I couldn't see this & not show it :) It is the Radio Music Channel Fever 104's 2009 "What's your Ear type?" calender. Caution, the humour is severely local. Enjoy! :)

The "Long lost Ear":
"It yearns and it pines, for the long forgotten songs of yore.
And requests from Jhumri Talaiyaa
"Pinky, Bablu, Munnu, Rani, Chintu et al ki pasand"
Disgusted at the thought of 'Remix'
Binaca Geet Mala is somethng it will always dig."

The 'Romeo-Laila Ear":
In ancient times, it was called the Romeo-Juliet ear,
It answers to a variety of names
in different parts of the world.
Some call it the 'Heer-Ranjha' ear,
others call it the 'Bill-Monica' ear.
The broad-minded may even call it the 'Dostana' ear.
'Do dil.... mil rahein hain'

and this ear starts beating.

"The Dingchak Ear:
It is seen in flashy cars but heard much before it is seen.
It believes that music should thump
from your head right down to your toes.
Aunty-Uncle may call it a nuisance.
But its just trying to spread the message 'Music is for everyone"

The 'Yo Ear":
It wants the world to know- YO
That music is in his blood- YO
might not get a word- YO
still pretends to be YO-YO
Juggy D, JayZ, Snooo Dogg- YO
Will the real Slim Shady stand up -YO

The "Repeat Ear":
It listens to 200 songs a day. The same song,
Played over & over again.
It listens to 200 songs a day. The same song,
Played over & over again.
It listens to 200 songs a day. The same song,
Played over & over again.
It listens to 200 songs a day. The same song,
Played over & over again.

The Bappi Da Ear:
'Aya ma disco dancer'
it sizzles at the sound of night -laabhers'
Completely disco, completely Da,
so what if the 'gaan' is fully copied,
It doesn't like 'rona', only fond of black and 'sona'
Loves to hear someone say,
'Pyar beena chain kahan re'

The 'Rock-around- the clock' Ear:
It can never have enough,Its plugged in 24x7. In the metro,
in the elevator, during a coffee break, it grooves all the time.
Even when nature calls & its time to pee. It was born with the earphones on.
"Hello! Hello!Hello is undoubtledly its fav song.

You have a 'Saloon Ear' if,

c) your barber is secretly your best friend
d) you enjoy your 'champi with 'akhiyon se goli maare' playing in the background

We are nearing the end of December and its time to send away another year & bring in a new one. Its the season for new resolutions & new calenders. If you are the kind who is particular about what you look at through out the year AND if you are the kind who could do with some reminders for your better intentions, then I'll seriously recommend this very unique piece of art which also happens to be a handy usable calender. Stick it on your soft board, in your bedroom, anyplace you will see it. It doesn't hurt the eye & it might actually result in something good. It is created by Hemant Anant Jain from Munna on the Run. It is called 'The year of Individual action'. Do click on the picture to read what it is about. So how do you get hold of one? It comes as part of the December issue of this magazine called "Down to Earth'. And if the copies are not available in the stands in your city, write to them, they are nice people who get back to you very promptly. I have just ordered my copies & will post a pic when my copies come. Do check the website out. They do some very good and necessary work.
