Birthday wishes, passing messages, playing pranks have taken a new dimension in this 21st century. The preferred mode of wish - in person, telephone, letter, email, pigeon, anything else?. But, the TV and FM media came out with a mind-blowing concept of wishing for birthdays through TV and FM. This is the height.
For the benefit of people who haven't been gifted to watch / hear these programmes:
There is a FM programme where in people can wish others on any occasion / pass a message. This is how it works: Lets say there are two people - A and B. A calls the RJ (the one hosting the programme) and tells the phone number of his friend / relative(B). Then the RJ dials in B. Now, A, B and RJ are in conference. Now, A passes a message to B. The message will be like - say Hi to your dad, How is your new shirt, Are you coming to Vijaya Hotel tonight for dinner?A can also wish B for whatever occasion. Then the call is closed. The RJ feels proud as if he closed the deal between India and Pakistan on Kashmir. There is a TV programme that does the same thing explained above in FM station.
What is this? Guys (the ones involved in these programmes), don't you have brains? Common sense? If you want to wish a person, why not to call them directly? Do you need a middle-man even in this? There are people who listen / watch these programmes, that's the best part :)

Haha, i totally agree with this one..people discuss everything from their bathroom habits to whats cooked for lunch in their home,on Tv/FM!! God give us the courage to switch OFF the TV immly..prayer for 2010 :-)
dude!! do u seriously think that the people who call are real?!?! i dont think they even exist. its all the Radio owners who wud hav appointed some people for the purpose of talking in different voices all thru the day just to show that they have a huge fan crowd!!
I agree with AV. Dont take these junk programmes for real Kat.
KP, grow up.. do you know a big per cent of the Indian "economy" is based on the TV and radio industry??? :P
How??? let me explain. When MR A calls up the RJ, he is encouraging the Radio/TV business. He increases the viewing/ hearing ratings because Mr A's family and friends are made to see/hear the Tv/radio show(same as MR B's too), thus increasing the Radio's/Tv's revenue, which indirectly increases the nations "Economy".
It increases the Radio/TV sales, it increases the telecom business(2 phone calls instead of 1) and sooo on.....
See its all for a nation's cause!!!!! Nothing goes waste :D
.. and there are also some who blog about it :P
Totally agree with you. Sometimes the FM programs are completely pointless & these RJs add glory to that!!
@ Paddy,
'bathroom habits' - LOL.
@ AV, Souj KS,
nooooo.. there are some morons who does it. They are REAL. Can feel it. But, insider calls might also exist, possible. But, not for this programme :P
