Radio Indigo Rocks Posted on November 3, 2006November 3, 2006 These days I’m making excuses to spend time in my car because of Radio Indigo, 91.9 FM. Where was it all along, I am asking? I drive more slowly. This, in Bangalore, a city now known for its maha traffic jams, is not at all difficult. I try and find more places to go to. This too, is not very difficult! Radio Indigo in my car. Worldspace at home. I’m all set. And I am wondering where it has been all along? Ah yes, with Worldspace I read somewhere. But now that it’s freed itself from WS, I’m hoping that it doesn’t turn into yet another radio channel and keeps playing the great music it does! Radio needs to cater to different sections of the audience. And since one can’t possible cater to all kinds of audiences, it’s best that the folks decide who they want to target and just go for that segment. Here, I’ve noticed, they try and please everyone and that is definitely not going to happen. Just a year ago, we had no choice. But today there are many more channels to choose from. As people spend more and more time in their cars (especially in jam infested Bangalore) radio makes so much sense. And while there are quite a few radio channels in the regional language with largely Hindi and Kannada content, it’s quite a pleasure for someone like me to tune into a channel slightly more cosmopolitan and where they play English music. And good music to boot! It rocks. It’s my favourite channel now. I’m not buying that CD player anymore, thus saving myself a cool 12-14K! I’m zimbly loving it!

And… another one bites the dust! Posted on March 18, 2009March 18, 2009 “But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Anita Recommends Girls just wanna have fun! Posted on August 7, 2013August 7, 2013 From exotic foreign locations, to rural Indian ones – there is nothing that is out of bounds for the single Indian woman traveler today. And when I say “single” I don’t mean it in the literal sense. You could be a part of a couple, but wanting to travel on your… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
A toy train, peach wine and other such delights! Posted on July 26, 2007July 26, 2007 May 2007: A trip to the beautiful tea country of Wellington in Tamil Nadu along with my sister, Ree and her amma. A rather long but nice drive.

Right. And their choices are good too. Several times I got a pleasant surprise when I tuned in! Reply
i agree! and hey i blogged about radio indigo too…after that shopping trip day…the music in the car increased the “leisure” quotient of the day LOL! Reply
You are right! It is a pleasure listening to them. I’ve listened to great stations in Bombay, before moving to Bangalore, that is. However, the ECP (Evil Capitalist Pigs) eventually catch up. And then you’ve got to cater to all and their in-laws. Or shut shop. The radio landscape in Bombay has changed in the 3 years I left. Oh, well, we can all enjoy it till it lasts! Reply
Here too we are going the American way…3-4 FM stations per city. Now, they have gone a step further and there are community-based FM stations…we could land ourselves there soon enough… Reply
It’s good stuff no? If only their RJ’s could be a wee bit more professional. Some of them come across as pretty amateurish! Reply
Yeah, Radio Indigo is a rocking and refreshing difference. But the problem is the Night Patrol guy is a huge fan of Dire Straits and Rolling Stones. Every day he will play these bands. That makes it boring . Reply
