How can the show be improved

I would really like the show to be for 2 hours, and 2 days a week, say Friday and Monday. I think it is too long now. You have captured my interest such that I want to listen to the entire show, listening at work, affects work badly sometimes, I can't blame you, it is so interesting, it has become my weakness!
Secondly please be yourself, I do not like to see you change in your styles just because someone commented on it, people like your style of presentation. Although there are sites like voicevibes, I personally prefer your show to that show.

I feel privileged when ever I listen to your show. Your show is too good and this makes at least myself tune into TORI only on Fridays. I am not sure if this is the right response you are expecting from your listeners.

1) You do marvelously on prepared interviews. Your interaction with call-in listeners sometimes is a bit uneven. Be patient and engage the call-in listeners a bit more.

2)Have a prepared interview for about 30 minutes at least every other week. I know it is quite difficult to get people living in India. The interview could be with Telugus or non-Telugus in the USA.

3) Your program is quite addicitve. Confine the program to three hours. We do not want you to have a burn-out. What a wonderful job you are doing!

        I would like to appreciate your efforts for the program. I am listening this program on and off for the  last year and half. It has improved a lot technically and qualitatively. Especially, presentation and its organization. Congratualtions!! Way to GOO!!! Please don't give up the program,abruptly, (may be )due to time limitation or of some other reason.

1: I guess, audience may willing( I do) to listen the program live.
Presently, live program is on Friday and the most of the audience are housewives(according to my guess)! If you shift this live to Saturday morning, you may gain versatile audience, and we may get drastic improvement(innovative) in conversations with listeners( i know that your time and availability are precious, though).

2:Though, we are feeling homely, during your discussions, try to explore the US culture and social environment ( and single parenting etc.,) as many telugu people came to US within 5-6 years and may not having much awareness. This may minimize the murders or accidents of telugu or indian people in USA.

Example: As you are living in US for more than  20years, and you brought up two kids, raise the topics like child-parent relation(in US), and child protection, and how to bring up a kid from child level to college level. This may help in reducing the distance between child and parent as kid grows.
I guess i am clear to you Dr.!
I know that you haven't taken a position as a social welfare officer, but still you can take a chance, through the entertainment.
This thought is of Leelarani as a parent.

3:Induce latest songs also in to the program (ofcourse,some of latest songs may not be much melodious to listen lyrically).
Introduce more wit/jokes in conversations. I know, audience response is less but it is appreciable level.


Thanks for giving me a chance to give suggestions.
Good Luck!!!

-Interviews with prominent people should be scheduled at least once in the month or two and one Friday specifically dedicated .

-Apart from the songs the listerners ask for, there can be specific time for half an hour in the MMGL for  "theme songs"  with your commentary like- kids, love, rain, classical music, patriotic, folk, telugu-hindi equivalent songs with common music.In this way, we can know more about old ,new songs on a particular theme.
-May be this also can be once a month .

-Topics on Telugu literature, Art forms- like the one's presented on SriSri. This can give more insight into the great writers, people dedicated to the upkeep of Art forms and Telugu Literature - Ancient, Medieval to Contemporary. Many in the current generation are not exposed to this field.
 In this way , you will be doing a great job to the telugu language , so that as UNESCO stated we can shift "from  becoming an extinct language in a couple of decades" to a dynamic language and contribute to bringing back the Telugu Vaibhavam.
 

Apart from entertainment and enlightenment, it is the response to each and every call and mail that makes the listeners attached to the programme.
Enormous effort, intellectual analysis from the side of the host is the greatest asset to this programme.
Shows the sincerity and commitment .

i would like to see a definite format atleast for some part of the program. if you can prepare on some subject and engage callers about their opinion on that subject, instead of talking to them about the weather in their city or what they are doing. i think you get that right!

Technical improvements (for eg:- today Feb 20th show, many users couldn't hear you on phone when they called, while you thoguht their phones were bad). Many a times, channel goes totally blank all of a sudden. We have to click on the channel again. Creative improvements are best left to your judgment, as you are good at it. Show sounds too long when it goes beyong 3 pm. May be you could do the show on Friday entirely, but cut it into 2 episodes and play the second half on another day of the week. I am sure, listners would love to hear MMGL on 2 days in a week.

I would like to see more of topics that relates to India and AP.
I don't mind to reduce the topics on US politics and economy. But want to see more of AP politics or life style. Then that will take us to India a lot.

I see it as a gathering of telugu community around the world by sharing their ideas and experiences. It reminds our childhood where we listen All India Radio and homely feeling. Really we are all thankful to you. I saw your note that you may not continue for more than a year. Please don't discontinue this. We beg you please discontinue.

Show timing is too long ( my opinion) you may cut it down to 2 hrs
Suggestion:
1)You can add some advertisements (or information) about important events worth attending to ( taking into account the popularity of your show). Not too much of comercialization though.

I have always been woken up by "suprabhatam" on radio every day till I was 22 (after that I moved to US). My mom is a fan of radio, she beleives that radio is the best form of entertainment unlike TV, I was defending it but it took me a couple of years untill I started working ,now I realize what she meant.I can do all my chores and entertain myself at the same time while " listening" to the radio :).
 And telugu radio is like a breeze of fresh air. I have been on and off TORI for the past 2 years and i'm following MMGL since past 2 months. I do love the program.
Keep up the good work Murali Gaaru.

I would suggest take any social topic every week and discuss on that, let listeners know one week before, so that listeners also prepare there questions, thoguhts.
That helps a lot to like my kind of people who lost touch with social awareness,  being mechanical in life work, home, kids....

Sometimes i felt you cut the conversation with listeners in phone.

Instead of doing continuously 3,4 hrs, why don't split that into 2 days like Friday 2 hrs and some other day 2 hrs.

Most of the people don't know about TORI site, if possible advertise lot, then definitely TORI becomes big success.

Wish you all the best.

Thank you.

1) Stick to only one subject per week.
 If you didn't announce the topic at the beginning of the   show quickly settle on one topic in 10 to 20 mins.

2) Bring out more topics on our culture.

3) Choose such a  topics to bring young kids to take part of  show actively.

I really appreciate your unparallel efforts bringing such a nice show and wish you all the best in future.

Entertainment with personal development

Male

my three suggestions are
1. As it takes lot of time for you alone to organize this show its better to have  one more female anchor as the show will be very lively.
2.You can develop some kind of system where in every one can express their feelings and ideas on particular topic(some sort of discussions like politics, economics, music, etc..) from where lot of our people get benefited with their discussions. One small hint for doing this is like a conference call between four friends.
3.You can invite some really good personalities to our program and have their interviews who can give some valuable suggestions (like search of jobs, Safety of our fellow citizens, etc....).

I hope my suggestions can help you. Great work keep going.

This program is very good and i appreciate for doing this.It may take your time off but i am sure you will be remembered as NRI Mohana Murali forever.Unfortunately this was my first day listening to this program.But i am sure i will be a regular viewer for this program.

May be little more about self learning, how to avoid pitfalls in USA and utilize the opportunities along with the songs.
Like you I am a big fan of all the programs of AIR Vijayawada and Vividha Bharathi. Your program fondly recalls all my memories.
Thanks again
Balu

This is my first mail or first comments about your program. I am joyous to listen to your program. The value of your program is all round development including family values, educational development for children, hidden learning as you suggested, broad outlook, balanced point of view instead of one sided view point, the desire to extend the boundaries or to think outside the box and above all, a sense of oneness or VASUDAIKA KUTUMBAM as our elders put it so nicely.
I liked the way you stressed about knowing our selves and our partners for success in life. I would like to suggest you this web site. Your views exactly reflects the philosophy of this personality from Maharastra.

I am sure it is fruitful to listen to your program for every listener.

Mohan Garu Please explain the theam of Those Lyrics of song in detail before playing song, it will add more knowledge of Telugu for the persons like me. by understanding why those words are used at particular place, we will got more more respect to the writer.

Any how my best wishes to  TELUGU SONGS EKALAVYA - Mr Mohana Murali Garu. may my God Thirupathi Balaji blessed him & Every one of his Family.

Mohan Garu Please announce this programme contacting  Mail ID & Phone Numbers freeqently while broadcasting programme

Actually Frankly to Say before this programme i am not even a Good Listner, I used to Forwad songs tie in CD Player while watching movies in the house and going out for making mobile calls in theators. Really i never used to switch on my Audio while i am driving my car ( In India ) my wife is good music lover only in this case i used to differ my wife.NOW MY WIFE IS HAPPY AS I AM GOOD MUSIC LOVER BY THIS PROGRAMME.
Its fact now i am beleaving EKLAVYA LIFE by hearing Mr MOHAN GARI programme, without formal music classes this programme means UNBELEVABLE HATS OFF TO Mr MOHAN GARU. Its nothing Personal Developments for me.

1)Your programm is US centric. please do refer to all telugu community across the world.

I hope your live show is not only for Telugu people living in US, but also for people across the world.

2)As well as you do make lot of criticism of INDIA. Though its ur channel and u have every right of freedom of speech ; criticising on every aspect makes me feel bad after all we belong to INDIA.its just a suggestion and not a complaint on ur programm .

The show is good as such. I think if you add how the songs are developed ( some songs may have some inspirational, comedy or circumstance contexts for the writers), though not for all songs once in a while that makes the show more gripping.

I get to listen different perspectives. Your sense of humor ( eventhough it look odd at times). 3-4 hours of Abhiruchi, Bhavukata and extremely good telugu songs.

I like most things about this show.  But let me suggest you one thing that is probably impractical in the immediate future.  You should probably find a host to pair up with you - one who can complement you.  For example, someone who has a better grasp of newer movies and songs or someone who can bring an opposing political philosophy to your discussions.  As I said, it is probably impractical at this stage but something to ponder about...., perhaps?

Like you, I also grew up listening to radio a lot, particularly telugu songs and cricket commentary.  After my B Tech, however, I moved out of Andhra and hardly ever had the opportunity to listen to telugu songs on radio.  TORI and your show bring back the memories of those days.  In particular, I greatly enjoy listening to several songs (in your collection) that I could never find on the internet.  Apart from that entertainment value, I admire your knowledge of many issues that are not necessarily related to your academic expertise.  I appreciate the time you spend on this show and the enthusiasm with which you conduct it every week.  Thank you very much!

May be the show timing. In India, the live show extends till 12am-1am. If you start a little early, that would be great. That's what stopping me to listen to the whole show.
And my bad, whenever I start TORI, in office or at home, I always listen to the initial 2hrs :). Of my whole listening to MMGL from starting of the show, if I count the the program closure messages I had listen, that counts to 4 or 5.

I'm more interested in the topics you discuss during the show than the songs. That said, I like the songs too.

Some times I feel your voice as so dominating, proudish, bragging, SORRY. It is not that hard for you to control the sound of your voice. But I like the show. As always, I am a big fan of radio and telugu songs that too old melodies. At the same time I like Chiranjeevi's Gangleader. You made our dreams of listening to radio overseas come true. So please keep doing what you are doing now. We really appreciate your hard work being a busy person(I saw your profile on your college website). Your voice is very good like Mattapalli Rao garu and Umapathi garu (our old telugu radio manoranjani nnouncers, that makes me listen the show. Thanks alot.

Ofcourse, the songs are excellent. In between your discussions are very good and seems well planned. But sometimes, I observed some mistakes about movie names, songs and other stuff which made so sad because I am a biiiiiiiiggg fan of old songs and some new melodies that shows good lyrics and music.
Keep continue this program. We are very happy to be part of the show. Thanks alot.

The phone line is not clear while talking live, with a lot of noise. When it's played back though, the noise is not heard and it seems to a listener that the caller either is deaf or can't understand your words or wit, which is not the case. It's just that the line is not clear with noise taking over your voice. I realised this when my 6yr old daughter called last week to request a song. When I heard the other callers talk earlier, I assumed they couldn't understand the wit, but after my personal experience, I now know that it's disturbance in the phone line. Please rectify this so that the caller is not discouraged to call again.

1. Increase the Frequency
2. Can discuss abt some weird news around the world(Ex: some weird facts,records etc.,)
3.At times some of your phrases will show a bit self-boasting, which is not your inherit quality. I like that one too though.

Sorry if I hurt you, these are just my personal feelings. Overall I can say this is the best show in Telugu for sure !!! Three kudos for you sir, vowe you a kofee, pls let me know when you are coming to Toronto!

I want to appreciate the stress you give to our Mother Tongue. I adore that quality a lot of you. And one more thing is the way you explain the current trends. For example, the daylight saving thing, I have kept in an out speaker and educated all my roomies(6 membs).

As every thing has its own pros and cons, I want you to be away from some sensitive issues, For example one day you indirectly commented on PRP and Andhra politics saying that things won't change in our state etc., which hurted me a lot and stopped listening to your station for abt 3-4 weeks :-)

Well, meeru adigaaru kabatti cheppalsivasthundi

1) koncham harshness thaggisthee baaguntundi - iam NOT saying mean language or words but just the tone - okkosaari chaala harsh ga sound avuthundi mee tone - and I don't attribute it personally to you - its just the regional thing - nenuu andhra nunchee, kakapothe perigindi hyderabad lo so i know that difference of tone andhra people would have and I can understand that it doesn't meant to be harsh but it just goes like that (my husband is from guntur and he has the same harshness in tone (kottinattu maatladadam) over which we fight so many times) - but just to keep the people hang on to this program thechipettukunnadee ayina koncham sweetness unte baaguntundi - just a little bit - mulpuri gaari voice lo untundi aa sweetness malli - sorry for comparing - i know its bad

2) I know ee madya too much of personalizations thaggayi ani - and i think its good - anthakamundu mee opinions about some things were too much vyakthigathamainavi - I personally think that its ok to express them among friends - but when we are on air trying to reach a larger group of people may be antha bitter personal opinions cheppakapothe baaguntundi emo ani - thappu emi ledu kakapothe its just that we loose some of the listeners - alaanti listeners naaku akkaraledu ani meeru ante - thats being adamant ani naa opinion - sorry if i sound harsh here

3) may be callers ni inkoncham comfortable ga feel ayyetattu chesthee baaguntundi - people would definitely be nervous when they call you - let them come out of it and talk comfortably in their pace - not many callers do that - one man show laa kaakunda - koncham callers ki kuda stage ivaali ani naa opinion (pravarpitha ki, kanakaraju (hopefully i got that right) gaariki, inka okalliddariki thappa meeru antha scene evariki ivvaru -

and just one more technical thing - I somehow feel that conversations appudu volume thakkuva paata appudu volume ekkuva vasthundi ani - dont know if thats really true or just the pitch difference that makes us feel so - its a bit uncomfortable because we have to always change the volume while listening to the program.

 feed back iche opportunity ichinanduku thanks - I wanted to extend my support to the program but sort of hesitated to email and this is the right place to say "I simply love this program" and also may be I take the pride in having introduced this program to so many (more than 1 less than 20) listeners since two years.

Yeah sort of hidden learning more than entertainment - As I said I didn't know some of the songs existed - there are so many songs like that (eg: that - jagartha baava cheyi gaajulu, kanne singaram ki tholi mojulu - song  - thats not how the beginning of the song goes but this became my favorite phrase - so well said by the writer) - memu perigetappudu radio lo vachee songs maatramee maaku thelusu (applies to every generation, eg: gaali vaanalo vaana neetilo padava prayanam - from my generation) - but aa mundu vachina songs naaku assalu theleedu ani naaku mee program vinnakee ardam ayyindi - and also entertainment for sure - manchi paata vinetappudu manasuki entha haayiga untundoo - chetha paata vinetappudu antha disturbing gaanuu untundi (tori vachina kothallo oka paata vachedi - kukkalu kukkalu dongalu dongalu ani - that was the first time I ever sent a feed back to some site like this - saying thats the worst song - aa paata vintuntee bathuku meeda virakthi puduthondi ani  - iam glad they stopped playing that song) - ee program vinetappudu manchi paatalu maatramee  vasthaayi anna guarantee untundi - kabatti oka 4-5 gantalu prasantham ga pani chesukovachu - channel maarchalsina avasaram lekunda (nenu usual ga 5 linkulu desktop meeda pettukuni - denilo manchi paatalu vasthe aa channel vintaanu  - ee ayidintilonu machivi raakapothe radiokhushi ki velthaanu) -
