Se Acha Hindustan Hamara”. What a beautiful number and a fabulous narration in the performance. The dancers were divided into three groups – one all colored in orange, one in green and one in white representing Indian flag. They also danced making a chakra and two dancers in white clothes displayed awesome stunts. I couldn’t have asked for a better opening of the show then the one from Prince Group! Now coming back to after performance reaction – The group got standing ovation from all three judges. Yes they do deserve it to the very core. Javed spoke very well and he said the group has been motivational and very inspirational. There were few dancers who had some physical inefficiencies but to overcome that and perform better then a normal person is way superb. He applaud on the groups trademark and for the beautiful message and concept of the theme. Ravi praised the group leader’s “Krishna” choreography and said it was visual treat and it was perfect poetry in motion. Javed also praised the dancer who got down the stairs by using just his hands and Naved said he did better then the world gymnast who did something similar in an old English movie. The windmill the dancer performed they said cannot be done by no normal person as much as this dancer has performed. It was neatly done and was done with perfection. On this the dancer thanked the judges and said its because of them he has been encouraged and on that judges were quick to say that its not them but he has worked hard himself to show that he is no less then any normal person and God has made him special and put lots of strength in his hands that he could use them to his advantage.  I just loved each and everything about this performance and the talk. I give 10 stars to this performance and for the after performance talk. Love you Boogie Woogie – Keep your true spirits always up! You guys rock!!

The second group to perform was Blosson Group from Nagpur. This group of guys were dressed up as girls and danced on Ringa Ringa song from Slumdog Millionare. It was one fabulous entertaining performance. Watch them dance in sync and I couldn’t stop smiling while watching this performance. It was beautiful! MUST WATCH!! All three judges praised the groups performance and said it has become this groups trademark to perform as girls and they do that with perfection. They also praised them on their costumes and their style of dancing. The after performance talk was hilarious as well specially when Javed read out the question “describe the three judges in one word” and the answers were “naughty, entertainer and handsome” naughty was for Naved, entertainer for Javed and handsome was for Ravi. The group also thanked Boogie Woogie for appreciating classical dance and for not looking as bad as the other shows. They also said its because of the fame that they received from Boogie Woogie that gets them two meals without any tension. They also requested to keep encouraging classical dances and on that judges spoke words of encouragement and said the format of the show will not change. God has been great and they are happy that he choose them as means for many people. Beautiful!! Few more feathers has been added today!

The next group to perform is no stranger to Boogie Woogie fans – Rohan and Group. They started their perofrmance superbly and for few seconds I couldn’t make out which side is the person’s feet as he was spinning on his hands. I think the strength of Rohan and Group is in its synch. They do it so beautifully all together that it adds lots of charm to the groups performance. Many of the steps that they take are also performed by other dancers but when Rohan and Group does it, they do in so much synch that it takes the groups performance to a new high. Judges praised the group and their synch and the spins and their tuning. Here is another fact that we came to know – this group doesn’t practice in front of mirror but their choreographer and group leader Rohan watches them and corrects them. Judges also mentioned again about the groups international standard and I think they surpass that standard. The other day I watched many international videos of well known international groups and individual performers and really didn’t like any as much as I liked Rohan and Group’s performance. I think international groups need to get inspired and motivate from this group as well and if not then they definitely need to be alarmed because Rohan and Group can very much prove to be tougher competition! I am not going to say must watch because I know you surely will

The fourth group to perform was Sharp Shooters from Mumbai. One thing I have observed, when Boogie Woogie says they are bringing best of best – they really mean it. Saturday night episode brought all brilliant performances that one could ask for. They either have been perfect dancers or perfect synchronizers or perfect entertainers. Sharp Shooters were perfect entertainers who danced superbly on changing radio channels. Their mixing from a faster song to slow song and even on dialogues has been amazing. Its amazing to learn that the dance academy has more then 250 students and is called Fire Dance Academy and Sharp Shooters are their final batch. The group threw in a mind blowing dedication for Boogie Woogie and that definitely is MUST WATCH!! Don’t miss it, they did a fabulous job! Keep it Up!!

The last group to perform was the one who won everyone’s hearts with their first performance and has gained instant stardom – Fictitious Group. We on this site also have had many hits from people searching Fictitious Group and also they are one of my favorite group as well. Twice this group was on Boogie Woogie stage and both the times I couldn’t take my eyes off of them. Watch them dance – they were simply mind blowing. Last time when they performed, they had saved their stunts for another time and this time they came with beautiful stunts that will zap you in wonder. I think if there is a group that can give tough competition to Rohan and Group then its no international group but the group very much that is in house – Fictitious Group! The group got brilliant compliments from the judges on their stunts but the judges also has asked the group to polish their finishes slightly better. The group desired to compete in international competitions and asked the judges to guide them. On that the judges asked them to keep practicing and performing and one day things will happen. They also said Boogie Woogie will soon be going international and may provide that platform themselves. Its always great to aspire as it leads one to improve in their skills. Bravo Fictitious Group – Keep your dreams always up!!

After a flashback, the results were announced and there were three prizes. The First prize went to Rohan and Group, second went to Fictitious Group and the third prize went to Prince Group!! Congratulations Groups especially to PRINCE Group – You guys were mind blowing!! Keep it Up!!

Do we have any such dancers here on this blog??

Have Fun folks – Don’t stop smiling!!

Friday night brought Ravi’s birthday on Boogie Woogie sets – it’s something that I was really waiting for and that Chocolate cake looked really yummy. By the way, chocolate is my favorite flavor. Anyway after initial PJ’s, happy birthday tune was played and both Javed and Naved sang Happy Birthday song for Ravi. Boogie Woogie team gave a huge greeting card to Ravi and the birthday was celebrated with the entire audience. Ravi thanked everyone and said he loves Jave, Naved, Boogie Woogie team and all the fans. He also danced little bit. Ravi, your fans loves you too and we wish you the very best of best always. God bless you!

Coming back to Friday night episode, it was Return of Super Groups. And many groups that came in earlier came back to perform on Boogie Woogie stage. I sometimes wonder why? There are so many groups and so many individuals who haven’t yet got a chance to perform on Boogie Woogie stage but then there are few groups that Boogie Woogie calls them again and again. Well there is no doubt that these groups are the best among all but then the newcomers should also get a chance. Its just that the dream of many aspirants is still unfulfilled and they too deserve to be on the prestigious stage. Well, I do hope to see the newly formed “Mummiyo ki toli Group” on Boogie Woogie soon! (Okay girls, you all owe me a penny each)

Anyway, lets get back to Boogie Woogie Friday night episode. Oh by the way, Rohan and Group and Fictitious group are also there and most probably will be performing tomorrow night so does that mean, they are going to walk away with the prizes again?? most likely yes!!

The first group to perform on Friday night was Creation Group from Mumbai. This group danced on “Om Nama Shivaya” It was one neat performance. They performed semi classical and were dressed in White, Orange and Black. Performing in big groups is not an easy task and so anything that sounds neat and shows their efforts is worth applause. Watch the second part of the performance, it was fast paced and very nicely choreographed though the person lifting Lord Shiva pretending to be his seat was little bit shaky and maybe he couldn’t take the dancers weight but a very good effort. After performance talk was interesting and funny.

The second group to perform was Paresh and Group from Mumbai. The group dedicated this performance to all the locking dancers. I liked their costumes, checks – was seeing after a long time. Paresh group threw in a cool performance. There were couple of girls dancing with the guys and Ravi complimented them. After performance talk was good.

The next group to perform was Versatile Dance Group and they too were from Mumbai. They performed a folk dance. It was fast paced and the group in total danced very well. It was one entertaining performance. I loved their costumes too. It really looked like a group performance. Very well done! The group got compliments from Javed. He praised on the groups energy level, coordination and also on their smile. The after performance talk was hilarious.

The fourth group to perform was Bappa Exel Group and they came from Mumbai. It was one interesting performance and I liked it a lot! The entire group guys danced with trishul in their hands. They also used the stage well. The girls were prettily dressed and threw in a energetic performance. The after performance talk was again funny. The mimicry of Hritik was good. Judges brought a point that all the dancers after performing on Boogie Woogie they become Boogie Woogians but judges, I want to say, loyal fans are also called Boogie Woogians

The next group to perform on Friday night was Mumbai Rocks Group from Mumbai which was the last group to perform tonight. This performance was the best performance for the night. Must watch. They threw in a very energetic, synched and entertaining performance. Just that I couldn’t understand what they were wearing until Javed said its lungi. It turned out the group wanted to show it as Tamil hip hop. I liked the colors though – yellow and white and black and white. Looked cool. But pay attention to their dance, you will enjoy it. It was one neat, cool and very well done performance. I loved the ending too! The after performance talk was hilarious. Group got good compliments from judges especially from Javed along with couple of points but he did say that he liked it. Ravi liked the groups confidence.

Okay so the news is out – Mummy’s Championships as guessed will be starting from next week onwards. They showed the audition clippings of different mummy’s dancing and talking. Cant wait for next week but for now have a good night folks and sweet dreams!!

Our regular member and an awesome dancer Sumedha, sent me this piece and I thought I must share it with all of you. It’s a story that will touch your heart. This blog is just not about dancing and knowledge, it is also about feelings, emotions and also heart! Thank You Sumedha for sharing this beautiful story with us. God bless you!

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie.  She said, ‘I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would Love to spend some time with you.’  The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my Mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. 

That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner  and a movie.  ‘What’s wrong, are you well,’ she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.  ‘I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,’ I responded ‘just the two of us.’ She thought about it for a moment, and then said, ‘I would like that very much.’  That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel’s.

‘I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,’ she said, as she got into the car. ‘They can’t wait to hear  about our meeting.’  We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.  After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half-way through the entrees, I lifted my eyes and saw Mother sitting there staring at me.  A nostalgic smile was on her lips.  ‘It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,’ she said. ‘Then it’s time that you relax and let me return the favor,’ I responded.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, ‘I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.’  I agreed.  ‘How was your dinner date?’ asked my wife when I got home. ‘Very nice, much more so than I could have imagined,’ I answered. 

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined. An attached note said: ‘I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me.  ‘I love you, son’  At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: ‘I love YOU’ and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.

Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some ‘other’ time.

Recently Sony decided to go for a change and get rid of their glycerin episodes. I am really thankful to them for doing so. Except for silly actors to get benefit out of it for years and years, nobody else were really enjoying. Everyone were so very bored of seeing same stupid dramas which takes riches to rags, or put them in jail or make them dearth poor. And all those ridiculous saazish by their own family member for money. Aah!! I had enough of them and had stopped watching all of those stupid serials at prime time. But then recently when they started with Specials at 10, that really caught my eye and I found myself glued to TV again. But then there are rumors that specials at 10 might be ending soon. Well if that is the case then it would be a shame because after almost a decade, something really came on TV that was worth watching. Maybe if the rumors are true then they need to reconsider and let those specials continue or even better, move them to prime slot!

Anyway there are plenty of promos going on showing many new and interesting dramas that are lined up from May 25th. Change is always good as it rejuvenate many things and in case of TV Channel, it should rejuvenate their TRP’s. But is change in TV programs enough? I don’t think so!! Sony MUST work on its customer services as it has the most lousiest customer service. Common people are the ones that are shedding money out of their pockets to subscribe to the channel and when they write, if a channel ignores their mails then that is pure bad business. No amount of change in programs will get you the satisfactory results as the results that come out of good customer service. Period!! This is one area that Sony “must” learn from ZEE TV. Zee whatever and however they work, but they are brilliant in their customer service. No wonder people watch that channel because they can feel the connection with them.

Now you must be wondering why all of a sudden I am talking about Zee. Well the thing is that, almost a year ago, I wrote innumerous mails and all of them got royally ignored by Sony! It wasn’t even that I was asking for any favors. They were simple fan mails. I, then wanted to see if the other channels work in similar fashion and so I wrote two mails with two different ID’s and names to ZEE TV – one ID praising the daylights out of them and another one that cursed them to the core. Well the result, I got replied back on both the ID’s – one thanking me for the praises and second assuring the future episodes will be worth watching and thanking me for the input. Now that’s what I call good service!! I applaud their actions. Only a true and good business man realizes the importance of customers and treat them all equally. And the rest ? they just keep struggling day dreaming!

Anyway, it is awesome that Sony has got some really great shows lined up and going in for a change big time, but it is also the right time for them to change their policies as well. They need to spend time with their key viewers responding to them and as well as respecting them. And so with the coming 25th, if they can also change their customer services, then there wont be a stopping for this channel to become number one and stay there!!  I do hope we get to see this real change in this life! Amen!

On Friday night, right at the end of the episode of Himmat ki Kheemat, our dear judges spoke about the fabulous response that they got for Mummy’s special and what was more surprising and positive to hear was judges inviting more and more mummy’s for the upcoming championships. I have brought an audio clipping for you, so listen to them speak the exact words and prepare yourself better although I still need to understand the real in between lines message and which mummy’s would benefit out of it. But till the time we get a clarification or more information, lets get happy!

Mummy’s remember the golden rule if you are approaching them - Your first 45 seconds should be dhamaal!! All the best!

We always look out to bring the best for our members and so today we bring you Desi Hip Hop and RNB! Below are the songs that belong to Bohemia, Hunterz, Rich London Feat Sumeet and Sir Punj. Sometimes words don’t do justice to the work so without saying much, we will let you listen and groove.

We have tried our best to listen to the songs prior to putting them on the site, but if any of the songs has offensive words inside of rap, please forgive us. We recommend parents listening to the songs first before they let their kids hear or learn the songs.
