Dear Readers,
These days I have become a regular listener to Nilesh Mishra on his mesmersing show, Yadon ka Idiot Box on Big FM. It happens so invariably that I return back from work while he is on air. The fact that he can sustain our interest in this age of superfast media with his simple and earthly stories suggests that he is gifted with a unique talent of holding his audience in rapt attention.
His voice is very captivating and soothing at the same time. He knows how to sound potent without being loud whereas, at the same time, he can sound encouraging while at the lowest pitch of his voice. His diction flaunts charm and panache but does not lose the essence of a Hindi speaking son of the soil. No wonder he lends the very same tinge to the stories he narrates.
Speaking of the stories,(while giving due credit to the authors) one can find a true reflection of our society and the nation in them. As a liked-to-be-called-cinema buff, I feel disgusted to watch repetitive stories set up in exotic foreign locales bearing not even a remote resemblance to an ordinary life here in India. In this case, it is such a heart rendering experience to hear tales which seem to have been unfolded right before our own eyes. We can relate to these stories without much effort. Kudos to this appeasing creativity spurting out of desi genius. It is a delight to be a citizen of the Yaad Shahar....
