Srishti se pehle sach nahin tha.... Asatya bhi nahin...anatariksh bhi nahin..aaksh bhi nahin tha..chipa tha kahan... kab...

Now it reminds me of so many things.. I was such a small kid when this serials used to come in Doordarshan (DD1)..Oh.... those good old days... unforgettable....sweetest memories... I still remember those days though I was a little kid but then....I remember I was a little kid and we used to live in a rented house, my father used to be a govt employee and my mother used to be a teacher in a girl's high school. By that time We did not have our own TV so we used to visit our neighbour to watch few programmes.My first major encounter with Doordarshan was back in the year 1982 with the Asiad games which I wathced in one of our neighbour's house and was so fascinated about the games and also the Doordarshan channel's other programmes.That was like a daily routine sson after I reach home from school I would just eat something made by mom and would run to watch TV.Though our neighbour did not complain but my parents did not like me and my elder brother to watch TV at someone's else's place everytime.So one find day papa got a Black & white set home and we were all so happy that atlast we got our own TV.Thus our experience with TV and Doordarshan began. However that was all colorless and we did not enjoy it that much and we were after papa to bring a color one.And atlast papa brought a color one and there was no limit of our joys and then our real experience with TV and Doordarshan started. Ahh those old days...simple yet so happy life...I remember how we used to wait for Wednesday to come soon in the week so that we would watch our favourite programme Chitrahaar (A programme consists of new and old songs from different movies from HIndi Cinema). We would be asked to complete our homeworks quickly yet efficiently if we want to see the programme.And we would not even miss a single trailer of it.There used to be so many other programmes and serials few of favourite which I used to watch was He man and the masters of the universe (An animated serial used to be telecasted on Sundays). )The charlie Chaplin movies also used to be telecasted on Sundays. Kacchi Dhoop(Starring Bhagyashree one of my fav actress till now which I had a big time crush then directed by the very famous and talented Actor and director Mr Amol Palekar, The Lucy Show (A foreign comedy show),Different strokes (Again a foreign comedy show of black kids),Spiderman(Animated series used to come on Sundays as well),And me and my elder bother were big time Cricket fan. We would do nything simply anything to watch Cricket matches then. We were big time fans of Sunil Gavaskar, Kirshna Machari Srikanth, Dilip Vengsarkar, Kapil Dev and all those cricket maestros. Even we liked foreign cricket players namely Ian Botham(England), Allan Border(Australia),Gary Sobbers,Vivian Richards(West Indies),Jeff and Martin Crowe(New Zeland) and so on.Again the parade on the republic day we used to watch after returning from school.Again the mega mythological Epics Ramayan and Mahabharat mesmerised people and bound them to their homes,also serials like RK Narayan's great creation Malgudi Days(Those picture of all the villages with innocent people with simple life styles) ,Buniyaad,Hum Log(Prpbably the first ever biggest family drama which was a majot hit among the >masses),Nukkad,Karamchand,Byomkesh Bakshi(The 2 mega detective thrillers which made trade marks and stars),Yeh jo hai Zindagi(Great family entertainer) were so very famous among all the people.Even after so many years Iv'e searched for the episodes of these serials and was successful finding all the episodes of Malgudi days and I am a proud owner of all the episodes now.

It's with me always I never can forget my roots or my past am so attached to my past and my memories that often I get so sad thinking of all the old days.And wish I cud get back to that time.Things were so simple.innocent and nice.People were also very simple,innocent and there was charm in human relationships.People used to care about the little things in life which means a lot.In any festival people used to get together and used to share sweets and moments of happiness and joys.But now in this so called modern days people have become so selfish and self centered that they do not even care about each other they do not even have time to share those little things and happiness.Everyone is just blindly running after money and mirages.
When a human being grows from a child to man.Then in the process he comes across so many things,paths,hurdles,ups n downs.And while doing so he does not even realise when he leaves his innocence and simplicity.It feels to me that its just yesterday I was a kid and suddenly I grew up to a man and now I am to face this cruel world.
