Goooood Morning Bangalore! -- Vasanthi sans Radio City isn't fun!

I don't know her neither she does me.. i have never met her neither has she ever...
So What is it that binds these two unknowns?...Its the common passion we share -- Music..
My fav voice on air has the name Vasanthi (RJ for the --'Breakfast show' on Radio City Bangalore, every morning)... Itz been years listening to her style and choice.. And this morning as she announced her departure.. something pushed me into the 'will miss you..' ditch. The jhanvi of Munna bhai.. is her mirror with the punch line 'Goooooooooooo..ooODD morning Bangalore' twisted to fit Mumbai.



Life, after my advent into this city of dreams in 1999 was primarily occupied with books... untill Radio city came along .. filling the city skies with melodies for all.. Latest bollywood numbers, oldies, english blues, rock, jaaz -- 24/7. As a student my roomie owned this small hand made radio.. an object of Research by Dissection! The moment you touch it, it used to go into the most annoying radio vocal.. Jhzzzzzzzzzzz .. !!! yet, it served as the perfect mate to wake up with in the morning and go to bed with... After college when I could afford a mobile phone the only chosing criteria was not surprisingly one with FM ! The ride to office was perfect.

Books, movies and Songs are easily correlated to ones state-of-mind and circumstances..
Say an 'Andekhi Anjani si..' while I was waiting for my love of life...
'AAj mei upar..aasmaa niche ..' when passed an exam
'Phoolon ka taron ka..' and the heart goes out to my siblings..
'Wo sikandar hi kehlata hai.. ' the never-failing-to-boost-morale number..

Music has always hit me hard and radio has been the most prominent one to bash.

Come 2006 and the air was swarming with new stations -- R-Mirchi, R-One, Indigo .. 11 of them competing to match my wavelengths but 'The Morning and Vasanti' combi remained 'fresh' and
hitting as ever !

Remember a day when she played 'Kuch toh hua hai.. kuch ho gaya hai..' and me was all swaying out of my bus letting the morning wind touch my hair and elsewhere rising spirits.. rendering smiles :)

and there are scores and more of such close-to-heart moments .. instilling into my memories and imaginations ..

Nevertheless she is a lady of substance with having represented the Nation of a Billion at an Young leaders' summit.

Aptly selected email id shez got 'sunshine@....'
A BIGG 'Thanks' for being that bit of bright ray of all the shine in my life...!

As they say.. the only thing permanent in life is CHANGE.. though tough I will embrace this one too.. with a wish... 'Rock on and keep spreading ur Vasanthiness! Good Luck !!"
