Now in Bangalore

Doston,

As you all know that I moved to Bangalore in late 2006, I thought I'll update this blog just in case a random wanderer on the net hits this blog and don't start wondering that what the heck is going on since last post in Oct 06? :)

RD Burman show was a treat, I'm a big fan of RD Burman, I literally sang with almost all the songs I played on air. Also tried to squeeze a dozen or so songs in 1 hour.

Raj Ke Saath- Father's Day

I've been a bit slack in updating this blog but its all happening now. While it wasn't very easy to choose songs on this topic I manage to get some decent selection for our listeners I hope :) As usual last 3 programs can be downloaded from http://www.brisvaani.com/rajkesaath.html

The show went alright, I still don't feel that 100% that I want to bring it in the show. Still few mistakes, still want to improve the flow. I guess now its the matter of lots of practice and getting closer and closer to the point where I want to be.
Thanks a lot for all those requests there were some great songs complied together in this show and I feel myself that this 1 hour program can be on a CD it has some great all time hits... Started receiving your phone calls after the show from 6-6.30pm (Brisbane time) I did get few calls which was very encouraging. Phone number is +617 3279 1701. Also the whole show is available from http://www.brisvaani.com/rajkesaath.html

Raj Ke Saath- Shahrukh Khan

My second show on radio went much more smooth than the first one :) Well atleast no technical glitch this time..or should i say almost none...cos there was a very small one which i think most of the listeners missed!
Also happy to learn having new listeners for the show. Now I've started getting calls and emails from people outside my friend circle .. so far it was mostly my friends..well this was only second show.
I hope to improve myself further and include loads of interesting stuff over the time. We will have few "free meal deals" or "buy one get one free" deals coming up soon from local Brisbane merchandise for the people who send us their requests. If you have a business and would like to contact me in that regards please email me at brisvaani@brisvaani.com

Also working on getting all the recordings online so that people can stream it from the web in case they miss the live show. So watch the space :)
And the space is now ready :) but hurry up we can only have last 3 programs here http://www.brisvaani.com/rajkesaath.html

Pehli baar "Raj Ke Saath"

My first experience on the Radio was a good mix of everything... It had a good start..quite smooth and the way I expected ...but towards the end a technical glitch stumped me! I anounced my last song and that song refused to play :( That software we use here to play the songs just did something funny at that stage and didn't play the song! so there was like a silence of about say hmm 50secs or so..I was a bit panic what the hell was happening I had no clue so i quickly put another song but it spoiled the ending really :P I did a bit of joke and all that but it took away all I thought/prepared for the ending :P
But anyway it was just my first time. I came back and listened myself and realized there is lot of room for improvement...Its different from stage which is predominantly my experience.. I also felt that i didn't get involved in with lots of enthu..the voice was missing my usual chirp that i put in when I'm doing stage MC..anyway it was interesting..and I'm looking forward to my second live on radio ..
