Musical Journey of a 90's Kid - Part 3: Mobile Phone - A Blessing

Mobile phones were born in this world. Rather a new world was born with the birth of mobiles. When music lovers went to live concerts, we would call their phone and listen to the live for a while( we still do :) ) . 

Very soon we could listen to FM Radio over phone. But Dharwad had only 1 channel which used to announce in a base voice as " Neevu KeLiutiruvuri FM Kampanaanka Noora Mooru Mega Hertz" ( You are listening to FM 103 MHz ) . This felt like conventional Radio. Bangalore FM on the other hand had many many channels and was much trendier . I made sure I bought a Mobile which had Radio support.Most attractive part of Summer holidays at Bangalore was listening to Radio 24/7. 

Meanwhile, Sitar came home. There used to be a wistle whose sound was the reference to tune strings( Though there are tanpura and tuning apps, many artists still rely on this wistle as it's quick to access) . By now, as we were owners of phones, we recorded sitar string sound itself on the phone and used that as a reference to tune our sitars.

Similarly, the singing problem of picking up a song at the right pitch was solved too as we could record tanpura and Harmonium reference on the Phone. 

Soon bluetooth came by,songs started getting circulated via bluetooth and we could set our favourite song as our ringtone. Phone on silent mode meant you are either in a classroom or in a relationship :)
