I listen to a lot of Radio Indigo, especially while driving. Also, somewhere within is this motor-mouth monster waiting to be unleashed; this monster will be unleashed only on the radio by the way.
I have always envied RJs. What a cool job I think, whenever I listen to them. They get to play cool songs, they have "fans", ofcourse they do and their voices are recognised; you see I can be a star and not go through a strict diet regimen. I will be able to order pork chops and beef steaks and need not order fashionably small portions of the "garden salad".
One Monday evening I was listening to Barker (yes, that's his last name!) on the Radio and he said that people could send in their selection of songs, why they want to play them and get to be on the show. The monster in me was lashing around uncomfortably, for a moment I was almost possessed. So I sent in my songs and I got called in two days.
I went in for the recording and pretended to be cool. Yeah, so I was talking too much, trying to suppress my wide grin and was keeping my ever rotating head in check. The recording room was awesome. And I sat in what I would like to assume to be Barker's seat. The feeling was great.
I was prepared with my lines and thought I would blow Bangalore away with my wit. And then I started talking.
I was fumbling, slurring, and there were these odd tribal sounds coming out of my mouth. Gargi (who I am assuming is a producer), was patiently waiting for some coherable English to spill out of me. She was nice actually, and she could probably see that the huge microphone in front of me was making me nervous.
In about twenty minutes I was done. I had forgotten dedications to my family and some of my close friends, but the whole deal was done. Barker came in (courtesy call), shook my hand and told me to tune in on Monday, 10th March.
I was feeling exhilarated (if people still use that word to express their feelings!)
So on Monday, a few of my buddies and I got together, went for a drive and there I was, Live on the Radio. "Hi, you're listening to me Kavisha on the Drive Home Takeover on Cruise Control"
