Radio stations in Dubai

So Chris Fisher has been suspended.... I used to really enjoy his shows, he is entertaining to be honest. Unfortunately Dubai is still not up for the BIGGEST April Fool's joke... you can have the world's biggest everything except this.... sorry buddy. We'll miss you. R.I.P.

Coming to Hindi/ Urdu stations...... I was a fan of
89.1 earlier but it got too boring and the new station 101.6 is more popular so i shamelessly exchanged my loyalty.... but then 89.1 don't have Paikar do they?

Why do RJ's have funny names? Prachi ? Paikar? Charu ! I recently heard a "Soniorita" news presenter too.... and then there's the "Hum hain Roma"

101.6 is the in-thing for all Dubai listeners, new competions, fun RJ's, AJ the RJ is rather silly but fun......... however that "Ramesh the friendly qabootar" kills me.

Gaurav fanticizes Mallika Sherawat all the time and can't get enuff of her in his jokes.

Gagan is quite sensible and a great RJ, and I think he is the most talented among all the RJ's because he writes scripts for
plays and acts in them too...The self-promos are terrible, they sound good once, twice, thrice but they insist on playing them 5 times a day everyday for 5 months.... spare us please.

"The borrow milk and cockroach" one is so so so irritiating, the 2 guys who do voice-overs in this clip are terrible and all the recordings they do.... I wanna toss em over from a 5000 storey building.

101.6 needs a new Creative Director honestly. I mean he/she is good...........I'd give him/ her praise for the "Purple dil ke paas tum rehti ho"... the "Laali" promo for the Speed Bash 2006.

The Paikar Jamal, "Paree achi achi baatein karti hai" is good, but please come up with something new now.


Paikar... hmm "main itna hi bolti hoon kyun ke itni hi paise milte hain"............. well Paikar wot can i say about you.... Yum !
You are so Delicious.
You got a great tooshie baby!
You da Sexiest babe in Dubai !!

I would say Pallavi is the BABE of 89.1 but the Queen is Charu....

Radio stations are however quite boring in the ME, be it English or Hindi, the competitions are so boring. The prizes are so sad. The shows are getting boring like Antakshri and stuff.

A new channel 104.4 (Awaz) has this RJ who sounds so terrible, dunno her name though she does converse with the callers, and there's this other bloke who has some mixed Desi cum European Cum British accent and never makes sense of anything....... dunno his name either.

I hate it when cricket matches are going on that damn Hum FM 106.2 plays the matches live all day.

And the Rj's have some cocky intros and sign offs, like "A-b-h-i-j-e-e-t The Man with the plan" ... why spell ur name out everytime and trust me dude this makes you sound really stupid, you are one of the good RJ's.
But I like this sign off.... "Sobia Khan Allah Nigebhan"...... sensible, practical.

Then well AJ is there but he is meant to be silly....... "See ya later Aligator in a while crocodile."

Think I miss Khabrina Chadda....

My First blog

So i've finally decided to have a blog, I've been telling myself I need to stay away from the web life and not start a blog.... i tell myself who reads this stuff ? And I guess just becoz I don't read blogs doesn't mean no one else is... Recently I was at a friend's place and every reference they gave was related to someone's blog, so basically that whole gossip going on was based on more gossip by someone really wealllly boorrred.
Funny,we thought the Future held many new things for us.... and it does now its called digital gossip: blog



Now ....That's a pic of Sheikh Mohammed's car, Mercedes 4 wheeler, Number plate 1.

I'm posting this pic, coz i had my digi-cam with me and his car was parked outside the DWTC where he came to inaugrate Career Fair (only for locals, we'll talk about Emiratization later) and to many people it's a myth what he drives, I'd heard a rumor of a customized Hummer in Red ! so for all those people conjuring bogus stories..............here's his ride.

Funny enough no one used to buy this car at all and it had to value in Dubai at all but when Shk. Mohammed was driving one, all the wanna-be Sheikh's wanted one.

Also, I can understand Shk. Mohammed came for the inaugration but there were a whole lot of dignateries and VIPs there too.... why would they come to Career Fair............ applying for jobs?
