Aishwarya Majmudar


UPDATE : Aishwarya is the WINNER.
Although I am fan of
Anwesha and would very much like her to win Star Voice Of India 'Chotte Ustaad', there is another beautiful voice that is worth mentioning. And that is of Aishwarya Majmudar.

While Anwesha enthralls you with variety and technical finesse, Aishwarya's strength is her tonal quality.

Aishwarya has got a very sweet and unique voice. Her renditions have a very melodious touch. Couple it with her wonderful demeanor, and you have a delighting performance.

At the age of 14, she has more than 80 live performances to her credit, which is an achievement in itself.

Here is the snapshot of her journey in 'Chotte Ustaad' :
1. Kehna hi kya (Bombay)
2. Mann kyu behaka
3. Kaisi Paheli Hai Zindagani (Parineeta)
4. Aaj Main Upar (Khamoshi)
5. Mose Chal
6. Raat akeli hai
7. Mohabbat Aisi Dhadkan Hai
8. Pyaar Hua Chupke se (1942 A Love Story)
9. Piya Tu
10. Yaaro Sunlo zaara (Rangeela)
11. Jhooth Nahin Bolana
12. Piya Bole
13. Aankhon ki Gustaakiyan
14. Pardesia
15. Ishq kabhi karyo na
16. Bengali Song
17. Soni de Nakhre
18. In Dino
19. Kesariya Balam
20. Piya Tose Naina
21. Nimbooda
22. Pyaar Ki Yeh Kahani
23. Mash Allah
24. Hey Baby
25. Kaal Dhamal
26. Barso re
27. Mera Piya Ghar Aaya
28. Aaj Phir Jine Ki Tamanna Hai
29. Tasbeer se bigadi huyi
30. Mann mharo Dhadke
31. Janeja is Dil mein tum
32. Dil cheez kya hai
33. Jise dhoondta hun har kahi
34. Hey Rang lo (Gujrati)
35. Chupke se
36. Ye Gore chore
37. O Sajna
38. Rangeela re
39. Albela Sajan
40. Mera Piya Ghar Aaya

Budget 2008

Being the last budget before poll, Mr. Chidambaram has come up with 'populist' budget.

The most salient feature for individuals being the change in IT slabs.

The new IT slabs are :

Income Slab

Tax (in %)

0-1.5 lakhs (for woman 0 – 1.8 lakhs)

0

1.5 – 3 lakhs

10

3 – 5 lakhs

20

5 lakhs & above

30










So if you are earning 5 lakh + income, you would have tax saving of around 45000.

Capital gain tax has been increased from 10 to 15 %. This would have effect on shares and land deals transactions done in short period.

For Corporates though, the budget has been ‘average’.

On a different note, read article that realty prices in Pune are on downslide.

All in all, Today was a happy day for middle-class people.

Anwesha Gupta

UPDATE : Anwesha has finished as "Runner-up" in Final.

It’s raining ‘Reality Music Shows’ these days. Friday & Saturday’s prime slots are booked by these shows on most of the premier channels. For me, the commercialism of the shows in order to garner more sms votes has been the “turn off’ factor. But, I bear those things as I am an avid music buff and, as it is, there is not much option available :-).

In these 3-4 years, I have been follower of “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa” and “Voice Of India” and have enjoyed performances of budding singing talents like Nihira Joshi, Vinit, Aneek Dhar, Amanat Ali, Mussarat Abbas, Harshit Saxena, Sumitra Iyer, etc. I liked them but never felt an urge to vote. But, there is one girl whom I want to vote, will vote and wish that everybody votes for her.

The name is “Anwesha Gupta” and she is participant of Voice Of India – Chotte Ustaad.

She is barely 13 years old and a true prodigy. But, to my surprise, she always is among least vote getters. Show playing regionalism card also doesn’t help her story. But, she takes all this in her stride and delivers power pack performance week after week. To see a child prodigy lose due to regionalism factor is heart-breaking and a reason to make this post.

Anwesha enthralls and mesmerizes by her almost technically perfect renditions. Don’t believe? See these videos and if you agree, here are the voting details : http://www.indya.com/chhoteustaad/vote.asp
