Anticipation of our childhood with the festive season knocking..........
Just before 7days of Durga puja we bengalees worship our ancestors on an auspicious day of Mahalaya. In this festival Goddess Durga and her children are worshipped. She holds weapons in her ten hands and is seen killing the demon. It symbolises the victory of good over evil. A gay and festival mood is noticed everywhere. People are seen in new clothes and look very jubilant and elated. In this great festival we bengalees also gives gifts to our relatives and friends like dresses, accessories, statues and sculptures of Goddess Durga and many more special gifts. Every year just before the night of Mahalaya ,my mother used to make sure that our radio is in condition and its battery is fully charged.so hat we can perceive those holy shlokas of Mahalaya on radio and that special box which is the memory of every person.
Well, it has been almost 112 years that an Italian Scientist Marconi gave us the most wonderful gift-Radio. Usually radio is considered as a medium of entertainment but some time it is more than that. It has lots of things to offer like musics,plays,news, weather reports etc.. The charm of running commentary of cricket and football matches is unparallel. Ignorant people can learn alot about the rules of health and sanitation from the radio. It acts as a teacher especially in rural areas.
But today one may ask about the relevance of radio in this technologically advanced world. Is this true that somewhere its existence or its value has lost due to all these televisions and advanced internet connection??? If you ask me?? Then I will say its my best friend forever ..Do you know why?? Its very simple as Abc..it gives me the splendid company when i feel deserted and bore. Today it has come in the form of F.M. Actually the fascination of radio will never achromatic away. After all this is the only medium where we get the opportunity to imagine .Its like a world of imagination because we can fabricate the world that we exactly hear. I know many of you don't like the idea of listening radio but one of the India's most famous oral storyteller Neelesh Mishra came up with a special idea of audio blogs, where he narrates the story of a world of imagination with title Yaad Sheher. I hope all those net savvy people who are obsessed with hitting keyboards will like this.
So in brief Radio can be described as a magnificent world that has music, education and most important- Imagination. And this post is to show my respect to the great Scientist Marconi and celebrate Radio Day...yes Radio Day many of us don't know that 20th August is celebrated as Radio Day. Comment us how you are going to celebrate a day like Radio Day. Ofcourse I know none of us will do, but just for fun if you are given a task to celebrate Radio Day, how you are gonna do?
