Every now and then, we all need a little boost. A pat, a word-of-praise, a rare word of appreciation can spur us onto better performance. These days a quick kick-up-the-backside achieves the same purpose, but doesn't do a whole lot of good to self-esteem.
When we prepared for our team performance on ITC's Claim2Fame show, we had honest expectations of doing well; even if we didn't we were prepared to simply enjoy ourselves. It wasn't a very hotly contested event. Even so, the show had a couple of celebrity judges in Her Mellifluous Sudha Raghunathan and Danseuse Srekala Bharath. Our team comprising of Amit, Aman, Gaurav, Rajan, Probal and self put up a sterling flawless performance, even better than our rehearsals and in doing so thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Sure enough, we got a pass to the next round. The theme had something to do with the Company looking to the future with drive and passion. We'd all gone through a tough week, living through unnecessary pressure. The show certainly did that for us - spur us on 'Kal Ki Oar'.
