My Father's Radio

Ages 40+ हिं

My father's radio was a Philips transistor — dark brown bakelite with a round dial and a little orange needle that moved when you turned the tuning knob. It sat on the shelf above the desk in his study, next to a bottle of Parker ink and a small brass Ganesh that had been given to him by his own father.
