Radio Mirchi 98.3 set up its own stall at the fair, bringing a unique blend of literature and radio to the book-loving crowd in this 48th International Kolkata Book Fair

 

Radio Mirchi's presence at the book fair was marked by a series of engaging events, including quizzes, live story readings, discussions, and debates. However, the highlight of their stall was the "Walk-in Interview" session, which attracted a large number of visitors. Radio Mirchi organized a variety of programs throughout the fair. One of the most popular events was the "Sunday Suspense Special Quiz," which tested the audience's knowledge of the iconic radio show. The quiz not only entertained the participants but also took them on a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Another crowd-puller was the "Prem Dot Com" session, where book lovers had the opportunity to interact with the team behind the popular radio show. The radio jockeys of Radio Mirchi also performed live story readings, captivating the audience with their expressive voices. In the evening, a special discussion was held on the past, present, and future of radio.

"Our main objective is to attract the new generation towards radio," said Indrani Chakraborty, Creative Director of Sunday Suspense. "That's why we organized the 'Walk-in Interview' session in this digital age. We want more young people to love and listen to the radio. That's why we are organizing these various events." Mirchi Mohor, a renowned radio jockey, added, "Everyone has a story to tell, but we don't often find the time to think about it. We want people to come to our stall, take a moment, and reflect on their own stories."

 

Radio Mirchi's participation in the Kolkata Book Fair was a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the growing convergence of different forms of media. The event provided a platform for both readers and listeners to come together and celebrate the magic of words and sound.
