Live outdoor broadcast in radio is so common practice that it doesn’t not leave much scope to feel excitement. But doing such thing from a station like HAFLONG where we have limited technical support and minimum manpower, it really gives us a pleasure of doing it. I had live broadcast experience with one day international cricket matches – where we had a large team to work with, had experience of reporting live from various spots where we had nothing to do except doing the commentary. But doing the same thing with limited technical equipments and with a small number of working talents – most of them are not exposed to such work – is really challenging one. Mrinal Devburman, a veteran broadcaster and ASD of DDG Office NER Guwahati, has initiated this project while he was in official tour to Haflong. He guided the whole team and he had to return to his place just before few hours of the programme. But he was constantly supported us over phone and guided us.
We have started the show and first encouraging message came from Aparna Joshi, Editor of Radio and Music dot com. I showed the sms to all my team present on the spot and they feel encouraged.
All the team members were so excited that they wanted it to be continued till the last item of the programme of BUSHU DIMA fest. But we had to stop at one point and announced that we will come back again next day.
