In the year 1989 I was a fresh graduate. Radio was the only mode of entertainment at home those days. We did not have a television back then. Listening to the radio provided so much entertainment that even today I reminisce the golden era of Bollywood songs I grew up listening to. Daddy would scan channels trying to search for Radio Ceylon which aired English music on weekends. Even the sounds of that the set made while streaming between frequencies was mesmerizing. I remember how long the set would take to heat up before actually playing a song and even after switching it off it would still play till the led lights faded out. From then on, radio and its charm has never dimmed in my life till today. I was lucky enough to be selected by All Indi Radio as a Casual Announcer and once again my dream came true of entering and being a part of the radio charisma. Vividhbharti was the only Indian channel playing music on Medium Wave. Music and TRP was so centralized. I used to read those little handwritten pale yellow post cards sent in from listeners from the 10:30 PM show called. "Apki Farmayish". Radi Duniya was and is still an enchanting world in itself ...for me at least.
