I read somewhere that Prashant performed well in the gala to be aired this coming Friday. Well, the first thing that came to my mind was --- he will be in danger then. When he does not get good remarks from judges, such unsupportive comments from judges sends a message to his supporter out there that he is in danger and needs the support, a lot and soon. The result--he is saved. When praised the supports may take comfort on judges' favorable comments and may think "well, he (Prashant) will get plenty of votes this time anyway -- we've supported him when he was in tough territory and we can take a break this time. Next time, we will jump in if we feel that he is in danger again". This kind of thought can turn fatal on Prashant, and there will be no next time. Bottom line : Supporters, who want Prashant to win, should continue to vote for him whether he performs well or not. About Prashant being Indian or Nepali --- I think its for him to decide. I have read in an interview where he identifies himself as a Nepali -- I take that statement as it stands. It's sad that we always love to fight on who is Nepali and who is not when it comes to India, and Nepal. I am specially bothered when people from Nepal who are settled in other countries either as residents/citizens of the adopted land keep on questioning about citizenship status of the people living in the land they left behind. I think, my personal opinion, Nepali huna Nepali man chahinchha -- deshko nagarik huna nagarikata chahinchha.
