Politicians can learn from Scouting for Talent

THE EDITOR: On Sunday May 25, 2003 I had the opportunity to attend the Scouting for Talent audition at the compound of Viey La Cov. (Colours), situated at 200-202 Southern Main Road, La Romaine. The atmosphere is very serene, very comfortable and the staff was very receptive, even Mr Neal Giuseppi, the producer of the Scouting for Talent asked all the guests to give a rousing applause to Mr Roland St George the owner and also the people of La Romaine. Mr Giuseppi said he never knew that La Romaine had a wonderful place as this for any kind of social functions one wants to have.

It was a small historical day for me too in taking part in the audition of Scouting for Talent as the only East Indian citizen that took part doing a medley mix of an Indian-English musical on my harmonica and Casio. Everyone showed me a pleasant appreciation. I felt a true sense of unity that day, (I hope all the politicians in TT learn a lesson how we Trinis live as one people and one nation). Last but not least, I congratulate Mr Neil Giuseppi, the producer of Scouting for Talent . He was very firm on time and the way he conducted the audition, for me proves that virtue lies in the struggle and not necessarily in the prize.
