'The TV is on coz the radio is playing songs that remind me of you.. Baby when you're gone, I realise I am in love'.
-Bryan Adams song that I want to dedicate to my mike.
I've always spoken about my jobs in radio as love affairs. When I started off with WIN 94.6 - it was my first crush, the Red FM job after that was just a short fling, then Dubai happened, which was clearly a mistake (but has its sweet memories to last), followed by Fever FM - which clearly was my one committed two-and-a-half year long relationship and hurt like crazy to break up with it. (could actually feel my heart break inside of me when I hit 'send' on my resignation letter) ... but it was time I stopped allowing it to take me for granted.. if you know what I mean. Took me half a year to get over that. In fact, I took a break from radio after that...like one purposely stays away from getting involved with anyone after a break-up. Big fm was a relationship that begun with the head making the choice, but the heart grew in, though I never let it take over me completely.
May be that's the reason I could walk away from my first love all over - to make way for a 'real' relationship this time. I even shifted cities. But I guess, this time round, the mike is testing me and may be even punishing me for leaving it (and my show on a high note) It's acting all elusive. But I too have to make up my mind as to what I want from this relationship now - I am still unsure.
So this song is just to let you know baby, that I am still in love. Do call me sometime.
