India's Jockshock

Jock=Short form of Disc Jockey
Jock Shock= A Disc Jockey who shocks
I used to listen to his voice on Anil Ki Aawaz and whenever he used to be on air, the program would start with .... this is u r host "Anillllll Srivatsaaaa". Anil was one of the early internet radio pioneers...with a degree in media and communications plus his shocking taboo talks/topics helped build his fans and non-fans aka people who liked to hate him. He moved onto television for a short stint in ImagineAsiaTV and then moved back to india to become a COO for Radio Today's FM. I was expecting him to do something again and he proved it by starting an FM-MeowFM - "Just for Women" Radio station. Never knew women had patience to listen to radio as i know them to have liking to shopping, making trips to beauty parlours, gossips et al, but a radio station for these ppl? or may be that indian women folks have changed over the century. His radio seems to be as popular as any other TV serial :D or wait is it because of Anil's magnetic personality? eh? His popularity is evident from the fact that he has 3 profiles as orkut has a limit on the number of friends. Whoever wrote/write offs radio as an obsolete must look up and anil who bring in innovative things to keep things afloat.
