My Childhood Memoirs (Part II)

Doordarshan Days

This post will be nostalgic for those people who used to watch Doordarshan in their childhood days and still remember the old Mile Sur Mera Tumhara and all those Doordarshan programmes. Ya i did. When i get to hear those old song my mind goes back to those days 12-15 years back, when we had only one channel Doordarshan and hardly of 12 hours of telecast per day. The telecast of programme used to start with the RED Doordarshan logo filling the whole television screen. There where programmes like Ramayan, Mahabharath, Circus, Malgudi days, Chitrahaar, Buniyaad, Hum Log, Udaan, Fauji, Surabhi... The news for the hearing impaired, even "Street Hawk" Some of my best childhood programs were.. "Turning Point" and "Bharat Kee Khoj" (with Nehru narrating) and ofcourse how can I forget my best ever ... "Surabhi".. I remember sending those answers to swaal jawab answers in postcard and waiting for sidharth Kak or Renuka sahani to pick my card from those huge heap of postcards. I miss all that !!

Children’s series like Hi-Man, Spiderman, Vikram-Vetaal.

Advertisements of Nirma, Kayam Churen, Rooh Afza, Rasna ( I Love You Rasana!!). lots more

National integration programme like “ek anak aur ekta” cartoon, Mile Sur Mera tumhara.
