Good Morning, Bangalore with Kay Kay Machado

My last ever link on radio.. bitter sweet. How else can I define it? It has been an absolute crazy ride.



I will forever remember 26.09.2022. I promised myself that I wouldn't cry on air.. but I didn't realise how that last link would hit me. It's not saying bye to the team so much.. its the listeners. They've allowed me to be part of their morning every single day! The pure, unfiltered love is what I'm grateful for!

You will hear RJ Prithvi come in in this live link. He's been the person who saw me start my career in radio.. only fitting that he is the last one there to see me through it.

Thank you for the music, Radio One. See you on the other side.

This is officially my last interview on air. I realised that over 7 and a half years of my career.. I have not introduced you to what my wife does(professionally)! So here we are.. Couldn't be a more fitting way to end a 7 & a half year career in Radio. Crazily enough, she was once a listener who called in. The only listener I ever broke my one rule(to never date a listener) for! Well, proud to say that she's my wife now!

I hope you enjoy listening to it!

Spoke to Anupama Vedachala and here are are some things I learnt:

Bonsai- Is a Japnese art of growing a tree in a tray. It includes careful selection of plant, pruning, training and growing a tree in a pot which resembles a tree in natural condition.

Which plant- Any perennial plant can be choosen with woody stem and branches. Trees, shrubs, seedlings, cuttings etc can be a selected as starting materials.

Pot- Selection of pot is very important, it should always be shallow and match the style of the tree which is grown.

Culture- Unlike many belive bonsai trees are not starved. A very systematic fertigation and irrigation practices jas to be maintained depending on the selected plant to grow a healthy bonsai.

Buying a bonsai- Always buy from a reputed seller, ask the seller the name of the tree, how to take care and follow the advices carefully as bonsai plants are grown in small trays or pots any kind of sudden changes can have a direct effect on the plant's growth.

Once mastered- Once a person becomes a bonsai grower it's a wonderful experience as one can journey with a plant from a small plant to a complete tree in a miniature size.
