Hosting Miss Uk Nepal 2011

The second year running Miss UK Nepal has ended with announcement of new title holders Miss Gau Maya Gurung is our new Miss UK Nepal followed by Pragya Shrestha who is the 1^st runner up than Neelam Gurung who was crowned the second runner up. Congratulations to the winners but everyone is a winner in their own way because I’m sure everyone has achieved something out of the competition and so did I.

THE TITLE HOLDERS 

This year I made my early journey to Aldershot to the finals of Miss UK Nepal 2011, but this year I hosted rather than took part. MISS UK NEPAL is a beauty pageant for young Nepalese girls to showcase their talent and beauty plus it helps to encourage beliefs and values of our rich culture and tradition.

I have always had a fascination for broadcasting. I love broadcasting live shows; I would say I am gregarious in the extreme and projecting my personality is my passion but one thing I never do and I know I should do is PREPARE before any event.

I went to the finals without knowing the programme schedule, without any rehearsals without knowing all the contestants oh plus not having met my co-host before, damn right unprofessional of me. Hosting a programme can be quite chaotic and stressful especially without any preparation beforehand and for the ones who came to the live finals you must be aware of all the technical hitches we had, they were countless.

Miss Uk Nepal has been the most challenging event, I have hosted so far. Normally I just introduce different acts to an audience which believe me is very easy anyone can do it, but this was a beauty pageant where I had to inform, entertain, plus cover all the sound system tantrums.

This experience has made me see hosting in a different way, has made me realise how important the words we use are. Throughout the show I kept making endless mistakes. CRINGE! Being spontaneous can be difficult sometimes plus when you are put on the spot in front of large audience it’s no time be rambling on about what they don’t want to hear and Oh yeah! Promising an act and presenting them a fill in all the time is A Big No! No! If I was an audience I would seriously be put off.

Overall it was a fantastic show; seeing the stunning contestants on stage and entertaining performances and I know the organisers have worked really hard for it and they everyone should be proud of what they have achieved. However I have to admit there were too many awkward gaps where the poor audience where left to wonder what’s happening.

As for me I am learning by relishing every hosting opportunity that I have received and I know I got to improve; the stage is not a place for mistakes rather I need to learn to make events even more exciting for my audience.
