We did it!

RJ Rakesh cannot stop crowing about polling the maximum number of votes, along with RJ Shilpa, in a recent contest

The winner takes it all: Shilpa and Rakesh polled the maximum number of votes in the Fastrack Voice Off contest

On Saturday evening, the results of the Fastrack Store Voice-Off Contest were announced. And guess what? The bold and the beautiful of RadioOne emerged triumphant. RJ Shilpa and I were announced winners. Excuse our not-so-modest crowing but if we've got it, we flaunt it!

Three RadioOne RJs Prithvi, Shilpa and Pallavi were assigned one newly launched Fastrack store each. After thousands who auditioned to be our Fastrack Stores' Voice Off teams (the voices that would draw maximum crowds to the stores), we picked a solid team of 3 for each store. And they brought in crowds like there was no tomorrow. While each of the Fastrack stores buzzed with crowds, pouring in to vote for their favourite Radioone RJ and to go live on air with them, Shilpa and I teamed up to give the other RJs a run for their money.

Never did numbers matter so much to us except for the ones on our salary slips. The votes out an end to the bickering between the RJs. Here's the count: Prithvi 2,622 votes, Pallavi 2,780 votes and Shilpa 3,907 votes!u00a0 The moment we heard that, Shilpa and I, put our fists up and cheered lustily. We won and our team walked away with an Xbox each. Others got the I Touch and gift vouchers worth Rs 5000. But the best part of the battle was this: I walked up to Prithvi with Shilpa by my side, stuck my nose in the air and said, "Prithvi...my feelings for you no words can tell, except for maybe Go to hell!"
