My Musical Hummings!!!

If its asked, which is the only Universal Language of the World, then I am quite sure that the answer thats ready to usher from everyone of ours throat is MUSIC indeed. Classically the development of music among humans must have taken place against the backdrop of natural sounds such as birdsong and the sounds other animals use to communicate. However the interpolation of music now-a-days has undergone a sea change. The chirping of birds have been reduced to the humming of electric synthesizers and the animalistic growls feel depressing when compared to the roar of drums, perhaps this is what man has turned itself into, ARTIFICIAL.

Music to me has been a perennial source of motivation, care, romance and to a certain extent a partner, who although doesn't share her presence with me, however is still so much inside me that its hard for even air to pass through my breath, without touching her brows or making her sharing my warmth. And to add to these tones ordered horizontally as melodies, and vertically as harmonies, we have some ever remembered Lyrics.

Words as they say, are all we have to take anyone's heart away, and when words compliment music, it breaks all language barriers and pleases the soul within. As far as my personal preference goes I have always loved soft rock, country, blues and yes Kishore Kumar. Naturally an addiction to these gives you an altogether new meaning for existence, however in my case have served me well in bringing me close to my own personality, my likes and dislikes, has helped me choose the right people in my life, have restored tranquility and helped me deal with loneliness.

I am pretty sure that each one of us has got their own interpolation of this widely used term, what I will like, is you, trying to figure out your passion and personify it into a living identity and then just see how simple a form life transforms into with an inanimate companion.

For me Music has been my most sought after friend, guide and yes a omnipresent companion, rather "Something in which I found Someone", hope you too find out something for yourself. Keep Looking and C Ya Soon...

My Second Life!!!

I remember of sharing with u that I am currently enjoying my life being an RJ as well, u know as in Radio Jockey. There has been a lot of if's and but's that I have thought before joining this trade... naaa.. I am just kidding as soon as I got the job I was all warmed up and ready to get going. I always knew that my future for sure didn't have me sitting infront of a computer and writing programs or increasing there efficiency, though I still spend a lot of time infront of my computer doing far more interesting jobs (certainly I am :)).

More ever me getting into this creative field is something that stars have to be thanked for. I absolutely had no intention and it was quite a co incidence for me to sit for the interview in the first place. I want to elaborate on that, but decide to keep it for sometime else. There has been such a deep impact on my life ever since I started up as an RJ, that I still am not able to think me passing over it in the near future. But for the time being I am enjoying every bit of it.

There have been so many youngsters that have asked me about the fundamentals of being an RJ that now I decide to help some of you on this regard. To start up with there is basically so little of theory that is there for being an RJ, that it is often very very difficult to teach, and I just think about the institutes who offer professional courses in this field and think that they act as great seducers to tempt the newbies to take up their course. But "Straight from the Horse's Mouth", I would tell you one thing that its absolutely unnecessary to waste your time in falling for these things. If you ask me there are three things that is absolutely necessary for one trying to get into this field :

1. A passion for speaking may be just chit chat or speeches or debates, but has to be pretty well reasoned.

2. Common Sense and an Idea of what is going on in the world in and around.

3. And most importantly interaction with the masses, because 90% of stations across India and somewhat more in other Countries deal with Listener Interaction.

If you lack in any one of these fields, brother, start improving right away, or better start looking somewhere else. But if you are really average in all three of them, the goal is mostly achieved and now you can start honing your skills by having some practical knowledge.

I found some information about the radio base in India from this site and thought that it would help you, do have a look : http://www.asiawaves.net/ .
