The aliens are here

Prithvi has close encounters of an alien kind. Read on to find out more...

After having the glitterati on my show I proudly present scientists and aliens on my Birthday Bakra show (9:20 am on 94.3 RadioOne). I pulled a fast one on a scientist from Mission Chandrayaan. I called him to rant about aliens trying to reach me on my cell phone.

This is what happened...

He picked up my call and said, 'Jee bol rahaa hoon', confirming his identity. I told him with conviction about receiving strange calls with strange voices on my cell phone, which I believed to be aliens!u00a0

Surprisingly, he was ready to extend a helping hand as he asked me to log on to a specific website for help. Now that was alien to me! Not expecting him to believe me I asked him if he believed in aliens. "I believe in science and you are a fortunate person to have contacted aliens," came his prompt reply.u00a0

For a moment I almost believed the existence of aliens (more so after working with my producer Rakesh). I asked him (the scientist) if he had encountered any aliens during Mission Chandrayaan He reiterated the fact that I (Prithvi) was fortunate and in fact asked me to convey his regards to the aliens. I wrapped up the conversation asking him for help about my dress code at the meeting with the aliens. He was in splits, realising that he was on my Mission Birthday Bakra.

The first scientist ever to go on my show for an entirely unscientific reason made the show a memorable one.

Happy Birthday Scientist!u00a0
