The magic of DoorDarshan....

There were a host of serials....

Who can forget Ramayan and Mahabharat...epics exemplar,potrayed in an even more sublime manner.Actors of not so high a caliber were immortalised.Arun Govil with his all pervading smile representing the unfaced character of Shri Ram or Nitish Bharadwaj as Lord Krishna always up to his tricks and play of words.These were the pillars of the TV entertainment era as it began to take shape.Also the title tracks of both were so popular,mellifluous music.

There were also the entire gamut of cartoons for all of us.HE-MAN...By the power of Greyskull and we saw with awe as the pusillainmous Battle cat become a ferocious companion.
Then there was Tail spin with Balu and Kit cloudwala ,also Punter with his stupid jokes and Don karnash and Sher Khan followed by Duck Tales...Uncle Scrooge(this guy was too good swimming in gold coins!!!) and of course Launchpad"Chalen Mr Mcdee yeh hamara nau so ninyanve crash hai!" Also Jungle Book with Mowgli and akudu ,pakdu,leela,chameli,ka,bageera,bhalu,sher khan and sarpanch...the Akela the call which used to symbolise the meetings oooohhooooooonnnn.The animation was so good(actually this was Japanese) and the song jungle jungle pata chala hai penned by Gulzar..all of this made a total package hard to resist...

There were also a host of little snippets by the various government initiatives like the superb and yet simple song EK CHIDIYA ANEK CHIDIYA i have almost heard it every day in my KG and Prep days,here a small boy is told about the power of unity by his sister by various examples,beautiful animation .Then the songs like Mile Sur Mera Tumhara,Baje Sargam Har Taraf se Goonje Ban Kar DESH raag also The title tracks of Chanakya and Bharat Ek Koj.
I can go on and on..but maybe some other time...i hav collected many of these cherished moments,will try to upload these so that others can relive those beautiful days too...
