     Good Dreams !
     They are dreams. 
     That's why they are called dreams.
     
     Yap!  I can imagine myself listening to the Duke Box only at 
     Annapurana / Udipi Fast Food Shops at Devon Ave, Chicago, IL ONLY!
     
     What's the probability of Telugu Guy walking into TGIF/ Mc Donald's 
     trying to listen to Gsala Juke Box ??
     May be Year 2050 !!?

Fellow Ghantasala fans !
     
I have been a member of this for almost a year now 
and have very much enjoyed the posts by various 
members.
     
On the occasion of first anniversary Sridhar asked 
for views and ideas from members.
     
Today I would like to share with you a dream that 
recurs in my mind whenever I see a juke box in 
restaurants here.
     
In some juke boxes you can put a quarter coin and 
press a song you like to listen to and the whole 
hall can listen to it.
     
In some other versions, you can select a song 
conviniently sitting at your table and it is 
played at a low volume so that only you can listen 
to it sipping a cup of coffee or whatever is your 
cup of tea !
     
I wonder if can we build ever something like that 
for Ghantasala songs. I want to know more details 
about juke boxes that is helpful in finding out 
the feasibility of setting up one here in US, from 
the members who are more conversant with hardware 
aspects than I do.
     
Since we are a bunch of strong G fans, I thought I 
had a better chance of being listened to.
     
Later, we can extend our imagination to a juke box 
in a paaka Saala in India where you can drop a 50p 
coin and listen to a favourite telugu song eating 
pakODeelu or pesaraTTu.
     
Have you had a similar thought or dream ?
