Tap on opportunities

Dec 2, 2011
Reality shows are getting popular in South Asia. They give an opportunity to the normal people to enhance their talents, and present them in front of the world. So, anyone can go and show their
capability through such shows. Nepal is not lagging behind in conducting such shows either; they get huge sponsors, registration fees and media's support as well. There is good scope for this in Nepal as well.
Doesn't matter if it has been influenced by India or from America directly, the thing that counts is quality. We recognize only a few icons that came out of such reality shows. Dipak Limbu, the first
Nepali Tara is all I know, and I don't know who was the second, and even if it was conducted or not. So, where is the quality? Despite the fact they get good media support, good payment from the sponsors, I
really am unaware why the question of quality comes up as an issue. There exists a fault within the citizens as well, who can be properly criticized by the line: Nepalese audience spend their pocket money for making Prasant Tamang the Indian Idol, and were reluctant to provide donations for Kumar Kancha's treatment. Why do not Nepalese reality show organisers try to woo Nepalese audience?
Recently, I was shocked to see reality shows relating to singing superstar, acting superstar, etc. from various channels. The first thing that the organizers need to look after is good judges. Just because a person sang a song, he/she can in no way judge how well others sing. For that proper knowledge of music is required, and he/she really requires qualification. Second, the judge has to make a good prediction of the dedication that the winner will apply later on. Now why is this? Because, they have to set an example here. If the winner of an acting competition works part time or it is a hobby, and
is engaged in some other things then there can be no further expectation. He/she will utilize his prize money and gift hampers and disappear from that field.
I highly appreciate Band Challenge's judge, who made Anuprasta the winner, since they are still in the Nepali music industry. Nepali reality shows can provide huge opportunities to a person, but it can go to waste if it is not a seriously made decision. The judges must identify the person who actually is fit for an opportunity and is capable.
Years back, an FM station had conducted a RJ Hunt show, and brought two new RJ's to their station, but after an year they were not working there. Now, what was the use of that? If they were able to bring someone who was really required, and were dedicated, that would be beneficial for all concerned.
