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 :-)
