I had the best time doing my edutainment show on KUOI 89.3 FM last year.. It ran almost for an year, i wouldn't have wake up on sunday mornings if i was not provided with the motivation needed. Thanx for the support from my friends, fellow jockeys and last but not the least my fiance and my complete family who woke up every Sunday night India time to listen to my show..
I still remember the first time i did my show, i was really very nervous and tensed to talk, i din know what i was talking and gave long breaks before i played a song.. But it soon changed and i got the flow to talk by the end of my third show.. I experimented a lot both on the entertainment aspect where i tried to play really old classical and relatively new indian music. Played anything and everything Indian from Md.Rafi's classics to Ishq bector's hip hop. I got a chance to explore music from languages i dint know, i played songs from English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi and Bengali. Loved every minute i was on air.. I even tried to experiment by adding some enviro quotes, sayings and talking once in a while about sustainability,pollution etc.. I always wanted to make my show an edutainment show..
The show has given me confidence to talk and satisfaction of doing something interesting in life.. I had the amazing opportunity to talk about international events happening around campus, interviewed Glenn of International friendship association promoting "Cruise the world". The best part was playing the cupid and passing on love messages with romantic numbers on air.. I loved the way how people i hardly know started requesting songs and the best part was when i used to get calls on my show from people i never spoke saying how they like my show and how they tune in every Sunday to listen to it..
Anyways all good things come to an end, my show did too.. i was told by the radio director that it was one of the most heard shows, which only makes me to revamp and start the show some day..
