Radio Ga Ga!!

Doesn’t radio rekindle the feeling of nostalgia? Do I sound like a 50 year old woman??
I was born in the era when radio still had its charm and television was getting there…and during my formative years in school, radio was lost in the shadow of TV watching…but its back with a big bang!!! :)

I love listening to Take off and MMH in AIR-102.6 and other shows that plays English music here, since you seldom get to hear them in other channels, who are too busy re- repeating (if I can use this newly created word) the same old Hindi songs from new movies…its different here…

Well, I recently started pitching in with requests mainly in PKJ’s shows to listen to my fave songs and it’s a great feeling when your name is called out…frankly I feel like a 7 year old again .

What is so wonderful about the radio is that it is enigmatic…voices taking over and you start imagining how the person would look like…faces are unknown and you recognise the RJs with their silky, husky, sexy voices…can you ever get that anywhere else? I love this secrecy about them, since they are not all over the place like TV soap stars and are known for their work rather than their spats and affairs!
RJs you rock!!! And I bet so many of us are dying to be one :)

Rock On!

Breaking barriers...Obama WINS!


"I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.

And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:

My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,

From every mountainside, let freedom ring!

And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true."

Finally, Martin Luther King's dream has turned into a REALITY!!

For generations, people lived in despair because of apartheid, prayed for a better life and died with the hope that the future generation will be better off...and finally today, HISTORY is made and Democracy is finally exuberant..that people have voted and got what they wished for and for what their ancestors fought for...

Obama's win is not only the victory of the blacks, but of all those in every part of the world who are suffering from the hierarchies of caste, religion, region and colour...it is time for all of us to turn our wishes and dreams into reality by VOTING for the person we feel deserves it! Its time to be optimistic and think about others...

With the hope that Obama will be successful in fulfilling the wishes of the millions in the USA and the aspirations and hopes of the billions like us...I wish him all the best!!! Hope he changes the course of the USA and plays a catalytic role in bringing peace and harmony in warring zones...

Rock On OBAMA!!!

Just a thought

Great people are for what they do,
Greatest are those for how they feel...

Rock On!! :)

Time heals as time moves on…

Mad confusion in my head

As I feel my soul leaving me like sand from my hand

I try to clutch it like a hungry animal

Hungry for love, hungry for life,

Hungry to be with myself

But time runs faster than me

The world seems to be a monster

Devouring us every minute

Draining our soul, making it lifeless

As a fallen tree rests on parched earth

Trying to get up, to regain its spirits

I try to fool the darkness of the night

But fear in my heart accompanies me

The night overhauls my destiny

I cry in anguish, in pain, in hope

And I feel defeated, efforts futile

Then I hear people say-

Time heals as time moves on
