Shillong mourns over Amit's defeat

Monday, September 24, 2007: (Shillong) :
Shillong's hysteria over a music show is proof of Bollywood's appeal but their
hero's departure has taught the fans that there's more to performance in a
reality show.
A phenomenal carnival kind of atmosphere has been going on in the sleepy hill
town of Shillong for weeks now because a certain reality music show on a
television channel has evoked mass hysteria.
Even a decade ago it was unthinkable for people of Shillong to stay awake at
night or people from all communities to come together for the sake of Bollywood
music but at the end of the day it was less of a contest between one musician
and another rather more of a contest of SMSes.
Meghalaya was almost sure Amit Paul would win the contest. Celebrations were
underway across the state.
People gathered at street corners watching the programme on giant television
screens. The mood was electrifying.
"He has not only got Shillong alive, he has brought togetherness, made us feel
Indian. That's what he's done for us," said Antonio, Fan of Amit Paul
Tuned in more to western music Meghalaya was suddenly catching up with Bollywood
and perhaps finding their place on the national stage.
But as news of the leads started coming in, a pall of gloom descended, anxious
fans still waiting for the final results. Amit lost the contest to another hill
town Darjeeling's Prashant Tamang.
"He'll do it again, not in Indian Idol its over and done with but in the music
world. In our hearts he is the winner. We'll always be with him, Amit three
cheers," said Amit Paul's friends
The contest is over; weeks of frenzied campaigning have come to an end. But one
hopes that the disappointment now wouldn't drive a wedge through communities.
