Poobalan on THR Raaga

Yeah, it was me on THR this morning, though I had problem recognizing my own voice! Do I sound that bad? 😆 Even though I had talked on Minnal FM and also appeared  on a song request program in Astro Vaanavil previously, the butterflies are still there!

The short phone interview was aired at about 7.45am, so I doubt many would have been tuned to THR. It was a pleasant surprise when friends SMSed me after hearing it. Hmmm..didn’t know you guys were THR listeners 🙂

Actually, the interview was recorded yesterday noon. DJ Uthaya called at about lunch time, and together with DJ Ananda, he posed some questions on blogging. They were going to talk about alternative media and wanted to highlight blogging to the Indian community (or something like that). I was busy with some work, so just shot off whatever came into my head. I mentioned about the reasons people blog, meaning of blog, gave my URL, example of bloggers who make money blogging, and before I knew it, the interview was over. Just about 3 minutes.

Before I had chance to ask how they got my number or when the interview will (if at all) be aired, the call ended. So, I had no clues at all.

My questions on how they managed to contact me was answered later at night. First I thought it was those Putera MIC fellas who are organising Manya Awards, but it was another blogger, Selian.

Well, I hope my tiny weeny contribution will motivate more people, especially from the Indian community to start blogging. You can blog about anything. If you need help, just drop me an email. [Updated: email address]

Poobalan

So you are a celebrity now ??

Sorry I missed as I hardly listen to THR raaga nowdays….

Perhaps THR can attach your link to their website in order to get more Indians into blogging.

No sir, I’m still me 🙂 Celebrity is for people like Maya Karin or Jac 🙂

I usually listen to THR while driving, except during news slots will tune to Minnal.
