Halfway into the drive, out of the blue, Melodee brought up a very silly, yet interesting quiz contest - she popped up the question "What is my favourite Ice Cream flavour? . Message me at 52919. If you get it right, you get to win a couple of vouchers from Natural Ice creams". At a traffic signal in one of the intersections, i just hit the keys on my cell phone and typed "Black Currant" and sent it to the magic number.. Not so much for the ice cream, but only because I was getting bugged by the bright red light ahead of me... :) Some time later, I get a call... ..
"Hello?"
"Haie.. This is Melodee from Radio Indigo.. How are y.... "
"Heyyyy Melodee.!!. How are you?? " I was so excited to listen to that charming voice speak to me. Crazy.. But I can't help it if somebody from the Radio station calls me to put me on air.. :) :)
"Ha ha ha... I'm good.. how are you? "
"I'm good too..thank you so much.. "
"So, may I know your name?"
"I'm Bopanna "
"So Bopanna, Black currant is your fav flavour or mine?" He he.
"Well, I think it's your fav flavour, because it's one of mine too.. "
"How sweet.!. Bopanna, I'll put you on air now.. so if you're driving, just pull over.. It's just gonna be 2 mins, in and out.. "
"Yes of course.. I'm on it :) :)"
And so, for the very first time, Bopanna came on air, swinging to the 'Melody' of Radio Indigo.. I tell you, it is a great feeling to listen to yourself on air conversing with a beautiful voice.. Things do get exciting when you least expect them, don't they? =)
So, two first timers for me this day.. Watching a live match being played by cricket biggies and listening to myself on radio... and the result- addition to the list of my memories that will be cherised for a long time.. :)
Cheers !
