Rab ne banadi jodi!!!!

Ok after the famous (*wink*) review of Dil kabaddi...i know u must be waiting for this movie...and so without any further delay here i present RAB NE BANADI JODI!!!
Now most of my friends know that i dont like SRK (as an actor...i somehow don't like him) but there is one thing that i always do..i watch almost ALL his movies first day first show.Somehow this is a habit (yeah im a big bollywood fan if u still haven't got that).And i had decided i had to watch this movie coz it was Adi chopra's direction and had SRK in it.

Yesterday in a interview to a new channel SRK said "Me and adi think that this is Rab's (God) movie and he has made this movie so we have not promoted it as much as we should do."I thought wow this is surprising and also i should watch this movie.So i decided to book tickets and send messages to RJ Rakesh pleading him to book tickets.At first he said "8 tickets!!!Difficult Pallu..its first day first show"(This was my first sign).Then he got it done (Wat a dahling he is!!!)
and i was sooper thrilled.I started calling all my friends to ask who woulod join me for the movie.Believe it or not...not one friend of mine was ready to come. and my forever movie partner had to ditch me coz he had broken his leg..the rest of them had all vague reasons (This was my second sign).Finally the famous 8 were ready for the movie(I will not bore u with the other details).
The D day..12th december 2008
My voice was completely gone and i was unable to get up early in the morning(This was my third sign)...and somehow left home being sure that i will miss the starting AGAIN!!!On the way car met with a small accident(This was my fourth sign)....But finally i reached the cinema hall 40 mins late!!!!
I asked Vijay (ma friend and great SRK fan) howz the movie...he smiled and somehow i knew i was in for a surprise...by the time i entered the changed SRK was on screen...and trust me by the end of the interval i was glad i missed the starting 40 mins.
I knew the Rab himself gave me 4 signs to get away from the torture but no i had to watch it!!!!
As usual i will not tell u the story (actually almost all know what the story is!!!)but i will tell u wat not to look out for:
1.A different love story (It has the usual arranged marriage-no love between the two-something to create love and chemistry kinda story)
2.The usual SRK comedy(I've never got so irritated with punjabi jokes as much i have got with this movie...and i think SRK cant pull off the irritating punjanbi act)
3.Chemistry between SRK and the herione(It's just not part of the story duh!!!)
4.Good locales (No romantic song so no switzerland!!!)
Over all i think the movie is a total waste of 150/-
But just in case u have to watch the movie coz u really HAVE TO watch a bollywood movie ill also tell u what u can look out for :
1.Anushka's salwar (I think its really beautiful)
2.A lesson on what kind off dressing style does not suit men (Both the avataar's of SRK in the movie are bad)
3.Also a lesson on how bad a couple can look when a 40 year old is married to (oops cast opposite) a 19 year old.
4.Some dostana kind off jokes between bobby (Vinay pathak) and Suri/Raj (SRK)
5.Good songs and choreography (especially the hum hain rahi pyar ke song)
6.Free sight seeing of Amritsar.
7.Finally Japan (yeah u have to watch the entire movie TILL THE END to know why)

So if u really are a HUGE HUGE SRK fan maybe you will like the movie....but if ur a bollywood fan its a disappointment...For me two out of three khans have failed to create any kind of cinema magic im just waiting for the final one to release.

Oh yeah also after this movie Japan Government has decided to award SRK with the highest citizenship award for promoting tourism through this movie :-)
Now why am i saying this ul know if u have the patience to sit through this movie like me.
(PS:If u really wanna watch the movie completely go with a huge SRK fan...why???Go and you will understand)
So all the best to watch the movie and until my next movie hum hain rahi pyar ke..phir milenge..chalte chalte
(PS :If ur thinking why i have changed the last line of my blog then let me tell u this is one bad side effect of watching this movie :-)
Barla!!!!

Dil Kabaddi!!!

Thats right when i was completely bored yesterday i decided i had to watch a movie and then veda (Our producer) said that there are some tickets for tomo's show (okie now its a little confusing naah!!!yesterday was 4th dec and tomo is 5th dec okie).The tickets were for the first day first show for the movie dil Kabaddi!!!I thought what a weird but funny name.Then i realised this movie stars my two Fav stars- Konkana sen and Rahul bose and that too together!!!
(Wow another Mr and Mrs Iyer maybe is a pyar ke side effects kinda movie..i was sooper excited).I was supposed to give those tickets on air immediately at 7 coz the show was at 10 (okie now technically i knew not many would come and pick the tickets at 7 in the night so i was sure to get atleast 2 tickets!!!yipee!!!)
I gave them away on fataafat kusti and voila almost all of them agreed to come and collect the tickets at 11 in the night also (Damn!!!).But then i was expecting atleast one person not to come and voila at 11 in the night i got the call from reception...our very sweet security Mr.Ravi called and said 'Madam tickets ide neevu hogthira beligge???'.
At 11 in the night i started to call friends who were ready to come and my obvious first choice is my forever movie partner my bro Abhi.We agreed we'll go and pretty happy that i was going to see Rahul and konkana i slept.
The next morning!!!
Movie is at 10 and since 7 in the morning im using the snooze button in the mobile and trying to wake up.Finally at 8 30 i decided to get out and was at PVR at 10:20.BUt then the free tickets are not so easy to get u see.The manager made us go about one entire turn and then finally i entered the movie hall at 10:30 (Damn!!!Im always late!!!Missed half hour of a 2 hour movie)
As soon as i entered i saw Soha ali khan and the guy who was Kabir's friend in Chak de India (Sorry i forgot his name both in real and reel life)...anyways i once turned back and asked whether we were in the correct movie hall!!!yeah we were and i thought 'wow soha looks nice but is acting weird though'.Anyways sat and thoroughly yenjoyed the movie.
Now this movie is about relationships and marriage.Its actually about urban marriages.Relationships between husband and wife,Extra marital affairs,Crushes with students wayyy below their age,Infactuatuions,Cheating on spouses,flirting and finally getting back to the place where they belong.This movie has everything that is there in a bad marriage or should i say wrong marriage.
Now what is the story of the movie im not gonna tell u but as i said the movie contains all the above elements in it!!!U should watch the movie for these reasons:
1.What will happen if u try and control ur husbands every move.
2.What will happen if u try and have an extra marital affair and that too with a bimbo
3.What will happen if u try and suspect everything that ur husbands does and says
4.What will happen if u have a crush on someone way out of ur league.
Now lets talk about performances:
Rahul Bose :Great actor but no scope for his acting in this movie.BUt as an art teacher no one else could have played it better than him.And yeah as usual he kisses even in this movie but surprisingly not konkana but some chick who is supposed to be 21.
Konkana sen Sharma : She is a perfect actress .She has potrayed a role which is true.I mean most women are like her ( i mean the role she has played in the movie SIMI).U should watch the movie atleast for that.The director has put all the women characters in one woman Simi.
Irrfan Khan: Very very irritating in the movie.Maybe coz i dint like the character he played in the movie.Very bad.
Soha ali Khan : Looks very pretty and yeah acted also well.She is a typical house wife (bharatiya naari kinds)who forgives her husband even though he has had an extra marital affair and refuses to talk to her in public.I mean who does such things now yaar.
Payal Rohatgi: My god if u think she was irritating and sad in Bigg boss she has beaten that character with this character called Kaya.Man Irfan is the perfect Rahul for her (In the movie i mean).She is just plain IRRITATING.And she looks like a perfect hrrr (u know what im trying to say naah!!).Man i hate her even more now.
There are some more characters in this movie and i dont think they are that important to discuss but yeah that 21 year ols raaga in the movie has inspired me with a new look.I should get a nose ring soon.It looks good and the people who wanna look arty (yeah like the art and theatre and play types) should take a look at her.She looks good and looks arty too....So in the end i would say what irrfan said in the movie ( Actually i would rephrase it a bit )
Writing for the sake of writing is bad!!!!
Now what did he say in the movie which sounds like this.....u should watch it urself.

Until i see the next movie...this is Pallavi saying Barlaa!!!!
And BTW Abhi hated the movie..he said navagraha (Kannada) was much better than this...Abhi commonnnnnn

Car Pooling!!!

U know i think a year ago we saw a small article on TOI about car pooling and that time i thought this was a brilliant idea.I mean a person who made this thinks about bangalore so much.Hats off to Mr.Vipul..i still remember his photograph(he sitting inside a car).That day i even put him on air..and asked him some questions about car pooling.Thats when Pavi came up with a great idea of doing the entire car pooling event on air..We even did it for 2 weeks....but after that the fizz was out...not many banglorians are open to the idea (not that they have changed now).


Then as usual complaining about traffic every single day...yelling at Police and ofcourse yelling at others continued and increased day to day!!!U know if one person has to go a small shop which is 200 mts away they use a car.People go to gym to be fit and they use their car ( Cant they just walk and finish the warm up) not only that a lot of peolpe who go to parks and lakes for walk also come by car and then start walking (again cant they walk and finish it there).I mean everyone is adding to the problem ( but no one wants to accept it!!Oie enough gyaan!!!)


Today we have made an attempt to decongest the city(ditto copy from our studio liner).Actually its a choice that we have given to all...u wanna use it or not its completely left to u but then the choice is given.Thats car pooling.Instead of 4 people who go to the same office from almost the same place using 4 cars we give them a platform to get together and use only one car.With this we are helping from our end to cut the traffic down.

Its a superb idea..atleast for a short term until the metro is done and we have nice public transport system (atleastthats wat our additional commissioner of Police said ).We can make new friends and have fun while driving.NOt only that a lot can be saved...first energy (coz one week only u have to drive in a month if u have 3 others)..then money (u spend just about 14rs per lt petrol instead of 57rs) and then stress levels will also come down.Wow all of this with just one small initiative...man internet rocks.

Now i know that no one can car pool with me coz my timings is a little odd but nontheless i have registered and hoping one more person will come along.The rest of u common login to www.commuteeasy.com and register...Who knows maybe ur next friend is waiting for u!!!!

Until our next CSR this is Pallavi saying Barla!!!!

The Day i met Kapil Dev

Yeah i know a dream come true for a true cricket fan.The day is today.21st November 2008.My dad called and asked if the news was true.So did my bro and even my next door uncle.Everyone was super excited that i was meeting the man who was solely resposible for the great world cup win (i know i know i was not even born then..).All of us were getting ready to meet him.I was a little disappointed that he was not on my show....but then its ok i still got to talk to him.The bats,balls and stumps were ready!!!Arrey not for a match but for his autograph(i remembered the scene in Iqbal movie when we were asking him to sign) and so was the cake for him.
Finally after a lot of wait he arrived!!
Wat a personality..as he was walking the only thing i was thinking is" he is the man..he is just THE MAN".Yeah as a official welcome we all clapped for him as he walked and gave him a bompu horn welcome also (yeah radio one is wacky).He was just taken aback and he asked 'is everything ok?'
Yeah those were the first words of his...wow..he should have been on radio instead(very very husly voice..remember the Palmolive ad???).Then he headed straight to the studio for the Interview with Pavithra.
Very sweety he answered all the questions and very humbly he answered all the questions.
I will try and post all the answers in the next blog but one answer i remember is this:
Pavi : Who is the one cricketer that u like the most now?
KD: In the present team i really like Dhoni.The reason is simple he just does wat his heart tells him to do.He is very passionate about the game and is very humble and honest.
Wow a great cricketer just like him talking so high about another crciketer..u dont see such things nowadays.The thing that i loved about paaji is he was also very very honest about all that he said.
U know Pavi said namaskaara bengaluru in one link and he asked why begaluru and not bangalore.I mean we were all arguing with him saying its for good...and the only thing he said in the end was this "we are all Indians first and thats wat we need to believe.Its bigger than anything else including religion.Dont force anyone to do anything.Live and let live
(I can still hear all the things that he said in my head.)Why dont you all start a debate as to wat we want Bangalore to be called as.You do have the most important tool.Voice and people who listen to you".
We all had nothing to say.And the he just said no matter wat u cant convince me.But thats wat we are.We allow people to push us to limits.What he said was absolutely right.At that point i thought he is not only a great cricketer but also a great human being.
Then we continued asking him some fun questions like whom he wants to kiss on world kiss day and he sang a song for us Kiss kiss kisse pyar karoon (And we played it!!!).How he bowled his wife over and loads of other questions.After that we atlast let him go (though we dint want to).
Not before we all stood with him for a photograph and even though i made it very clear i needed a single photo with him everyone came and stood beside me (jealous!!!!).
WE then made him cut a cake and that time i stood with him for a photograph.I even told him that i am the official cake cutter in the company.So he made me cut the cake with him..very very sweet man who hates sweet by the way and loves samosas(damn wat a day not to get them)!!
But then it was a great time with a great man...Would love to meet him again!!!
So until we meet again and i write again this is Pallavi saying ba bye!!!
(Yeah yeah i am a RJ how else would u expect this to end??)

Coorg Trip Part 2






Now this weekend im again going to coorg so i thought before that ill write wat happend in the house.U see now i belong to a family called mandetira(yeah thats the name and i am a coorgi oopss kodavati now).I thought a family filled with people maybe a max of 10 or 15 people might turn up.But i was in for a shock.The entire family living was there to welcome me in the family and i was very very happy.I was told that the older aunts and uncles are very very strict (atleast that was the case in my family) but i was in for a surprise.Almost 50 people of all ages were there.They cooked and spoke and me being the new entry just sat and sat and sat and also looked at them and smiled when i understood atleast a little of wat they were talking.God it was so boring sitting and doing absolutely nothing.

Thats when it struck to me about the book i had in the car.Richard Branson's biography"how i lost my virginity"(Yeah the title sounds bizzare but its an awesome book read it if u have not).So i sat down reading that book and thats when they also realised that i was getting bored and decided to give me a tour.In madikeri there is a lot to see.So i went and saw pigs(yeah yeah they are bred at home)and coffee estates where oranges,sweetlimes and pepper is grown.Trust me they thought people from bangalore are dumb and have not seen anything but buildings.And i could do nothing but listen and nod my head(actually i was also laughing inside when they showed me a dog and said "see see Pallavi thats a dog ").
By the time i was back cooking was done and man the entire family got together for the pooja.I was amazed when i dint see a poojari.I thought he was somewhere in the room but no the pooja was not the elaborate one.The head of the family just spoke a few words and offerred food and drink to god and then it was over.Now time to drink and eat and how can i forget dance.
This is kodava culture and they seem very very happy about this.Everything is just so different here(Including the way they drink coffee they dont drink filter coffee and no idea wat that means).No matter wat happens there are always there for the family members.And not to forget the food is soooo yummy.
Having met so many people all together its a great feeling.In the age of nuclear families having such a big family is so great.Im looking forward for the next meet.And hopefully by then ill also learn how to talk coorgi and instead of reading i can converse.So until the next meeting this is Pallavi saying 'Barla'

Coorg trip

I know its a little late to write but wat to do Deepavali is a big festival and dint get time to write at all.Anyways i went to coorg last weekend and it was awesome.We left bangalore exactly at 5AM(yeah i woke up realllllly early).And then as usual as Som was driving and Ani was clicking photos as much as possible.Bangalore is so beautiful in the morning.I dont remember when was the last time i saw Bangalore so beautiful.No vehicles on the road and chill breeze.WOW!!it was heaven.That was more than enough to put me to sleep.But then Ani was clicking photos so the damn flask kept waking me up(not that i was complaining coz the sky was beautiful).Anyways the only time i woke up was when we reached Indra dhanush(trust me till date i thought that place was called Indraprasta..no idea why).Ate my fav pongal there(its yummmyyyy).and then Slept again in the car(yeah yeah i sleep a lot when im travelling...im borrrrinnnggg).I woke up again in Madikeri...Man i miss that place already.IT was a nice morning(yeah we were there by 10).DRove again from Madikeri to Bagamandala.
Bagamandala is a place where 3 rivers are supposed to meet but only two meet (no idea why actually).Had a nice COllllddd chill dip in the river and then headed towards the temple there.It looks like twin brother of dhramastala temple.seriously its just the same.Only difference is the idols worshipped there...The place is very clean and maintained well (actually it was built recently and i think people have not got the time yet to spoil it*grin*).Hmm after that next stop 8kms later at talacauvery.
Talacauvery the place is just pure magic.Its on top of a hill and its like u are in heaven.The place is so peaceful and again SO SO NEAT!!!There is greenary everywhere and its a paradise for people who love nature.And again a dip in the cold and dirty water(cauvery sankrama just got over so the dirt still there inside kalyani) and then went to finish pooja.I had the purest form of cauvery water.Yeah its very very tasty and sweet.During the entire trip it was raining!!!yeah yeah full mungaru male flash back.
The entire place was covered with fog within minutes we reached there.It was completely beautiful!!!Man and the weather there is soooooo kooollll best time to go to coorg now!!!!
After this i went to aiyya house.This is Som's grandfather's house.Our entire family was there to celebrate the unity.We cooked together had so much fun together.Now wat hpnd in the house its gonna come next.Until then stay locked!!!

Man i can never get out of the radio mood naah!!!

23rd October

Another nice day to begin with.For a change i woke up early and dint sleep off back again (yeah that last 5 mins sleep of mine can go on for hours ).Anyways came to office at 2.Today has been a pretty boring day.i had no mood of doing the show today at all.One reason is that there were too many ads today on our station and that was driving me crazy.(like anyone would care alwa..thats the revenue we have).
I dint speak much on air coz i had no time to talk at all.Thats when this small boy called Rahul called me.Since i dint have to talk on air i thought i could spend time talking to him.He's a 12 year old boy who goes to tution and is back home exactly at 5 just to listen to my show (now u can see me smile showing my teeth also).He called me for a request and since i was not recording for requests yet i said i could call him back if he gave me a number.Thats when i heard the one rupee coin booth sound he wanted to say something but then the line got disconnected.I dint realise for my timepass i was talking to a boy who was talking to me through payphone.God knows how much money he would have spent talking to me and i could not even record his voice.I can still remember the disappointment in his voice.
Yeah it made me feel very very guilty(There are so many people who call and msg me and then i wil not be able each and everyone on air thats the reason i always give myself and it is the truth.Today i answered all the calls i got just in a slight hope that maybe one call will be of that small boy Rahul(yeah my fav name too) and i could play his request.
I waited and answered all the calls but then alas no such luck today for me.Today has been a good day for me in a way coz i recieved close to 1000 msgs for Ulta seedha fataafat (again another game where im giving cash this diwali).No good news is able to cheer me up.
By writing this im just trying to get that guilt out but also a slight hope that maybe since im accepting this he might just call.No idea when he will be able to get in touch with me again.I shall wait.
One more thing for today i've realised how much people spend just to talk to RJ's and i dont think we all realise it until just one 12 year old comes into our life naah.

Talking in singular is BADDDDDDD

Hello all today the 17th of october is a hectic day for me.Since morning only working [no time to rest dammnnn :-( but no complaints].I had a show for AMW trucks in the morning.It was a press conference [and about 30 people in a hall for 5000 people lolz :-)] and then siddarth [my nephew,my life] was also at home so was very eager to meet him and be with him for sometime.So watever energy i had went for this.Today i had no mood to work [no energy naah thats y *grin*]but u know the beauty of my work is that when ur down all the love showered by my friends [listeners] will give me extra energy to do my work much much better.

Now i came to studio and as usual first reply to all the fan mails i get and at that time i came across one mail.It was a girl who is ardent radio listener[meaning she listens to other radio stations also *frown*]who loves the way i am on radio but basically she loves the wat Prithvi speaks.She has one complaint that she hates it when i speak to people in singular.Meaning i say yen beku ninge or yaarige dedicate maadthiddiya!!
She wants me to address everyone like they are elders.She thinks if i speak to them in singular then its not classy or its not refined kannada.She thinks speaking to them in singular will be disrespecful and everyone needs to be addressed with dignity.I have been on Radio One for the last 2.5 years and in the last two months this is the 2nd mail i have received with such a complaint.Im completely confused!!!
I think when i can talk to my friends like that why cant i talk to listeners that way.Why should i be so formal with them.I mean there are a lot of people who call and mail me and tell me they like the way i speak coz im not formal [Basically im angry and frustrated here *angry face*].I agree when i speak to elders i should not be this way but common how can i speak to a 12 year old or a 27 year old like they are my grandmoms.I have a lot of listeners who have become very close to me and tell their secrets and problems to me.They think that i am one in their circle and talk to me like a friend.I am from a circle of friends and family who love one another for the person they are.And i have never thought of being formal with anyone especially the people whom i care the most [that includes my listeners too].But this mail has changed everything.

I know the entire city is listening to me and i have to be perfect but then i never thought the language i spoke to get people to like me itself is turning its back.Now i have become this person who does not know how to speak in public and yeah after reading all this i have become very very conscious of wat i speak and how i speak.Thats true yaar when i speak to a person on air i always have this thing in the back of my mind.No singular and i end up mixing a lot of things [yeah sometimes even i fumble].Now u guys tell me wat im doing is right or wrong.If u think talking to someone in singular [That does not include elders 40 years and above] is wrong then i will stop doing that and become so called refined [even though i hate doing that].If u think its not wrong then [*happy grin*]ill mail this to the girl and give her proof that not everyone thinks the same.

15th October 2008 NIce Day

It was a great day altogether.All my contests went well including Goldwinner One lakh fataafat and i had so much of response it was overwelming.The contestants could not answer simple questions like what is fish farming called (answer given was fishing and i was laughing so much when i heard that ) and also which state is associated with the garba form of dance(answer given was karnataka .Gosh dint expect that ).Anyways it is so easy to win one lakh but wat to do when someone is nervous they forget EVERYTHING.
Anyways i was having fun on the show as usual and i think even my friends (thats my listeners by the way ) got to know i was in a good mood.Came Fataafat 8 @ 8 ( My very famous request show *grin* ) exactlty at 8 o clock and believe it or not every single person who came on air started complimenting me (i was reallyyyyyy happy ) and started dedicating songs to me.I was thrilled and it actuallu showed in my voice (yeah i was veryyyyyy happy)
And then excatly at 8 40 came a stinker msg from one listener of mine who religiously sends atleast one msg EVERY single day.It said this:
ONE PALLAVI THIS IS ONLY FOR U OK! U PICK UP EVERY OTHER SMS WHICH BRINGS U A COMPLIMENT BUT U NEVER PICK UP MINE WHEN I COMPLIMENT U ON SO MANY THINGS. ITS REALLY VERY BAD OF U N U HAVE HURT A TRUE LISTENER OF UR SHOW. KNOW SOMETHING, I STEAL TIME OUT OF MY PACKED SCHEDULE OF TAKING CARE OF MY KIDS N LISN TO UR SHOW, BUT U HAVE NEVER SHOWN ANY COURTESY. I HAVE BEEN SMSING U SO MANY TIMES. I GUESS THIS IS MY WORST EVER SMS TO U.
The minute i read it i was thinking why did this happen to me on this nice day.In a way she was right coz there are so many people that make their time to listen to my show and send a msg and make me a part of their life.But then i dint expect a msg like this on the day when i was so happy.This one msg made me realise how close we can get to someone.She has come over to our studio a lot of times.Her two children are very very sweet.Her elder daughter is around 5 i think and she will always imitate me and i find that so cuteee.But then she was so frustrated that i had not called her and put her on air for the last two weeks.
After playing my last song i was thinking of calling her but then all these thoughts were running in my mind.Is she ever gonna talk to me?Why is she so angry that a person who loves me so much can send such a stinker?
For the first time i could hear my own heart beat when i dialled her number.She answered and her voice was shivering.That time i knew she was almost about to cry.She considered me her good friend and she kept sending msgs every single day and i dint show any concern.That was her complaint.I dint know wat to tell her.I had 100 thoughts but then none were coming out of my mouth.How do i explain to her wat was the real problem!!!
I let her talk watever she wanted to.I wanted that frustration out of her system before i could justify.A tear ot two rolled out of her eye when she was talking to me (which made me so guilty).But then i had to take all wat she was giving me.Ultimately once she was done i explained how difficult it is for me every single day to pick just one msg from 100's of msgs that i get.MOre than explaining things to her at one time i felt i was trying to justify myself to her (i was scared wat if she will stop listening to me).At the end of the conversation ( which lasted almost 15 mins and Anjaan was getting really irritated that i was still in the studio during his show) she was happy and i apologised to her saying i will for sure call her and keep in touch with her and her family.Then she said something very nice."A person who is very close to me and whom i listen to every single minute without missing anything if she will not show any concern then it will hurt naah"
This one sentence made me realise how much radio has reached people.Just 2 years ago i had selected people in my life and now people have selected me to be a part of their life and they also just like my friends will be hurt if i dont shower the same attention and love.
So all my friends i promise no matter wat everyone of u will be a integral part of my life.And thanx so much for making me a part of ur life :-)

Kannada

U know the most interesting thing happened to me on air today.Even though we play only hindi songs a lot of people who speak kannada love to listen to it coz along with kannada music they need their daily dose of bollywood too.Our main aim was to capture those people who love kannada language and love hindi music [example ME :-)].BUt today when i was going through messages that i recieved one msg read
FATAFAT WHY DONT YOU'LL TALK IN ENGLISH OR HINDI? ALWAYS KANADA?ITS A BOLLYWOOD STATION,FOR GOD'S SAKE
Thats right our kannada people want us to talk in english or hindi it was very surprising.I know the number and the person very well coz i have put him on air before and he speaks kannada very well but then never have i faced anything like this.Every single day we get mails saying that kannada is dying and no one is talking it and no one wants to speak this beautiful language coz according to them its not their status.I love my language and i know i will always have high respect for it.Its very surprsing to see that college going kids now dont want to speak our language nor do they want to listen to it.Dont know wat bangalore will become by the time i have children.
