Purani Jeans - Radio Mirchi

This is one FM program that I wish I could listen to right from 9pm till 1am. Sure, it plays songs from the Golden Era. But that is just one reason. Another one is that when you tune in to this program, it gives a nice feeling that you are listening to it along with many others across the country who share your affinity for songs from that era. There is no doubt that RJ Anmol is doing an excellent job of anchoring it.

Moreover, it feels immensely good to see that this audience not only includes people from all walks of life but also spans across generations. Just the other day, a person close to retirement requested that the song 'सौ साल पहले मुझे तुमसे प्यार था' be played for his dear wife. I am sure all those who heard that request must have smiled. Then yesterday there was a student who told Anmol that he would like to work on this program with him. The fact that the music that was composed in the 60s and 70s is liked by today's generation is a glowing tribute to those who were instrumental in producing it.

BTW, Purani Jeans is featuring a special program on the late actor Dev Anand this whole week from 9pm to 10pm. Today is the last day of it. So don't forget to tune in.
