Radio Gaga

Last night, I was listening to the radio. More than songs, I am interested in what the radio jockeys say. The private radio channels are around two decades old. Before, it was only government channels. 

I come from a lower-middle-class family. Private radio channels opened a new door to me. The kind of shows that were airing was cool by my standards. The more conversational radio jockeying was more approachable to the new-age audience. 

I heard the first jingle, radio ads during that time. I used to listen to the radio for around 10-12 hours a day. However, one thing that caught my attention at that time is the Friday night shows. Few channels air club music on Fridays. It started that time. I was around 16-17 and had never been to a club. The mixed songs were new to me. I got hooked on it. I was unable to pay for visiting a club, but those songs helped me not to feel bad about it.

I still listen to Friday night's non-stop mix songs to get the feeling that I'm inside a club.
