“92.7 Dhun Badal Ke Toh Dekho” of Big FM plays from my car’s radio as I sing and dance to its tune. If I’m being honest, that’s the only radio station I’ve ever heard.
When radio was invented in the late 19th century, it was regarded as a groundbreaking invention. By the 1950s, it had become an important medium of communication, delivering news, entertainment, and information directly to people. It was on Radio where millions heard iconic moments, from Jawaharlal Nehru’s famous “Tryst with Destiny” speech to thrilling cricket commentaries that kept listeners on the edge of their seats.
However, with the coming of the digital era, radio slowly began to fade . Television and the internet took over as dominant sources of information and entertainment. Today, we mostly hear the radio in our cars, but even that is being replaced by Bluetooth and streaming services. However, in a world dominated by internet, radio still holds a unique charm.It’s like an old friend that surprises us with songs that we loved but have forgotten, conversations that pull us in, and moments that remind us of simpler times.
