Hi sir! How do prepare for a show or what’s your pre-show ritual?

Hey Shivani! How are you? ????

Lovely question — and one very close to my heart!

Every day, I keep my antenna up — whether it's something I see on the road, read in the news, or a trending moment on social media…

If I feel it could bring value or fun on-air, I note it down.

Then before the show, I gather all that raw material — check the news, trending topics, music lineup, and whether any special day is being celebrated.

Once that’s ready, I start shaping it —

Each bit of content gets its own hook, meaty middle, and an impactful call to action — the idea is to make it not just heard… but felt.

I still remember one of our BIG FM trainers once told us about the RIP technique —

Don’t worry, it’s not what you think! ????

R for Research, I for Internalise, and P for Presentation.

That’s my secret sauce!

And of course, when things get hectic, there’s one thing that gives me instant energy — thinking of lovely listeners like you, Shivani.

Listeners like you are my powerhouse. ????
