Get Your Bollywood Fix : Listen to Radio Zindagi in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia

One would think listening to the online marketing gurus that you hear about new products, happenings online. This is not always true. I heard about Radio Zindagi from my wife who heard it from a colleague. Radio Zindagi is a - a AM radio station playing South Asian Music with predominantly Bollywood Hindi music on your dial at 950 AM in the Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland area. Originally based in San Francisco Radio Zindagi expanded into the DC area in June 2013.

Even if the signal is sometimes spotty, I love listening on the weekend and getting a feel of nostalgia. You can even listen to them online, streaming at Radiozindagi.com or Radio Zindagi Andorid App on Google Play. They are also on Tunein Radio.

I love the causal banter from the DJs and the humor in the programs. If you are a fan of Bollywood music do check this station out, Of course on weekdays I am listening to Nathan Hager on WNEW or NPR's Marketplace. My weekends I try to catch the Prairie Home Companion, Car Talk and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me on NPR.

It is a 95-year-old legend passing the baton while quietly teaching the rest of us what actually matters in people and leadership. 1. Temperament first — everything else second "Greg is a great manager, a tireless worker, and an honest communicator… Many of our best managers coincidentally lived for some time in Omaha and developed a balanced outlook on both personal and business matters." No mention of Harvard MBAs or Goldman Sachs pedigrees. Buffett hires for emotional equilibrium and long-term thinking — Omaha just happens to be a reliable filter. 2.
