One day in the first week of Chaitra, she was listening to Mahakali FM on radio at home. The conversation on the radio grabbed her attention. She turned her ears to the radio. She really liked the dialogue said in a dramatic way where it was mentioned that the radio serial drama Rope Guna Fal can be heard every Monday and Thursday from 8:15 am to 8:30 am.
Out of curiosity, Himani waited for Monday. Until Monday, she repeatedly listened to the promo of radio drama of Rope Guna Fal. Listening to that dialogue and promo, she became even more curious. And she waited and listened to the drama on the radio.
‘The drama touched my heart when I first heard it. I started listening on Thursday also and I liked the drama very much’, Himani says.
Then she began to listen the radio drama Rope Guna Fal again on Thursday. While listening to Thursday's episode, she noticed a question asked there. ‘While answering that question, 4 people were announced as winners through a lucky draw. All the winners get a recharge of Rs. 200. And, after becoming a super winner, mobile phones are also available’, says Himani, recalling that moment. ‘After listening that on the radio drama, I also wanted to answer the question that day. I recorded the answer to the question and sent to the number mentioned there.’
From then on, she started listening to drama regularly. She also started sending answers to questions regularly.
