For 52-year-old Prachi Muranjan, who grew up watching the radio supply the soundtrack to her mother’s chores, tuning in is a vital part of her everyday routine. “The minute I wake up and get fresh, I tune into the radio at around 5 am and listen to it for the next 1-1.5 hours.” In fact, it is this very love for radios that created a special bond in her marriage. “The very first radio that I ever owned was gifted to me by my husband in 1992, soon after our marriage. Even though we had an arranged marriage, he knew my love for listening to the radio. I still have it and it’s pretty special for me,” she adds.
