On Talent

Can anything, anything at all be more touching, beautiful and astounding as this?

Kseniya Simonova, a Ukranian sand artist, who won the Ukraine’s Got Talent show (2009) by depicting the life of Ukranians during World War II. This one had me in tears.

And while we are at Talent shows, I had to put up this one. Orissa’s time had come. It meant so much to me to see The Prince Dance Group, winning the show. I loved their other acts as well- the Krishna and Dushavataar acts. But this one really filled me up with rare emotions .

 

 

What of all those cribbers who endlessly complain of a lack of facilities and training in our country. Some of these guys are labourers…and just about all from extremely modest backgrounds. Enough thoughts to ponder on, no?

Ciao.

Hey.. amazing video.. was not aware of this group at all.. actually was not aware that a talent show of this kind is happening in India as well! Thx for sharing..

I am not sure where my husband's family were staying during their school/college years.. somewhere near DAV Kukatpally I think.. now they have moved to LV Nagar.. anywhere near to ur place? :) All those places in Hyd - I used to take those overnight buses from Bangalore to Hyd to meet him -- guess thats the only reason Lakdi ka pool can be in someone's list ;)

Thx for that badge thing.. got me into thinking! :) Honest things.. hmmm.. :P
