The runaway kid on Indian Idol
MUMBAI: Milan Thakur, the eldest of the three kids who ran away from Begusarai (near Patna) to be part of Indian Idol, was recently back in the city with his parents this time.Invited to be a guest on the show, Milan was happy and excited at the prospect of meeting the contestants of Indian Idol. The lean and lanky fourteen year old Milan looked shy and a bit embarrassed too as he sat giving his first ever interview.
"I love music and singing and wanted to take part in Indian Idol, that is why I did what I did," he confesses. "With the forty thousand that I took from home, my two young friends and me booked train tickets to Mumbai. Once in the city, a man who befriended us on the train helped us get rooms in Ashray a city hotel for Rs 400 a day. Once the money was over, we began roaming the streets and even slept at railway platforms. Confident and unafraid of any untoward incident happening to the trio, he said," I was very careful. When the gentleman asked us to accompany him to Delhi I refused the offer," he said firmly. Said the relieved father, "My main worry was that the children should not fall into the wrong hands." But his pretty mother says had she known of his love for music she would definitely have done something about it. One thing is for sure Milan is going to get some music lessons. Different from the kind of music he faced when he got back home!
A word of caution: Not everybody who runs away from home has the kind of good luck that Milan and his friends had.
Moral of the story: Running away from home does not always end in a musical journey!
