Juggan Kazim’s morning show antics are getting irritatingly juvenile by the day. Last week, pop band Strings were on her programme. As it often happens, one of the live callers on the show failed to acknowledge the presence of Bilal Maqsood and Faisal Kapadia the way he should have, which sparked off a series of apologetic excuses from Juggan K trying to explain how oddly some callers can sometimes behave.

She sounded so unconvincing perhaps even to herself that for a major chunk of the show Juggan K kept yapping on the subject, making Bilal and Faisal no choice but to talk about such fans who confuse the names of the two band members. I mean, come on!

Then for some inexplicable reason Juggan K figured out that she and Bilal were the same kind of people, making Faisal feel a bit out of place. Where did that come from? If this is what morning shows are all about, they can easily be recorded in drawing rooms.
