Radio Jockeys of SIMC


“There is a huge potential for radio in this batch” – opined the interview panel after the final selection process of SIMC 2010.

The interviewers including ASid sir accepted the fact as some latent Radio talents were spotted.

The insights - Qualities that a competent RJ must possess and did possess in the interview.

  • Jabbering gibberish non-stop, even when the earphones are plugged to your ears.
  • Unique talents who can speak non-stop nonsense in the form of unending questions.

Reason in actual at SIMC: The inability to comprehend questions from what to ask and where to stop.

  • Awareness about movies, songs and Bollywood, even though current affairs were a different affair.
  • Ability to make a mistake and cover it up diplomatically.
  • Whatever were the emotions during the interview, they showed an intense and forced happiness in front of ASid.
  • Qualities like mimicry, competent PJ’s (Poor Jokes) pepped with the god-gifted ignorance.
  • Variation not just in mode and tone, but in character too.

The process of identification in a class of 2010:

They see a mike and the ghost of an old Philips radio grips.

They start and sigh!!! there seems no end to the question.

The listener is patient, but the speaker has unbound energy.

Finally the pathetic delivery makes the listener the more confused and the respondent as ignorant.

Why you shouldn't complain:

But who cares when the only parallel between the DIRECTOR and its radio jockey is that they see the mike, pounce on it and blurt non-stop. Yes, there is a slight difference though; Radio jockeys can sometimes be interesting too.

CONGRATS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED IN CONCEPTUALIZING AND REALIZING THE 'NATIONAL RADIO MEET', MAKING IT A GRAND SUCCESS. KEEP IT UP.

Is this phenomenon can be called as mic-o-mania??

And NRM was a fantastic platform for all 'questionnaires' of SIMC to prove themselves (pun intended) ;)

Cheers for the organisers, both 2009 & 2010 batches
