Doordarshan – The one and only daily entertainment dose of every Indian.

I still remember the days when we all use to wait for every Friday to watch the latest songs (Chitrahar) on our favorite channel Doordarshan. Today, just try to visualize – you are allowed to watch songs just for half an hour a week and that too at a pre-scheduled time (Friday, 8:00PM) Listen and Watch Music.

Listed below are some of the serials and commercials, that will definitely gonna remind you with your kindergarten days and of course, I can already see a smile on your face Edge to Edge Smile:

  • Chitrahaar – Songs at their best; half an hour, once a week (Friday, 8:00PM).
  • Ramayan and Mahabharat – you can’t argue with your grand-parents on this, everything can stop when it comes to these serials and anything was possible with these serials. Remember those bow & arrows spreading fires and killing 1000 of people with a single shot Wink.
  • Malgudi Days
  • Chandrakanta – Karuuuur Singh (Yakoo)
    • lyrics: “Chandrakanta kee kahani hai sadeyon purani, …“
  • Jungle Book – Mowglee, Bagira, Sherkhan
    • lyrics: “Jungle jungle baat chali hai pataa chala hai, chaddi pehen ke phool khila hai..“
    • video:
  • Cartoons – Ducktales, Telespin after Chanakya at 10:30AM, Sunday morning. Uncle screwz , always screwed.
  • Chanakya
  • Vyomkesh Bakshi – Detective serials of your times :)
  • Fauji & Circus – Initial start of Shahrukh Khan’s career which made him quite popular on TV.
  • Humlog, Buniyaad
  • Nukkad – khopdi (drunken, always – still alive)
  • Tipu Sultan
  • Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne – wow :D
  • Fatichar
  • Surbhi
  • Vikram Vetaal
  • and there were many more to this list..

There is a little more to it…

  • “Mile sur mera tumhara, too sur baane humara” – it was such a long song and boring too :|
  • Days when the TV set too use to sleep; it was between late night and early morning… you must be knowing it if you have ever got a chance to switch your TV ON between that time… there use to be rainbow colored 7-10 vertical strips on your TV Screen with some irritating background sounds.
  • Also, how can one forget “Rookavat ke liye khed hai“

A few good & bad commercials :)

  • Hamara Bajaj
  • Nirma Detergent
  • Ek Anek Aur Ekta

There is so much more but I have to go now.. but i’ll be back with some more interesting, loving and enjoyable stuff till then…,

Keep Smiling n Keep Rolling n Keep Rocking… Wink

ENJOY!!!

W3S’s FIRST OUTING – Everyone from W3Syntactic was invited for the Dhamaal and everyone did some DHAMAAL there :). The movie was Total FUN, Full of QUALITY HUMOR, Excelleeeeeeent ENTERTAINMENT and “must watch” kind of movie.



After the movie, it was the dinner time… First, we thought of having it at FR only, as it was already 10:45PM but then eventually, we went to Khyber, Sec 35, Chandigarh – among one of our last & favorite options, when it comes to sit, talk and have food with some water, soda, juices and soft drinks beer.
