Watching "Television" in the late 80s and the early 90s - A walk down the memory lane!!
If you were 80s or 90s born you can easily relate to this blog. We are currently in the lockdown period and as old Doordarshan serials are telecasted I feel nostalgic thinking about my childhood days. Guess it was 1987 , I was a toddler then when Ramayana was first telecasted in the television. I vaguely remember how my paternal grandparents, parents, uncle and aunties(we were one big joint family) would eagerly wait for it to be telecasted every weekend. We all used to assemble in the living room of our rented house and once we see "Ramayan" text displayed in our black and white television there would be pin drop silence. I used to sit on any of the elder's lap mostly it was my grandpa and watch the programme. It was from that time that I slowly got to know about one of the greatest epic. Then it was "Mahabharatha" that was telecasted. We used to watch in awe how those scenes were created especially the war scenes. I still remember the story of Mahabha
