it's my MTV..



Off late Mtv has been quiet my favourite.. not that it has suddenly turned into the most awesome channel.. VH1.. it's brother is still my fav.. but its just the my mtv package that attracts me..


happened to visit the mtv office as well 2, 3 months back.. its every office goers delight.. gaming with each other on comps through lan..fooseball, pool, tt table, ps2.. its a dream office.. and its so vibrant and chahal pahal.. i liked it.. met some one in programming whose a sweet heart.. just to give me career advice even wen he didnt know me..


coming to mtv itself.. think it has managed to maintain a much more respectable image over its counter part Channel [V].. Due to a mix of its mass and niche strategy.. they play songs which the masses will love and have programmes which are a mixture of highend and mass programming.. the vj's are a success in their own right.. vintage mtv properties still going strong.. and mature people unlike a bunch of headless goons on channel v (the latest being vj bruna).. its appaling how channel v is still running.. bikini babes are its only high point even though i hear even that isnt saving the channel much as its struggling big time in the race..


Nikhil is a DJ as well now.. Cyrus broacha.. evergreen.. Cyrus sahukar.. someone i always liked who is thought to be sensible enough to be called to be part of pannel discussions on news channels and stuff.. i think its a pretty neat bunch.. rahul khanna... even today remembered as the super succesful vj of mtv rather than for his acting skills. maria goretti.. shehnaz..malaika arora.. they 've had a good talented bunch in there (not forgetting to mention ranvir and anusha.. though they are not definitely my cup of tea).. and there's is a very enthu bunch.. constantly striving to do kick ass stuff.. and its one of the most self sufficient channels i have heard or known of in terms of producing its shows inhouse (unlike most other channels who outsource their programming to production houses).. having its own studios and all of that paraphernalia...


ROADIES need a special mention.. in its 5th season now.. going strong.. not bad considering a music channel has managed such a fan following for a rather stupid reality show..


keep rocking mtv.. and u guys must go check out the website (www.mtvindia.com) .. for the creative ones they let u create your own mtv logo.. my mtv in the true sense.. and its quiet engaging i must say..even i tried my hands at it ..
