Maximum Music Monday and Anjula Devi

Anjula Devi, author and chef of nutritious Indian food, chats to Zoe at the start of National Curry Week. And the tunes keep rolling on a Maximum Music Monday and the Disco Ball.

Anjula Devi, the author and chef of Indian food, chats to Zoe at the start of National Curry Week. Anjula started cooking with her father at the age of eight. At that time, the ingredients for Indian cuisine were not as readily available as they are now, and Anjula travelled on the number 207 bus with her father to Shepherd鈥檚 Bush Market where they would buy a selection of spices, fresh fish and Indian vegetables. 鈥嬧�婾tilising her cookery skills and passion for spices, Anjula launched her own business in 2010, providing Indian dinner parties and Indian cookery classes.

Between 8 am and 9 am, Zoe keeps the tunes rolling on Maximum Music Monday. And Zoe plays three disco classics from her personal collection in the Disco Ball at 8.30!

And Zoe collects your Monday Manifestos and speaks to listener Richard, who is getting married, and Sandie, who is passing over the secretarial baton in the Military Wives Choir.

Along with Tina Daheley on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, she and the team have the best start to your morning. With headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought from Remona Aly and listeners on the line, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Remona Aly, Freelance journalist and editor:
It was a bittersweet experience for me a few weeks ago, when I made my last visit to a home that I鈥檝e practically grown up in. After living there for four decades, my dear uncle and aunt are moving out from a place that鈥檚 housed a whole catalogue of memories. As we raised our teacups in their boxed up living room for a final goodbye, I could remember a scene from 30 years ago, when all our families were sprawled in this very spot. With some propped up on floor cushions, others leaning on sofas, we waited excitedly for the pull out white screen in front of us to light up, and for the projector to dance in circles, hum and retell family moments captured on Cine Film.聽
There was a first swimming lesson while mums were clutching their silk saris by the pool. My brother, on his third birthday party, balling his eyes out when the babysitter鈥檚 dog ate his cake. Uncles grinning at the camera, somehow managing to carry off their knitted tank tops and corduroy flares with style. Thinking of us all together like that, I realise I鈥檓 now at the age my uncles and aunts were then in that living room. I brushed my hair today and found another silver thread surfing a wave through dark locks, and I recoiled, wishing I could turn back time. But despite the anti-ageing lifestyle sold to us in hair dyes, creams and filters, maybe I should be more pro-ageing.聽
I recall the actor, Anthony Hopkins once say in an interview with a warm smile of wrinkling contentment, 鈥淚鈥檓 looking forward to growing old鈥�. The older I get, I tell myself to see every birthday I make it to, not as a burden, but as a privilege. For there is a whole waiting room of nostalgia yet to come. 鈥淟ife is a balance between holding on and letting go,鈥� said Rumi, the thirteenth century Muslim scholar and poet. I reckon he鈥檚 right. If I only long for the nectar of yesterday, then I鈥檓 denying the taste of new sweetness tomorrow. So, I鈥檒l love the past but not cling to it, and look forward to the promise ahead. Maybe I should return that hair dye.
