Midnight masala with Sandy



---

πŸŒ™ “Midnight Masala With Sandy” — Private FM Delhi

Time: 12:05 AM – 2:00 AM
Host: RJ Sandy
Station Tagline: “Dilli ke raat ke saath… hum bhi jaagte hain!”


---

πŸŽ™️ Opening Monologue

“Good eveniiiiing Dilli!
Yeh hai aapka dost… aapka padosi… aur thoda sa nautanki… Sandy!
Aur aap sun rahe ho Midnight Masala, jahan raat bhi jawaan hai… aur main bhi!”

“Abhi clock ne bajaya 12… aur iss waqt Dilli teen categories mein divided hoti hai:
1️⃣ Jo so rahe hain…
2️⃣ Jo so nahi paa rahe…
3️⃣ Aur jo so nahi chaaahte… like me… kyunki paisa tabhi milta hai jab main mic par bolta rehna hoon!”

“Chaliye… raat ki shuruaat ek old-school English beauty se karte hain… Elton John ka ‘Sacrifice’.
Stay tuned, don’t go anywhere… warna main aapke sapnon mein aa jaunga!”

🎢 SONG 1: Elton John – Sacrifice


---

☎️ Caller 1 — The Night-Shift Nurse

Sandy: “Aur ab hamare saath line par hain… Sister Neha from Safdarjung Hospital. Neha, kya haal-chaal?
Aap log hamare asli heroes ho!”

Neha (tired voice): “Bas Sandy… 14-hour shift hoyi… teen emergency cases aa gaye.”

Sandy: “Neha, aapko salute! Aaj ke liye aapka dedication… ‘Zindagi ki yahi reet hai’—from Mr. India.”

🎢 SONG 2: Zindagi Ki Yahi Reet Hai – Mr. India

Before the song ends Sandy cuts in smoothly:

“14 ghante duty? Agar main karta toh show mein soota milta! But Neha… you rock.”


---

☎️ Caller 2 — The Insomniac Philosopher

Sandy: “Agla call… oh ho… hamare regular caller ‘Shakespeare Sharma’!
Sharma ji, iss waqt aap kya soch rahe?”

Sharma: “Sandy beta… zindagi ki meaning batado?”

Sandy: “Sir, agar mujhe meaning pata hota… toh main FM RJ nahi… TED Talk speaker hota!
Chaliye, aapke liye ek soulful track bajata hoon.”

🎢 SONG 3: ‘Fix You’ – Coldplay


---

☎️ Caller 3 — The Restless Auto Driver

Sandy: “Line pe hain Mukesh bhaiya, CP se! Bhaiya auto chala rahe ho is waqt?”

Mukesh: “Haan Sandy bhai… ek chakka utha ke laaya hoon Gurgaon se. Ab thoda music chahiye.”

Sandy: “Lo bhai… aapke auto ki headlight se zyada bright gaana:
‘Khaike Paan Banaras Wala’!”

🎢 SONG 4: Khaike Paan Banaras Wala – Don


---

☎️ Caller 4 — The Suspiciously Nervous Man

(A thief)

Sandy: “Hello caller! Naam bataoge?”

Caller (whispering): “Naam mat puchho… bas gaana bajao… ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’…”

Sandy: “Arre bhai… itni raat ko kya kar rahe ho?”

Caller: “Bas… kaam par jaa raha hoon…”

Sandy: “Kaisa kaam?”

Caller: “Mat puchho!”

Sandy: “Theek hai… naam nhi batate… kaam nhi batate… par gaana suno.
Just don’t commit anything illegal before the chorus. Police bhi sun rahi hoti hai kabhi-kabhi!”

🎢 SONG 5: Don’t Stop Me Now – Queen

Sandy fades in laughing:
“Bas bhai… agar kuch ulta-seedha karne ja rahe ho… toh mera naam mat lena!”


---

☎️ Caller 5 — The Final, Sensitive One (possible suicidal mood)

Sandy switches tone: gentle, empathetic.

Sandy: “Hello… this is Sandy. Aap kaun bol rahe ho?”

Caller (sad male voice): “Sandy… I don’t know if I should continue… everything is useless…”

Sandy pauses, soft voice:

Sandy:
“Dost, ruko. Deep breath.
Raat lambi hai… aur mushkil bhi.
Lekin ek RJ ka phone line kabhi band nahi hota.
Tum bolte raho… main yahin hoon

Caller sobs about job loss, loneliness.

Sandy:
“Sun… ek gaana bajata hoon. Tum phone mat rakho.
After the song, we talk again… okay?”

🎢 SONG 6: ‘Chalo Ek Baar Phir Se Ajnabi’ – Talat Mahmood

After the song:

Sandy:
“Dost… duniya me koi raat itni andheri nahi hoti jisme subah naa ho.
Tum mujhe paraya mat samajhna.
Hum sab kabhi-kabhi toot jaate hain.
Par radio is for keeping you company… till the sun rises.”

They continue talking (off-air).


---

πŸŽ™️ Closing Monologue

“Dilli… it’s 1:55 AM.
Main hoon Sandy… aur yeh thi Midnight Masala.

Aaj ki raat ne sabko dikhaya:
Koi beedi pee raha, koi auto chala raha, koi hospital me jaan bacha raha…
Aur koi sirf zinda rehne ki koshish kar raha.

Music un sabka saath hai.

Main kal phir aaunga… tab tak…”

🎢 SONG 7: ‘Sweet Child O' Mine’ – Guns N’ Roses

“Good night Dilli… stay kind… stay alive.”

πŸŒ™ EPISODE 2 — “The Robber, The Radio, And The Ridiculous Night”

From the series: Midnight Masala With Sandy

The night after his emotional roller-coaster show, Sandy comes back to the FM station at 11:40 PM, clutching his favourite plastic cup of vending-machine cappuccino (which tastes like wet cardboard but keeps him awake).

He enters Studio 3 and the technician Ravi whispers:

“Bhai… raat ko ek ajeeb banda phone kiya tha… ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ wala. Lagta hai kuch gadbad tha.”

Sandy laughs:
“Arey aise log roz aate hain yaar… Dilli ka late-night clientele. Insomniac philosopher, heartbroken lover, night-shift nurse, aur beech mein koi petty thief. It’s part of the charm!”

πŸŽ™️ ON AIR — 12:03 AM

Sandy starts the show:

“Good night, Dilli! Aaj raat ka episode… thoda thanda, thoda garam, thoda masaledaar! Let’s open with ‘Hawa Hawai’ from Mr. India!”

The phones start lighting up like Diwali.

He takes one call, then another… and then…

Line 4 flashes.
The same number from last night.
The “nervous thief.”

Sandy smirks and picks up.

☎️ Caller: The Nervous Robber Returns

Sandy: “Hello caller… aapki saanson ki gati dekh kar lagta hai… ya toh aap ne marathon daudi… ya kuch aur.”

Caller (whisper whisper):
“Sandy bhai… main phir bol raha hoon…”

Sandy: “Waah! Delhi ka Robin Hood is back! Kal kya kara? Bank loot liya?”

Caller:
“Nahin bhai nahin! Main abhi mission par hoon… aur ek request hai… please aaj ‘Eye of the Tiger’ bajaa do. Motivation chahiye.”

Sandy can’t stop laughing.
He lowers his voice theatrically:

“Bhai… honestly… agar chor bhi motivation ke liye FM sunte hain… toh hamara TRP khatarnak hai.”

Caller (still nervous):
“Sandy bhai… bas bajaa do… main thoda darr gaya hoon.”

Sandy:
“Haan bajata hoon… but ek baat batao… last time kya kaam karne jaa rahe the?”

Caller:
“Bhai… sach bolun? Main chor nahin hoon…”

Sandy: “Toh?”

Caller:
“Main… learner chor hoon.”

Sandy: “WHAT? Apprentice chor?”

Caller:
“Haan bhai… training chal rahi hai! Aaj pehla assignment hai. Ek kirane ki dukaan se cash drawer uthana… bas… chhota kaam hai… 2-minute ka.”

Sandy chokes on his coffee.

He plays the song anyway — because station guidelines say “Never break character on-air” — and the moment the mic is off, he bends double laughing.

🎢 SONG BREAK: Eye of the Tiger – Survivor


---

πŸ• 1:15 AM — Off-Air Twist

After a commercial break, Sandy walks out to the vending machine to get water.

As he turns the corner of the parking lot…

A man jumps out of the dark.

Black hoodie.
Mask hanging on one ear.
Mobile in hand.

The SAME VOICE says:

“Sandy bhai?”

Sandy freezes.

“TU?!”

The man looks exactly like a nervous mosquito.

Skinny, jumpy, eyes like he hasn’t slept since demonetisation.

Robber:
“Bhai, main hi hoon. Aap se live advice leni thi… radio pe nahi bol sakta tha.”

Sandy:
“Bhai… tu radio pe tu robbery ka consultancy le raha hai… and now you’re here in person?! Security!”

The robber waves frantically.

“Nahin bhai… main chor type ka banda hoon hi nahin! Mujhe actually chor ban’na hi nahi tha!”

Sandy rubs his forehead:
“Then why the hell did you choose THIS career path?”

The man blurts:

“Bhai… main BCom fail ho gaya… call center mein bolne ka talent nahi… girlfriend ne bola ‘Tu kuch dhamakedaar kar’… toh main scripts dekh raha tha… chor character bada stylish lagta hai! But real life… haal kharab!”

Sandy starts laughing so hard he holds his stomach.

“Bhai… film mein Ranveer Singh chor hota hai, tu nahi. Tu toh ‘training wheels’ waala chor lagta hai!”

The robber looks embarrassed.

“Bhai… ek problem solve kar do.
Mera trainer, Vimal Cargo, waiting in that alley. He told me: ‘Jaa, store loot ke aa.’
But main darr raha hoon. Kya karoon?”

Sandy becomes philosophical.

“Dekh bhai… agar tujhe chor banna hota, tu mujhe phone nahi karta. Chor raat ko FM nahi sunte.
Unke paas apna playlist hota hai — ‘Jab se tere naina’ and ‘Jai Ho’.
You’re not a criminal. You’re just unemployed.”

The robber nods miserably.

🎭 THE CLIMAX — SANDY THE SAVIOUR

Sandy grabs his arm.

“Chal, tujhe ek kaam deta hoon.”

“FM station mein housekeeping ka vacancy hai. Raat ki shift. Paisa kam, crime zero.”

The robber’s eyes shine.

“Sach? Job mil jayegi?”

Sandy: “Haan. Bas training chor ki chhod de.”

At that moment, the trainer Vimal Cargo arrives — a bulky man with gutka-stained teeth.

“Arrey… isko kya sikhaya re Sandy?!”

Sandy folds his arms.

“Vimal bhai… isko HR department de diya. Ab ye radio station ka employee hai.
Agar aap usko disturb kiya… toh kal subah police wala Sharma ji ko main khud phone karunga.”

Vimal Cargo mutters curses and disappears into the darkness.

The robber looks at Sandy like he’s God.

“Bhai… main aapko life bhar ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ dedicate karunga.”

Sandy pats his shoulder.

“Chal… jaa job join kar. Aur haan… aaj ki raat ka gaana tere naam…”


---

πŸŽ™️ BACK ON AIR — 1:40 AM

Sandy (on air):
“Dilli… kabhi-kabhi life weird logon ko aapke raste mein bhej deti hai…
Par agar aap thoda sa waqt de do… toh sab theek ho sakta hai.
Aaj ka gaana… sab ‘lost but not bad’ logon ke liye.”

🎢 SONG: “It’s My Life” – Bon Jovi


---

πŸŒ… END OF EPISODE 2

Sandy signs off at 2:00 AM, walks out of the studio…

…and sees the nervous ex-robber sweeping the office corridor, humming “Jai Jai Shivshankar.”

Sandy smiles.

“Welcome to honest work, brother.”
