While doing the homework...with the songs at 8:00PM and the AIR news at 9:00 AM. Many pleasant memories of evenings spent in the front room listening to music.
Tagore coined the phrase Akashvani for All India Radio.
From the AIR website:
Gandhiji in his eloquent speech exclaimed AIR as a miraculous power. He called out AIR, 'A medium of unparalleled immediacy, intimacy and power!'
Rabindranath Tagore awarded AIR a poem which is worth for its services :
"Hark to Akashvani up-surging From here below.... From earth to heaven, distance conquered, In waves of Light Flows the music of man's divining, Fancy's flight..."
