Sur Kshetra Auditions Controversies

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 11:36 AM PST

Atif Aslam poster Sur KshetraIt was 15th Jan. 2012 and I was watching 9 o'clock news on Geo News, when I saw the first TV advertisement for the call of auditions for a singing competition between Pakistan and India, ‘Sur Ki Baazi’.

My first expression was WTH and quickly after this many questions started rambling in my mind like; audition? One more time? So what was the purpose of the previous auditions which took himself? Who were the people that took their flight to Dubai on 13th Jan? What the hell these people are doing in Dubai? And so on . . .

Actually, a month ago, on 21st Dec. 2011, I had received a text message from a friend in which he asked me to accompany him on 23rd Dec. on the auditions of , a singing competition between two teams, led by Atif Aslam from Pakistan and Himesh Reshamiya from India. I replied him, ‘Ok, Done Hai Boss’. A day passed and we together went for the auditions on 23rd Dec. 2011 at South End Club, Khayanbane-e-Rahat, DHA, Karachi.

Auditions were supposed to start at 10:00am but as expected, the superstar Atif Aslam was very late and he showed up around 05:00pm. I saw many talented guys jamming together, some of them were mind blowing and much more then what we expect. Anyways the auditions for the show ended at 12 o'clock midnight. Youngsters there were very much excited that they atleast got the chance to meet the superstar Atif Aslam personally. Later on same day I found out that Lahore auditions will be taking place on 25th December, 2011.

All the auditions came to an end on 25th Dec, 2011 and almost after three weeks on 13th Jan, 2011, the selected contestants of team Pakistan went to Dubai for the competition. First episode of the show was recorded yesterday 19th Jan, 2012 and first elimination show happened today, which eliminated Faraz Nayaar, the Lahori guy of team Pakistan.

Below is the group picture of the team Pakistan, Sara Raza, Misha Razzaq, Nabeel Shaukat and Faraz Nayyar (first eliminated contestant) can be seen among them.

I contacted all my possible sources but still could’nt find the reason why Geo is creating all this auditions controversy and what is the reason behind it. We have to wait and watch because only time will reveal it.

In the end of my blog, I want to inform you guys that I am not hearing any good news about our team, they are final selected contestants and we need to support them. All our best wishes are with them, hopefully they will do good and make us proud :)

Indian and Pakistani Chefs Will Compete in Foodistan

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 05:32 AM PST

, a new television show will bring together cuisines from India and Pakistan and chefs from both the countries competing against each other for a good taste. The organisers of the programme feel confident that the show will be a success and are excited to see these chefs compete on something constructive for a change.

There will be a team of eight chefs for each country and they will have to make dishes from scratch. Their cooking will be judged by Vir Sanghvi, who is a food critic, by Sonya Jehan, who is an actress, and by Merrilees Parker, who is a British celebrity chef and TV presenter.

Both the nations have many cuisines in common where tastes for food are also a lot similar. The show will be broadcast by NDTV Lifestyle as announced by Smeeta Chakrabarti, the CEO. She said that:

"This new show is extremely exciting for us because India and Pakistan are two nations that share a common passion for food."

The show will also help introduce both Indians and Pakistanis to each other foods and their varieties and how it is all made. The first series of the show will start next week and is shot in India. This means that next series might get shot in Pakistan. Foodistan will also highlight to the world the rich colours that both India and Pakistan have in their food culture.
