.... I would like to share some information with you Sir which makes me proud as a Broadcaster for the effort we put in our service career. On the 9th evening before I left ofice , I was taking a round to all the studios and when I entered the FM Jongphi studio , two RJs Basilica Nongpluh and Khraw were there discussing (Offline) about the wedding invitation of somebody. I was told that one lady by the name of Risuklang Warkhyllew of Jaroit Village, East Khasi Hills who is an ardent listener and caller of FM Jongphi is getting married on the 11th of January 2018. And because of her attachment to FM Jongphi, she had come all the way from her village which is about 50 Kms away from Shillong just to hand over a letter of invitation to the RJs most of whom are familiar in her regular calls during phone-in –programmes but none by their face. She was allowed to enter the Transmission studio where she met RJ RiRi who was on duty at that time.
It was also learnt from the RJs that there is a group of such ardent listeners who became friends just because they are the fans of FM Jongphi and they stood by each other in times of need . Once it happened to one of them being sick and hospitalised and the friends from the group volunteered as attendant for the sick person. There are also other such display of bonding among them where they extend helping hand to one another.
It gives me immense pleasure to know of such thing happening that the service we rendered also unites section of people who were not known to each other earlier.
So we decided to attend the wedding and contributed for a gift in cash for the newly wed couples.
RJs Gi, Dap, Carrie, Basi, Riri and myself left office at 6.30 P.M. on 11.01.17 and proceeded to the wedding coordinated by another listener Mr Raplang of Klew village who guided us to reach the village. On reaching there , we learnt that there are many ardent listeners in that village who were also very delighted to meet the RJs face to face.
It just brings us immense joy to physically experience their enthusiasm and this gives us strength to keep on delivering our best to our work to meet the expectation of the listeners be they form the elite class or from a simple village class of society.
