1.6 TEAM TALENT FLUSH – AN
INTRODUCTION

-11-
As a child I was quiet and introspective. I was to be found with books
rather than my friends. I was passionate about hockey and captained my
school team in few tournaments. Acting was my constant dream. I was the
house captain and participated, organized several extra co-curricular
activities.
After school I wanted to move to theatre, but as usual my parents would
have none of it. Actors don’t make money, at least not all of them. So off I
went to study Engineering. I studied Mechanical Engineering for four years
but instead of the lecture rooms, I was with my books in my room studying
Metaphysics and Science.
After completing my degree I moved to an Engineering firm. I have been
working as an engineer for more than 4 years now. I have excelled at my
work, but now my heart is not truly into it. I find myself restricted to
repetitive work. I want to fly. I want to expand. I want to meet people. I want
my heart to beat wildly. Hence, came this idea, from where, I do not know. It
has filled me with passion, fire, excitement and joy. This is what I want to
do, every waking minute.

I personally believe that everyone has a talent and it is just the matter of
grooming it and showcasing it to the world. Lots of people either do not
have the confidence or motivation or enough facilities to make it happen. I
believe that Talent flush is a platform where we should be able to provide
all the required facilities, motivation, inspiration for everyone to showcase
their talents.

Married and mother of three young children, I live in Pont-A-
Mousson, a small city in Lorraine, area of the east of France, next to the
borders with Belgian, Luxemburg and Germany.
After my Master in European Union Law from Law College, Nancy, I started
my professional career as customs officer. I changed my job seven years
ago: today I'm a tax inspector specialized in international topics.
Providence and friendship led me to Talent Flush on Facebook: I
participated in its poetry contest, even if English isn't my mother language
and I deeply doubt of my poetic talent. But this first experience was quite
liberating, since it gave me self-confidence: I've recently joined the editor
staff of a French webzine, which presents electro music artists.
I firmly believe TF is an original and amazing project, which allows
everybody to express his creativity. I particularly like the universality and
diversity in TF: whatever your origin, your age, your wealth, your talent,
you're welcome!!!

Got an engineering degree in Information Technology from Punjab.
Born and bought up in Uttar Pradesh. During my Childhood I used to play
cricket a lot and dreamed of becoming a Cricketer. But some family
consequences didn’t allow me to do so.
I love to write. Writing has been my release. It has given me a chance to
escape into the worlds I created: My emotions build confidence into myself
and I started penning it down in Poems.
As per a poetic mood and sentiments I noticed every single human being is
busy building their dreams. I wanted to do something different, something
extraordinary beyond this world, “so I dreamed of helping others to make
their dreams come true”. And this is what Talent Flush is doing “HELPING
OTHERS TO BUILD THEIR DREAMS”. And yes it is the best thing to which
I can dedicate my whole life “HELPING OTHERS TO BUILD THEIR
DREAMS”.

“Lan! See this, here is the father, the mother, the big brother, little
sister and brother”, my 8-yo niece said excitedly and showed me the clay
family that she just created. From 3 pieces of colored clay, it took her less
than 2 minutes to make this wonderful vivid family. I was astonished and as
strongly believing as Sir Ken Robinson “… we are all born with extraordinary
powers of imagination, intelligence, feeling, intuition, spirituality.” (The
Element, 2009), I think that each of us has an amazing imagination and a
unique way to see the world, just like my niece. The need to express our
emotions through arts and creativity is most natural and should be
nurtured.
Hi, I am Lan, from Hanoi. I’ve got my 12 years of career, and counting,
dedicated in the areas of learning and personal development. I love talking
with people and having meaningful conversations that help the person
connect with their deepest self.
Joining Talent Flush, I want to involve in this wonderful work of
encouraging people connecting to their creative self, cherishing talents;
through that, making the world a more colorful and melodious place.

My name itself reflects my persona- bold, protective and responsible. I
born and bought up in Ghaziabad, U.P. I am a business administration
postgraduate and working as an operations & marketing Manager in one of
the growing direct marketing company of Gurgaon. I also own a small
business of café for busy entrepreneurs and try to add pinch of new flavors
into it each day. I believe in keeping high targets in life to make us refresh,
motivated and alive each morning. I love to travel, cooking, playing outdoor
games and spend good time with my family members.
I believe anything uncreative cannot succeed. God is a creator. The only way
to succeed in god’s existence — and there is no other existence — is to be
creative. Every creative soul -- it does not matter what he creates -- should
be respected and honored, so that creativity is honored. In a real, honest
human society, creativity will be honored, respected, because the creative
soul is participating in the work of God and that's exactly what Talent Flush
is all about. It works for better life on earth and that's enough reason to be
with it and be proud of what it does.

Mr. Madan Prakash Singh
Winner of Poetry Contest.
My humble thanks to Team TF for sharing
my poems. You have created amazingly
beautiful platform inspiring people to
express their feelings in various ways. I
wish to tell you that I am a surgeon by
profession.
In the recent years, my team of surgeons
has attended many cases of suicidal
attempts by young adolescent boys and
girls in our emergency. We could save only
some of them; rest succumbed to their
injuries. Some of them were the only
children of their parents. Just imagine the
misery, sense of guilt and irreparable loss
of these grief’s struck parents, who are
now suffering from the agony of this
silently. I thought that my responsibility
as a surgeon was not enough. My heart
told me to take some initiative. With the
help of a prominent daily newspaper we
made a team of motivators. This team
attended schools and colleges to motivate
and counsel children. It was shocking to
learn that there is a big communication
gap between these bright children, their
school teachers and their parents .In these
demanding times, nobody is giving them
space to vent out their feelings. For us,
this is an ongoing mission now.
Fortunately, this year so far, my city has
seen a decline in suicidal attempts in the
age group. Death without justifiable
reasons should not be acceptable to us.
Life, a gift of god, should be respected and
loved by all. If you love yourself first, only
then this world loves you. Thanks.

Mr. Bhavik Bamania

First of all thank you Talent Flush for

D
And I dedicate this prize to my music
teacher Shilpa Mam. Ma'am your naughty
student has done it! :) And I promise you
that it's just a beginning :) Keep Blessing
Me. :)
Talent Flush came like a light in my kind
of dark days. It provided me full energy,
confidence, enthusiasm when I had lost all
hopes that no one would ever be able to
hear my voice, my songs, and my music.
They started sharing my songs & when I
got to see people's response over there, I
got extremely serious about my music
passion, I found many friends, fans there.
TF really helped me out in improving my
skills, they are still trying so that I could
give my perfect shot, I'm extremely happy
to have Talent Flush on my side, where
there is no such thing like politics, money,
etc., the only thing which is preferred in
Talent Flush is "Talent". I know there are
many more like me out there so I would
just want to tell them, just have faith, if
you think you got any kind of talent,
contact Talent Flush & the rest will
become an epic.
