Track 10

They say that whatever you do on the 1st of January sets a trend for the year. If it is true then the card that has been drawn for me has sports written all over it. I am a part of the anchoring team for a special show on Commonwealth Games 2010. The series was kicked off with the dawn of the New Year on Rainbow India which is the primary FM channel of All India Radio. The show has been named Track Ten and is being broadcast everyday from 8-9 AM. The objective of the show is to create awareness about the games as we countdown to the multisport event that Delhi will host in October this year.

It is my turn to host the show for 6-7 days in a row. This has two direct implications – (a) I need to be updated on the happenings in sports world, and (b) I’ve to tear myself away from my beloved quilt in the wee hours of the morning and rush to radio station. It is just my luck that this is turning out to be the coldest and foggiest week of the year! Nonetheless, I am thoroughly enjoying the sporty time. These are phone-in shows and because there are two sports jockeys the shows are highly interactive and fun.

There is a lot of information to be shared on the shows and over here. But I’ll have to package it in smaller dozes as there is an overload of ‘homework’ for me. For now I must get back to the script for tomorrow’s show.
