Radio ke Virus and Meow 104.8

Whatever! I don't like the idea of not being called as a Male Chauvinist any more. I still am the same old Mocho who was just so very damn Chauvinist flag bearer to the very core of his inflated heart and sinking rationale. But what does it get to do with this post. Wait a minute.Oh of course; it has to do a lot with this post. This post is about my preferences; huh dirty minded; not sexual preferences damnn’t; my preference of Radio Stations. I mean ok, well, I am a perfect machoism personified substance but what does it gotta’ do with my liking MEOW 104.8 over any other frequency for that matter. Its just weird!

Talking about radio stations only, I just feel baffled and stupid hearing to the same songs over and again repeatedly till my nerves actually start defying the constraints of my brains and my ears cursing my lovely Swift for flaunting a 4 speaker music system. That’s why I like this channel; MEOW-104.8 or as Jaishree says - India's first 'm first Just for Women Radio station. Who is Jaishree???Oh ok, let me just take you through a small crash course of the same.

  • Jaishree and Mandy: Hosts of Meow Zindagi, a breakfast talk show. However I always feel that Roshi-Jaishree combi was deadlier than this one. Alas!!! Roshi only does Color Therapy now.
  • Seema :Morning Meow and Dial M for Meow .These are Priyanka’s fav sections as Seema plays oldies in these 2 shows
  • Ramaa and Manisha:Meow Matinee and Mumma Meow resp. I have heard the talk shows a couple of times and found them to be really educative.
  • Ginni: My favorite. RJ of Tu-Tu Meow-Meow which typically is an evening talk show in which both the sexes are allowed to call and chat. As she terms it to be a battle of sexes. It is conversant, intelligent and thought provoking. I find this lady a bit rude though but guess this is what steers the show well.
  • Divya and Kiran Bedi:Top Cat .As the name suggests, a very innovative use of Radio as an Information and Awareness Media. Very cool show.
  • Anil : The only male RJ of the station. Hosts again a talk show called Between the sheets which is in a way like Agony uncle for ladies. Its very interesting at times but depends.Dunno’…Indian audience u c.

In the nutshell I like the whole genesis of this station for the simple reason that it doesn’t rely on the same so called chartbusters being played on and on for hours for no particular reason. I actually am not a music buff at all and so get bored very easily. So its Meow for me.


Before I sign off, and also for the respite of guys who think I am a overt feminist now; huh;There are 4 other RJs whom I just luv to hear to for the plain ingenuity of content. These are “SUD” Sudarshan, “Khurafati” Nitin,”Radio ke Virus” Anant and Saurabh.

Happy Listening!!!Its Hot!!!
