A New Wave: this documentary explores the fond relationship between people and radios
"I'd sit alone and watch your light, my only friend through teenage nights, and everything I had to know, I heard it on my radio,' these lines crooned by Freddie Mercury in the hit classic Radio Ga Ga, captured the relationship that young people growing up in the golden age of radio shared with it. Many of those young people, much older now, still hang on to this intimate and nostalgic relationship, refusing to let it be relegated to the past. My Radio My Life, an award-winning documentary set to be screened in the city, captures these stories. Co-director Makarand Waikar explains, 'The concept was to archive it as a documentary so that anyone in the future, would know what relationship people had with the radio in an era without internet or mobile phones, when everyone depended on newspapers, magazines, and news from the radio.' He adds, 'Several people made decisions based on the radio, they considered it a friend, philosopher, and a guide.' The documentary features the stories of six people spread across India, including Uday Kalburgi, a Bengaluru-based radio-restorer, who has founded a museum dedicated to radios. Also included are the stories of V Nallathambi, a Tamil radio announcer in The Voice of America who announced the Apollo 11 landing to Tamil listeners, radio announcers Yunus Khan and Mamta Singh, along with Bharathi Prasad a HAM radio enthusiast with friends across the globe, and a librarian who tirelessly tries to restore his broken radio.

Amid the media scrutiny, their one wrong step, a little slip here and there, makes them an easy target for trolls. However, some stars have found their way around the noise. They have travelled the distance from what people would say to now whatever people will say wouldn't weigh me donw. Speaking on the subject, Punjabi writer-director Jagdeep Sidhu in his exclusive conversation with us mentioned, that when you react the point of success, then, 'ap logo ki aankho me khatakne lagte ho (you start becoming an eyesore for people).' Read on to know what Jagdeep Sidhu said on shutting down the noise in her exclusive conversation with us. Jagdeep Sidhu says people's opinion doesn't weigh him down 'Jab ap start krte ho to apke pas aur cheezo k liye bht time hota hai coz abhi ek aadi cheez kari hoti hai, or jab main time ata hai, jab ap is side se uss side ja rhe hote ho na.. to suddenly ap khatakne lg jate ho, log apko target karna shuru kr dete hai. (When you start working, you have ample time for other things, as there's much on your plate, and when you turn successful that travel the distance from one side to the other, you start becoming an eyesore for people. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo They start targeting you),' said 'Phaphey Kuttniyan' writer Jagdeep Sidhu as he candidly spoke on how what people say doens't bother him anymore.

Apko upar muh krna pdta hai, apne kaam pr dhyan dena padta hai (Currently, no one has been trolled as much as Diljit Dosanjh, but he has reached a point where no body can touch him. So you will have to keep your head high. ) The writer, who recently worked on 'Son of Sardaar 2' refelcted that the chatter will always be there if you are doing something good, the sane thing is to simply mind your own business and let people say whatever they feel.
