mera pehla pehla pyar

it all started with black and white t.v and the one and only doordarshan.remote was unheard of in those days,so there was no competition to get control over remote control.doordarshan provided a rich cocktail of programmes those days,a blend of music,comedy,drama and knowledge.who can forget rangoli and chitrahaar.there were programmes to enrich your grey cells like bharat ek khoj,surabhi.byomkesh bakshi,tehkikaat had the thrill to chill the spine.alif laila,chandrakanta,vikram betaal gave wings to fantasy.after coming from school i shared my afternoon with dekh bhai dekh,swabhimaan and shanti.sundays were studded with cartoons like the jungle book,talespin and duck tales.how can one forget greats like potli baba ki,neem ka ped,mitti ke rang,malgudi days,junoon,sansaar.now we have got plethora of news channels but who can match sarla maheshwari in hindi news reading and sunit tandon in english.
gone are those days when serials were down to earth. serial these days have become N.R.I. look at the saas bahu serials,ladies wearing heavy makeup 24,7 ,costly sarees,living in mensions.light never goes off in their house,they never sweat,the gain and loss is always in crores in their business,gents never look for jobs because they are always born with golden spoon in mouth.
it is very hard to forget your first love,miss you doordarshan.
