Today morning, in Radio City's Breakfast Show (one of the FM radio stations in Bangalore), the RJ was in a festive mood due to their sixth anniversary celebrations. Have the private FMs been around that long? A lot of people were calling in to say that they have been listening to this station right from day one. Every one was full of praises for the service and the RJs. Of course the callers will be rewarded with gift hampers today.
One person said he tunes in every day in the morning because it helps him to start the day in a very positive way. I wondered how. There must be some program on air every morning that conveys a positive note.
Then there was an item about funny rejoinders by 'Vasudev' who speaks as if he is about to have a bout of severe cough...all he said was " every rose has its thorns, every idli has its sambar...ha ha ha..." I seriously tried to look for a positive note in the idli as well as the sambhar. Is he trying to say 'everyone has his match'... or is it 'there is someone for everyone?'
Immediately the next segment began... Uncle Appukuttan Nair. This was something. I don't remeber the entire dialogue but this is somewhat close to what went on:
'Every one comes to Appukuttan Ungle! for advice...be it marriage or migraine...Siddiq had a problem with his girlfriend and she refused to sit on his bike. Siddiq was heart broken when he came to me. I told him, life is like a roller coaster. There will be ups and downs, alle? I told him, forget the smaller issues and look at the larger picture. You will not have any problems in life. Simble, no?' Now, that's a sound advice :)
Appukuttan then sang a couple of lines from hindi film songs ... pyar mein kabhi kabhi aisa hi hota hai...He did a fairly nice job. He continued, 'when I next saw Siddiq he was very happy driving around with his girl friend and cuddling upto her on the park bench. Always ask Appukuttan Ung(c)le, no?'
The delivery was loaded with a typical accent, you have already guessed which one, right?...very soft and easy...nice one.
Immediately after this another caller thanked the station for helping him clear his Engineering exams. Now, how did they do that? Even the RJ was a bit surprised!
Whatever they had achieved in the last six years, right now I am having a good time in the morning traffic.
