I've almost completely stopped listening to the radio due to three factors:<br />1. Non stop trying-to-be-funny blabber<br />2. Too may advertisements per song<br />3. Too may repetitions of the same song with very few to negligible options.<br /><br />Whatever happened to surprising you with new songs on music programmes rather than putting the same 10 songs in random order.<br /><br />Unfortunately same thing with TV these days with both songs and movies. No surprises, reruns and reruns of rerruns for more than a month.Jash Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05870205833267794960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448826246441223750.post-60075713705639573132014-07-03T18:22:39.017+10:002014-07-03T18:22:39.017+10:00Awww...loved this post.

We didn't get Metro at our place. :(<br />I didn't listen to any radio, but we had cassettes of English songs. MJ, Boney M, Aqua and Vengaboys and some more which I don't know. These are the oldest set of songs I have heard. Always remind me of those wonderful days we spent. :)Enigmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493227535380593586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448826246441223750.post-29935658904776535892014-07-01T19:36:12.153+10:002014-07-01T19:36:12.153+10:00:) this reminded me of childhood days , we did not...:) this reminded me of childhood days , we did not have a tv .. and then i came to hostel in school and thats where I saw TV for the first time :) properly ... we had that BIG huge RADIO .. in my grandfathers room .. and we would listen to it when he allowed us :) <br /><br />but year doordarshan was the IN Thing in those days although i must say it did a GOOD job tooo and had some lvoely programs <br /><br /><a href="http://mannbikram.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow"> Bikram</a>Bikramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320753339263375295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448826246441223750.post-71810920053615584562014-07-01T18:00:51.089+10:002014-07-01T18:00:51.089+10:00Ooh how I miss listening to the Radio myself.
