totally agreed.  It was sooo unoraganized and unprofessional. Yo sab Paisa khane dau matra ho.  In the name of promoting our culture they are just insulting it.  Here are the few things i would like to mention about this program
1)   how in the hell a jury can select top three out of 10 candidates.
2)  Why were the contestants brought in to the mainstage from backstage when the winners were announced (Why wouldn't all the contestants be standing in front stage). As a matter of fact, the stage was so cluttered with all the jury members at the end of show. Why wouldn't the organizers think that there wasn't enough room for the winners and the jury members.
3) What's up with jury members--they couldn't even properly ask the questions. They had no clue what they were asking. And how come the candidate who  answered the question with utmost stupidity be second runner up in the competition. Refer to the recent Sajha posting on this. Now I come to thinking that every year the second runner up quota is set aside for the ones which the organizers favor.
4) I couldn't stop laughing my assoff when those ladies were doing candle-dance. All coming to the frontstage and performing same steps (no variety-- crappy choreography). The hilarious of all-- where did the contestants learn to do Namaskar like that--stretching forelimbs all the way up, all the way skyhigh and finally the "Namaskar". I think the art of doing namaskar is not hard and fast--Namaskar doesn't have to be so artistic.
5) What's up with crowning of the title winners--they should have been seated first and the reigning winners should have been crowned gracefully.
6) Overall crappy choreography, crappy management, very biased--why bother to even do this, just do all this in a closed rooms since the winners are already fixed. What did they do with all those money they raised, minimun 1000 dollar from each participant.  Finally hoping to see how the finances were handled and how the fundraised money were used.

However, I was very impressed with some of the contestants like Astha shrestha, Srijanee joshi, Barsha and few others. They were deserving candidates. I will like to advice them not to participate in these kind of crappy programs, u guys are really talented and deserve better than this.
