good morning chennai!


usually when i am alone on tours out of the country or in the country, it has become quite an habit, i get up in the morning and the first thing is start the radio on my mobile. i tune into some good english/hindi/marathi songs channel, set it on external speakers with max volume possible and start the day. i enjoy listening to music, specially when all alone. it does make my day.

i remember till mid mid 80’s, radio was the only source of entertainment at my home. he use to get up before me and sleep after me, THE RADIO! that friendship is still not broken, you see.

i havn’t been able to do that in CHENNAI. there are no other language radio channels in chennai other than “TAMIL” !!! not even an english channel !!! forget about other regional languages of india.

note: please carry your ipod or discman if you are planning to come to chennai on tour.

compared to the television media, the radio has not evolved even 10% in india, i feel. i liked the concept of WORLD SPACE satellite radio, but i think that is too bulky for today’s technology.

i wish satellite radio in mobiles comes to india soon. till then its “KAALAY WANAKUM!"
