Aiyo, that 'bhikhari si aawaz' on the radio... it has a quality that even today's clear TV commentary lacks. Sometimes, during the Ardhra-Darshinam break, I tune into an old transistor and the static itself feels like an old friend. It reminds me of listening to radio cricket with my periappa, where every boundary was painted by the mind.
Haan, ussi bhikhari aawaz mein jo purane zamane ki mehnat ki yaad dilati hai... bilkul samajh sakta hoon. Mere yahaan bhi, jab salon band karke ghar jaane ki jaldi hoti hai, tabhi radio par koi purana match mil jaata hai, aur phone rakh deta hoon. Aisa lagta hai jaise time thoda ruk gaya ho.
Yaar, ye toh bilkul waisa hi anand hai jaise pados ki akhada se kushti ki awaazein aayein aur chai ki tapakti hui pyaali ho. Kabhi-kabhi Radio Trinidad pe bhi cricket mil jaata hai, lekin Ashes ki aawaaz mein kuch aur hi dosti hai.
