so what do you do

When the stupid RJs on the radio do not realise that people are not waking up and rushing to office, they are trying to warm up for the day ahead (considering the winter season is setting in), the beauty of the morning is something else. You tune into radio, like me, and it's blaring "love me love me, your mumma .." and it's like whoaa.. you change the channel, and it's 'desi girl' or some rambunctious punjabi track. People inside the studios do not realise or see the day has just begun, and one need not be subjected to a rude alarm! You move to an English radio channel (thankfully, there is one), and there will be some obscure genre playing, which is still forgiven considering it's not so popular. Forgive me, if I am not getting the numbers or the TRP right. However, this is just a personal opinion. The entire journey to office becomes a boring chore, with uninspiring sounds reverberating from either sides. I generally keep a few CDs handy, which I listen to, but radio draws me closer because I have grown up listening to it. And, I still haven't fashioned myself to tune into my own player. I like listening to RJs, who have now touched new lows talking about dating, pranks, etc in the morning! The good ol' rainbow is not good ol' anymore. In this narrowed competitive space, they too have been churning out the same grind, instead of doing something different. I fume, fret, but that's it.
