Why I prefer AIR over other FM channels?

If you are in Mumbai and you travel by a local, FM is something you would really admire like a good friend. Without it the journey could be so excruciating that you may end up thinking twice for going to the office. However, having spent so much time travelling all these days I've come to one conclusion at least .. That nothing beats AIR.. The reasons well they are galore. And since it would be ridiculous to count them, instead of saying "n Reasons why I love AIR", here they are as a matter of fact.

1) Instead of just claiming "Only Music" it actually plays music
2) It doesn't play "Beedi jalaai le.." (Omkara) after "Hips don't lie .." (Shakira)
3) Fortunately or unfortunately it doesn't get ads to bug
4) Instead of just screaming "Bajaate Raho" it actually bajaos for at least 50 mts in an hr
5) It doesn't bore you with BIG words of astrology early in morning
6) Despite being best in content it doesn't waste ONE bit of time in going ga ga over some star's birthday
7) And while you may miss some "Mirchi" in areas here, you can always trust the signal of AIR to reach unthinkable of places

In case you are still wondering where to get lost in "City main kho jaao.." you can always switch to either Gold or Rainbow to drown in some genre of music. You'll not be disappointed. Besides you will not be tormented by people who fail to understand the lines between being enthusiastic and shouting, because the RJs here KNOW their music. And they know what pleases the ear most.

If you still have any doubts, in last three days, I've listened to a program on best of ghazals, a 1.5 hr special on Floyd, a dedicated session to Classics and Country, O P Nayyar's haunting music and yes they keep dabbling it with new peppy numbers as well. Take that ...
