In the age of Radio Mirchis and FMs, I still miss the good old All India Radio's Vividh Bharti. Very simple radio station that actually struck an intimate chord with masses ever since it came in existence on October 3, 1957. Its more than 50 years but Vividh Bharti still has many faithfuls and young lovers.

If you are in India, you can surely listen to Vividh Bharti but for those who are living outside India (such as USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand), listening to Air India Vividh Bharti is like a dream. But not any more. You can now listen to AIR Vividh Bharti online and on your mobile devices (Android or iPhone or iPad) for free.

If you like your own music collection, there are ways you can listen to your home media radio on mobile.
