Amit Paul drives Shillong crazy!


The city of Shillong went into a festive jubilation at the news of Amit Paul returning home to meet his people. The usually unmanned and cold streets of Shillong were packed with people and suddenly one could feel the warmth and welcome that they wanted to give to their representative at Indian Idol. At Guwahati airport, there was a crowd of thousands of crazy fans wanting to have one glimpse of their hero: Amit Paul. From the Guwahati airport to the Bada Pani Lake, Amit halted at every 10 meters to talk and shake hands with his followers, friends and fans. At Bada Pani lake, he was welcomed with a Khasi Tribal dance. “This was a dream and now I believe that some dreams do come true”, says an over excited Amit Paul with tears in his eyes. “This is an experience of a lifetime; these moments will last in my mind forever.”The crowd followed Amit everywhere making it look like a caravan round the city. There were girls who ran behind Amit’s car for over three kilometers to get one autograph!!! After the Bada Pani Lake, Amit Paul made his way to the Air Marshall house which was crowded with localites’, who wanted to meet Amit Paul, and he came to the gate and met his fans personally. In the evening, at Jawaharlal Nehru sports complex, Amit witnessed and performed to a maddening crowd of over two lakh people. He held them spell bound with his rapturous music and mesmerizing renditions of some of the top chart busters and evergreen songs from 80’s and 90’s.Surely girls kissing, friends hugging and the crowd wanting to shake hands with this young man shook the life out of him by the evening. But still Amit maintains, “This was the most memorable day in my life at Indian Idol”. It was because of this platform that i got this fame, love and adulation from everybody. “Indian Idol rocks!” says Amit. At a press meet held this morning at Chief Minister's residence, Amit Paul was honoured with the title of brand ambassaor of peace of Meghalaya.

To All Indian Idol Viewers,
A TRUE AMBASSADOR OF PEACE IS HE?????:
IN THE STATE OF MEGHALAYA/SHILLONG, ALL INDIAN CITIZENS OF NEPALI ORIGIN WHO ARE IN MINORITY ARE BEING BEATEN, HARASSED AND THREATENED CONTINOUSLY BY THE CHIEF MINISTER’S PARTY MEN AND WORKERS TO VOTE FOR AMIT. THERE ARE MORE THEN 3OO FREE TELEPHONE BOOTHS THAT ARE OPENED BY THE CHIEF MINISTER AT STATE EXPENSE & ARE BEING USED TO VOTE FOR HIM FREE OF COST BUT NEPALESE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO COME NEAR THESE BOOTHS. IS THIS TO BE CALLED PEACE AND HARMONY? WHERE HAS DEMOCRACY DISAPPEARED FROM THAT STAE THOUGH IT IS PART OF INDIA? I SAW DR. IN FRONT OF THE CHIEF MINISTER’S NAME AND THOUGHT IT STOOD FOR DOCTOR BUT SEEING HIS ACT AND HIS FACE IT MUST STAND FOR DRACULA INSTEAD OF DOCTOR. HIS PARTY MEN AND WORKERS HAVE THEARTENED THE MINORITY COMMUNITY TO TAKE AWAY THEIR JOBS AND EVEN CHASE THEM OUT OF THE STATE IF HE DOES NOT WIN. MR. DRACULA C. MINISTER IS THIS PEACE, HARMONY AND DEMOCRACY FOR YOU? TRY TO LEARN FROM WEST BENGAL AND ACT DECENTLY.

If all the nepalese in shillong or in north east vote for Prashant also he wont be an indian idol unless he gets votes from the rest of the country,then how come they blame us for the no of votes prashant is receiving.if in any case they vote for Prashant then what is the harm,We have every right to give votes to the one we like n noone can force us not to do it.
Because of all these things happening in NORTH EAST I Seriously want prashant to be the indian idol.Is he not an indian why r people giving him a tag of being a nepali.He is a nepali but an indian nepali n he is fighting for india in the armed force.
HE TRUELY DESERVE TO BE THE INDIAN IDOL.

ALL THE BEST PRASHANT WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO MAKE U WIN THIS CONTEST.
