world space radio

For a few months now(is it nearly a year i wonder?)there has been a sustained media campaign from 'world space radio' .Initially one ignored it , thinking it is yet another gimmick by a consumer electronics company to offer a slightly differentiated product.(yes, i am a little gadget weary;not that i dont like them, but i am conscious that it puts a strain on maintenance;rather if it breaks down it throws life awry).Of course kumar wanted to have one as the advertisement said that the customer gets an entire channel for old hindi and old tamil songs.Had him hooked. I kept warding off with the usual excuses.
So the time passed by, till my sister got one and kept euologising how great an entertainment it provides. She said, some songs which we have not heard from our college/school days i am able to hear now through world space radio.And all for 2000 rupees only(actually 1999).Hence got one for amma for her birthday courtesy prashant. Now not a day passes without amma saying how she heard jesudas and his film songs; never knew he has sung so many film songs; and today was GNB (amma is a great gnb fan)and an hour and a half of his ragam tanam pallavi.She is now unstoppable.
Now i believed that anybody and everybody knows about this gadget and mentioned so to leela. She was surprised and asked to know what is it.She is also now hooked on to the concept behind this gadget.She said it appears to be the perfect answer to want to listen to songs that she particularly likes!dont ask me how. But her logic is, in a regular radio session, you get to listen to songs which you like and mostly you dont care much for; so also in a casette/cd you buy. There is this option of recording specifically songs you like, but then the pain is too much and the pleasure is diluted by all the effort. So if somebody does a pre selection, then it is good. I am yet to enjoy its benefits, so i listened to her opinion without any wise comment!
Just a while ago my sister called to say how her husband has also become an avid listener of world space radio!!!!
