Idol 5

Indian Idol 5 has not received the kind of response its predecessors have...interestingly every gal or guy you turn to and ask who their favourite Indian idol is they give you back a blank expression of.."Idol season 5...Okay...well....umm". But the truth is I've been relishing season 5 with my parents and my sis. Today my parents made a crucial observation which I felt I needed to pen down... My overtly emotional dad is so enamoured by Salim Merchant, Sunidhi Chauhan and Anu Malik that he said 'they've shown what it takes to be a guru'.Well for once I had to agree with my dad. The opinions and the encouragement, the tips and the involvement with the contestants is conspicuous and touching...well I'm not sure whether the reality show is all that real but...the judges have really shown they are worth the honour!
