RJ for a day :)


"Your future depends on your dreams"
So go to sleep!!

Lols!! yes i did dream of being an RJ once and all thanks to RJ Rohith, in RJ terms rock star rohith who hosts a show on big 92.7 fm who made my dreams come true :)
30 may 2008, it was some where in the late evening,was on the way back home in my office cab,cool breeze hitting ma cheeks and soothing nice music which Rohith was playing which was slowly sliding me to sleep.Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaang! the phone rings. Hello? Am i speaking to miss poornima? the guy asks! i shook my head! Got my senses back and told myself..Wait a minute am talking over phone! Then told him "Yes, you are :)". He continues..."I am glad to tell you this...." there is a pause and i am curiously waiting to listen to the latter part of the sentence, and he goes on,.."Rohith asked me to call you up and you are the chosen lucky one who will be hosting the show for him tomorrow!" One jump i was flying in air.I was dumbstruck, no words to spell out. I was never that excited. I called up everybody i knew that i would be hosting a show the next day and do listen.

Back home i was dreaming only about the next day how it would be? how he would be? how would i talk? etc etc...I could not wait for tomorrow to come! i was restless and excited.
Its MORNIIING!!! Yippee! I was supposed to be in the radio station by 11. They are situated in koramangala,reliance energy building. I was ready within no time and was perplexed to which color dress to put on! black?? naa!! blue?? huuhuuu!! I pulled out almost all clothes from my wardrobe and finally decided PINK! yeah. So the pretty girl in pink said ta ta bye bye to dad and mom and left to fulfill her dream which was almost in her reach.
I met up one of my friends, Ajith, on the way who promised to take me there. It was somewhere around 9:45 and we were there :) sitting in the reception waiting for THE guy:) .I was experiencing mixed emotions.Whatever!! It was fun :)

At last he arrived :) my eyes were wide open with excitement while he shook his hands with mine! I was eclipsed by silence without which i would chatter and chatter and chatter and would go on and on and on and on and on....

The RJ, asked us to wait in the room where the shows are hosted. Damn!! It was mind blowing! I heard from him that the equipment costs 3 crore and trust me their job is the toughest job on earth. There are so many damn buttons on that thingy and you are gone if you mess up with a single button. It more looked like he is a pilot and me and Ajith were co-pilots. Pilot?? yeah true i was flying really :) The show was supposed to be on air between 5 and 9 in the evening. But we recorded the show to help me also listen to myself. All thanks to Rohith for his generosity. It was "anti-tobacco day", and there we go asking people what message they would like to give smokers on that day :) I was asked initially, when the show started and when i was introduced. I said "they should write their loved ones name on the cigar and that's enough they would not be found smoking again" sounded too sentimental right?? but still its all to impress people ;)

He asked me to call my friends and relatives who would like to go on air. I called my jiju, my friends, Chandrashekar,Girish and few more. All gave their views for the day. The time did not stop ticking how much ever i pleaded it not to and it was time for me to leave the studio :( With great difficulty i walked out hoping to come back soon :(

All three of us went and had juice and chatted for sometime and left the place looking at the same building till it faded amidst other buildings and trees. Sent a gentle reminder to everybody to listen to "the show". I was literally jumping with excitement to listen to myself talk on air. The excitement was all over when i popped myself on to bed with the sweet memories still running in me mind, slowly sliding into sleep, hoping for the next day to come with new hopes and dreams.
The sun arose the next morning :( there should be a better way to start a day than waking up every morning!! right friends?? if you have any such ideas do tell me :)
