Radio & me

As far as i know, my tongue has to be my strongest muscle. More so becoz right now i earn a living out of it. As anything else, my radio experiance didnt have a smooth start. Cat aspirations left aside('aside' might not be mistaken for neglect!)radio is what I chose be with, for the time being! See it from my eyes, it looks like the best place 2 be right now(i mean i ont want to die an RJ!).
As i look at it, radio is a challenge for me, coz of many reasons..
1.I dont have a conventionally sweet voice.
2.I am not funny & cant even crack a joke properly.
3.My music sense is nearly neglegent.
4.I cant make jokes...instead i make a joker out of myself!!
So I never thought that sounds would fascinate me like it does! Today when i mix sounds to make tiny peices of music for my Jockeying, i feel like I'm Picasso reincarnated! The feeling is overwhelming...almost like finding your long lost siblings who you just found & want to keep meeting(I dare not compare them to a 'newfound love' coz too many of them is a pain...u know where!!).
But this feeling of elation is strictly restricted to me. Moreover it's incomprehendable to most of the people who matter to me. Thats exactly where the pitfall of entering radio from television lies. It's not that i didn't like television, but teevision is far less creatively challenging for a Jockey than in radio.
But people do vouch more on the glamour part! My mother is happy as long as she gets to see her daughter in the television or in a B-school(something i havnt given up!).
Whatever...life keeps going on! Now this...later that. Probaby next year this time I might be thinking of something else that 'll hammer my head then! But this life that is....is so cool in so many unassuming ways!!
