Talking Talking

Radio Jhankaar is perhaps the best bollywood radio station out there! Today, it just kept playing my favorite tracks! Sample this — Pathshala from Rang De Basanti, title track of Dil Chahta Hai, Tumhi Dekho Na from KANK, Bum Bum Bole from Taare Zameen Par, Lamha Lamha from Ganster, O Re Piya from Aaja Nach Le, Khabar Nahi from Dostana… The list goes on!

Unlike some of my friends (read: Mohnish), I’ve grown up listening to bollywood music. I still have a formidable collection of audio cassettes to back this up! (Though with the advent of MP3, this collection is a little obsolete )

I’d heartily welcomed the private FM channels when they’d made an appearance in Delhi. However, these days they aren’t quite up to the mark. They provide us with mindless blabber, and have a habit of playing the same track fifteen times a day — so much so that after some days, even the little sound of that wretched track becomes a pain in the ass!

Radio Jhankaar is a different equation altogether. No Ads, No Blabber, No Chattering, and No Repitition. Their track selection is awesome… Not only do they play the latest hits, they also play the choicest songs from the byegone era (read: tracks older than a year or two). In short, listening to Jhankaar is a pleasant experience. 

Radio Jhankaar is available on Channel 46 on the WorldSpace Network, and they haven’t paid me to write this.
