FTC Experience

"How do I start with it... one day my inbox read "ek writing compitition hai. I think you should participate" followed by a link... thanks to anand bhaskar who introduced me to the freelance talents tournament...

I was pretty sure me pehle round me hi bahr hun... fortunately aisa nhi hua ... I had great competitors and got to know many people through this platform... this was somethings unique in its own way... by the end though it got a bit hectic n I was about to quit at times when even the organisers inspired me... and finally I reached top 8... I won't say the journey ended because I know it was just a beginning... reading fellow writer's work and comments from judges and of course the friends added the cherry to our cake... thankyou freelance talent tournament... no matter where I go this shall be an important part of me..."

"sabse pehle aap sabhi members ko mera pyar bhara adaab..

mohit bhai ne kaha tha ki is pratiyogita ke baare me mera anubhav kya raha,uspar ek detailed post alag se karna.wahi kar raha hu.

sabse pehle to mohit sharma ko badhai dena chahta hu jinhone yeh pratiyogita aayojit ki or me unka shukarguzaar bhi hoon ki unhone is nacheez ko is layak samjha ki seedhe top 64 se shuruaat kara di..
about my entries - jaha tak baat is contests me meri enntries ki hai to me ek baat kehna chahunga,ab bhale hi aap usko maane ya na maane.lekin yeh sach hai ki mene teeno entries jo yaha bheji wo sirf kuch hi ghanto me likhi thi.doosre shabdo me kahu to mene unko mohit bhai ko bhejne se kuch hi samay pehle likha tha.pehle round ke baad to mene mohit bhai se kaha bhi tha ki me ab aage nahi khel paunga.lekin unhone mujhe walkover naa karne ki salaah di or samjhaya ki jo bhi ho likhkar entry bhej do,aise walkover mat karo.mene unki baat maani or apne busy schedule(ab me itna bhi busy nahi hoon,wo to itteefaak ki baat hai ki jab yeh sab ho raha tha to mere boss log bhi yaha aaye hue the,to is wajah se me kaam pe zyada dhyan de raha tha warna ek to farzi chutti maar lene me koi harz nahi samajhta hehe)se waqt nikalkar entries poori ki....

about other members - doosre members me kai logo ke naam mene pehli baar sune lekin zyadatar ko me pehle se janta tha.mene sabki entries ko enjoy kiya(jiski padhi hehe)..halaki me poori entries nahi padh paya lekin maximum entries ne mujhe prabhavit kiya..agar mujhe koi 1 naam lene ke liye kahe to me kapil chandak g ka naam lunga..unki teeno kahaniyo me jo touch tha wo kaabile tareef hai..sach kahu to mujhe unki kahaniya hi sabse zyada pasand aayi..specially jo unke father par thi.mujhe bhi kuch maheeno pehle aisa hi kuch feel hua tha.ab yeh mat samajhna ki mere father ko kuch ho gaya.hehe..actually unki sehat pichle 1 saal se kafi girti jaa rahi thi..jo bhi unko dekhta to unki kamzori ke bare me kehta..phir ek din unke ek friend ne,jo ki doctor hai,unka blood sugar level check karwaya..or usme unka sugar badha hua aaya..doctor ne kaha ki diabetes ke karan kamzori thi..bas mujhe jab yeh baat pata chali to khud pe bahut gussa aaya..bahut guilty feel kiya..jis father ne meri ek cheenk par acchhe se acchha doctor khada kar diya me unki girti sehat par samay se act nahi kar paya..kher,samay rehte pata chal gaya.ab things ko sambhala ja sakta hai..
about worst entries - ab me yaha kisika naam to nahi le sakta or na hi meri itni hesiyat hai ki kisi ko keh saku ki falane ki kahani bekar thi..but kuch gini chuni(maximum 2 ya 3 or wo bhi first round ki) entries ko padhkar unka mann hi mann me bahut mazaak banaya(kyunki or koi tha jo nahi jiske sath share karta)..kher,ab ispe isse zyada or kuch nahi kahunga

about judging - most of the cases me judging sahi hi lagi lekin 4-5 mauko par mujhe laga ki jitne ank judges ne diye hain usse zyada dene chahiye the..isme ek match youdhveer singh ka tha..mujhe laga ki unko jitne marks mile wo isse kahi zyada deserve karte the but judge ka aisa vichar nahi tha..wo to shukar hai ki wo match youdhveer g jeet gaye..kai entries unke comparison me kharab bhi thi jinko unse kahi zyada number diye gaye..overall dekha jaaye to koi kharaab decision nahi hua..infact jis round me me bahar hua mujhe usse bhi kuch shikayat nahi ki me waha jeetne wala tha etc etc..haan yeh zaroor kahunga ki thoda number 4-5 or de sakte the mujhe..kher,jo beet gayi so baat gayi. ek do mauke aaye jaha dispute hui but yeh sab aise aayojano ka hissa hai..kul milaakar mera experience badhiya raha..ek baar phir unka thanx karunga jinhone meri rachnao se manoranjan kiya or meri lekhni ko saraha..unka bhi thanx jinhone nahi saraha,atleast unhone padhi to sahi..hehe..judges ke suggestions ka bhi thanx....aage un kamiyon ko sudhara jaayega or achhe se accha likha jaayega..
thanx once again."
