The 5'o Clock Show, Tune in daily on our very own HF Radio Options

[Pradeep]

Yesterday I've started on my blog sort of a radio show and titled it - The 5'O Clock Show. I've kept it for a max of 30 minutes daily. If I have some topic, I'll speak out or I'll simply play 5 to 6 songs. I am not limiting myself to old (my fav) ; I'll blend the show with talks - all that is happening around me, Indian music .. old, new, ghazals, dialogues, humor, clips from other radio shows and everything that I can possibly think of.

If you have any questions, dedications, sandes as well you could PM me. I'll post the script of each session and the name of the songs that I played, on this thread. So the members who have missed the show can read through it and shout at me.

Due to various network congestion issues, I'll stream this show in 48kbps ACC+ Format. To listen you will have to use the latest version of winamp and enjoy high cd quality audio.

31st October 2005 - Monday

First and foremost let me wish every member of HF a very happy and prosperous Diwali. This festival is celebrated for a period of 5 days. Yahan hamaare building mein subah subah paanch baje hi phatake phatne lage. Ek aur baat batavun, jahan mein teherta hun, vahan par 100 flats hein.. aur phatake ek se lambe doosra aur doosre se zordaar teesra. Isliye phatake ki sankhya bhi bahut wazandaar hai.

Kaise Diwali Manayen Ham Lala

Diwali is a tyohar; probably the most well known festival celebrated throuhout India as well as in most other communities. It takes place after 18 days of Dusshera. Every age, young, adult, old all have the same enthu to burn crackers and enjoy the festival of lights. The common practise is to light small oil lamps calledDiyas and place them around the home, in courtyards, verandahs and gardens, as well as as roof tops, and outer walls. In other words, from any corner or any angle you see a house, you will see the small Diyas burning.

Deep Diwali Ke Jhoote

Diwali mein ek baat tho hai voh hai.. Mitaai. Kitne vividh tarah ke, vivid akaar ke aur kitne vividh rangon mein jo mithai dikhthi, muhh mein se tho paani hi tapak padta hai. Diwali ka matlab alag alag mana jaatha hai. In North India Diwali celebrate’s Rama’s home coming after defeating Lanka Naresh, Ravana. In Gujrat the festival honours Lakshmi, the Godess of wealth and inBengal it is associated with the Godess Kali.

Amar Deep Nibhano Raat

Bahut log Dhanteras ke paavan occasion mein gold aur silver articles kharidte hein. Kayi log ghar ke liye naye utensils bhi kharid lete hein. Yeh bhi mana jatha hai ke jo log naye business start karna chahte hein, tho yeh samay ideal hai. Dhanteras ke peeche kahani kya hai? Yeh mana jaata hai ke, King Hima ka ek solah saal ka putr tha. Aur Vidhi ke anusaar, shaadi ke chaute din mein uski maut honi nischit thi saamp ke katne se. Isliye chaute din mein uski patni ne ghar ke har kone kone mein diya jalakar, ghar ke har gold aur silver ornaments ko ghar bhar phailadiya. Raat bhar voh ek se ek madhur geet sunathi rahi. Jab Yamdev saamp ke vesh mein ghar mein aaye, tho Ghar ka is chaka chaund se mohit hokar, raat bhar geet sunkar, voh subah vapas chale gaye. Isliye Dhanteras koYamadeepdaan bhi kaha jaata hai.
