Dear Readers,
Just when I am about to discard the radio for ever and become a disciple of the USB drive or the more upbeat and expensive source of music- the CD, the age old companion to tasteful ears, our beloved radio, doles out a song which can't be more apt for the occasion and the mood that one is in. I think it is this serendipity which keeps us listening to FM radio channels despite the loquacious chattering of idiotic RJ's who think they sound very charming the way they quack.
Imagine, you are driving back to home after a long day and are stuck in a horrible traffic jam where cars refuse to move forward. For a second, your eyes waver into the reddish-orangy glitter of endless tail-lights sending your heart into wonderland and as you sink into the memory of a smile, the radio plays that song from Lakshya movie, "kitni baatein yaad aati hain..." Or how do we feel when it is a glorious sunny day in the month of February and we are driving in the countryside or on a well-planted boulevard, and the sound of "Meri sanson main basa hai tera hi ek naam" from Bobby Deol's Barsaat gets into our eardrums? It announces the arrival of the real Valentine moment for new found love in flickering hearts!
We have to upload our choice of music into the pen-drive and in the CD too we know which track will play when. The thing with radio is you never have a clue about what is in store? The expectation of an exquisite match between your mood and the kind of song you would want to listen fuels our desire to keep on trying our luck and listening to the radio. It is a sort of gamble that many like me have become addicted to. Hence, I am giving in to the temptation again.....
