Did anyone get stuck in a gargantuan traffic jam in Dadar / Andheri / Vashi ? Or are you simply fed up of the constant bickering of your companion on phone or the endless honking of the Buses, cars and Auto-wallas? Radio ,iPods amd MP3s are the answer to most of your problems!For the daily middle-class commuter, who makes use of the Public transport for commuting, the journey can be really harassing and energy sapping. Constant exposre to lound noise can take away a person's peace of mind, rendering him blank!! It disturbs a person emotionally and mentally making him more irritable.
Thanks to the technological revolution, we have a few devices in which we can store songs of our own choice and listen to them whenever we want to. Radio specially is an amazing thing that happened to this world, since radio stations play not only songs, but also have a steady flow of conversation related to a chosen topic. This leads every individual to at least "think" about that topic, even if they don't call up the radio station to express their views publically.Not only this, it provides emplyoment opportunity to many, and can often be used as means to unite people for a common cause. With a wide spectrum of Radio stations coming up, targetting different age groups / causes, everyone can find at least something to their liking. I, as an individual, feel that the city's RJs are doing a great job, and are instrumental in bringing a smile on thousands of people's faces everyday. Kudos to them!!

yaay... i wanted this list ... :)
Radio has defined childhood memories of many like me.I still remember listening to Keisha Lobo's show on wednesday nights at 107.1 FM.She has the sweetest voice in this whole wide world.Can't forget those awesome shows she presented.Really takes me back to those beautiful days when i hear her on cnbc.Its amazing how little things can have long lasting print in your life.
So true! I used to survive on radio in a land where everything on Television was dubbed in a foreign language, except for a few shows on the Radio which were in English. The shows were truly Godsent!!! Sigh......
