Doordarshan of childhood days

If you spent your childhood days in India then I think most of us would have scolded the National television channel, Doordarshan (DD), some time or the other during our life. Now when I heard and saw a few things online, I felt so nostalgic about Doordarshan. It brought back some sweet memories of my childhood days and gave me immense happiness, which cannot be paralleled even if I win a lottery worth a million dollars.
Now when I think of it, I really miss Doordarshan for a few things. This post is a compilation of artifacts that I could find that are related to Doordarshan and these very artifacts makes me go back in years to my childhood days. I really wish I could go back to those days again.
This is relatively a new video that used to come on DD. The song is catchy and also has a nice message suitable for current age. This video reminds me of my military bag, running races that we used to have during lunch breaks in 4th and 5th standard, craze for Hero pen, class group photo, school bell etc. Hope the new year spreads education to every nook and corner of this World. Let children be given the right to study.

I remember that Sundays used to be a special day for me during my childhood. I used to wait the whole week just for this day of the week. Sunday is the day when we used to have a lot of programs to watch on TV.
The following song reminds me of Pongal and Sambar/Chutney. Well, that used to be our regular Sunday breakfast in our house. I used to watch this program mostly while having my breakfast.

I used to love the following program. Where ever I was, I used to run to watch this program. Seems like getting hooked to this program is in our family blood, now my nephews are hooked big time to this character.

Long long ago, sometime when I was very small this program used to come on DD. I was such a big fan of this program. I guess this was the first program that released toys of its characters. I used to yearn for them then. Wonder where this character has gone? I don't get to see it now a days. By the power of Gray skull...

There were days when I used to sing along with the following song. This song is sung in many Indian languages. Though I knew only one language of all the languages that were used, I used to sing some gibberish just by sound pattern matching, without knowing what I was singing. It felt great to find this video online. Not bad I still remember a decent amount of the song.

The following video is very very special to me. It is surely a kind of video which will take our memory trail back to our childhood days. I guess this video was made sometime around 1974. It was great feeling to watch this video online. Ladies and Gentleman presenting to you the evergreen and irreplaceable 'Ek Chidiya'

We have been thought a wonderful lesson during our childhood through this cartoon. The song states that if we all work together in harmony there is nothing that we can't achieve. Keeping this in mind lets all take a New Year resolution to work together in harmony and make this World a peaceful and better place to live.
Wish, as we pass through each year, we become younger. But in reality it can't happen. So hope this post rekindles the kid within you and makes you feel younger.

Wishing everyone a very Happy & Prosperous New year 2007!!!

    Very very cute post.. Loved your apt words. Didnt hear the songs though..

    sometimes, even with 100+ channels , we dont know what to see but during Doordarshan days, we just wait for Friday Oliyum Oliyum and Sunday movie...

    O my god!i too used to love that Chidiya video! So nice to see all that after so many years. I wonder if they still play it on DD.

    Wish you a Happy New Year and hope all ur dreams cum True!

     
  • At December 30, 2006 4:16 AM, Blogger Unknown said…

    I was unable to view the videos. But my favourite of all Doordharshan programs was "Tamanna" aired only during summer vacations. The program were meant only for children. It wouldn't have much graphics or any special effects... but the theme would be awesome!

    Sorry for the interruption that was the unofficial tagline of DD!!! But still I enjoyed watching it. It has something got to do with sentiment.

    Indha ulagathula evalavo ponnunga irundhaalum, namma Amma dhaane sirandha pen! Andha madhri dhaan evalavo Satellite channels irundhaalum DD dhaan bestu!

    KK: DD reminds me of good old days of how we used to sit and glue on to tTV when tamil/ hindi songs comeout. I remember not missing the 8'clock oliyum oliyum. Damn now with too many channels, the remote goes handicapped when we keep changing all channels with no satisfaction.

    Happy new year brainwave:-))

    doordarshan na kaevalamaa paesina aala naanum oruvan. but as u said, now thinking about those doordarshan days make me happy too. sunday movies kaagavum and Sv.Sekhar dramas like vannak kolangal ellam nenachaa we can feel the young blood within us..too little satisfaction daan eppavumae nelachu irukkum enbadhu unmai...now there are so many channels but i dont think we will think about this trend like we think about our boyish days.

    BTW, wish you a very happy new year 2007. keep kalakkings and entertain us as usual

Man, Sundays were a treat when DD was the only one around..now weekends are the most boring of 'em all! :-( And I miss those regional language movies on Sunday afternoons and how I used to wait for Telugu movies (black n white classics with stories about bad magicians who store their life in parrots!)

    All I can do now is be nostalgic!

    Nice post, brought back a lot of good memories :-)

    man...that was a time machine travel.
    I will never forget Mile Sur mera Tumhaara. I was the only tamilian in my class in gujarat and I had to sing it in front of the whole school. With a veshti and sattai I damn looked comical in my 3rd std.

    KK- Just now came across your blog... awesome post! You made my day and how! I'm a DD addict, since that was the only channel available for us till all of us went to college. I loved the Shiksha ad (Poorab Se Surya Uttha... sung by kavita krishnamurthi), Dekh Bhai Dekh, Hercule poirot series on sundays, mahabharatha, ramayana, chandrakantha (yakkuu... :P), school days, Thoda Saa aasman, Wagle Ki Duniya, surabhi and lots more.. actually, too many to list. :)

    school video is really fantastic.. the idea, the camera work, music ..each and everything is wonder ful KK..

    பணத்தின் மேதே குறியா இருக்கும் நம்மூர் தனியார் தொலைக்காட்சிகள் ஏன் இது போல சின்னசிறு குருத்து செறிவு மிக்க பாடல்களை எடுத்து அடிக்கடி ஒளிபரப்பக்கூடாது.. ஒரு நாளைக்கு 5 நிமிடங்கள் ஒதுக்கினாலே போதுமே.. இருபது செகண்டுகளாய் பதினைந்து முறை ஒளிபரப்பலாம்.. இல்லையா KK

    பள்ளி சென்ற காலங்கள் எல்லாம் என்று நினைத்தாலும் மறுபடியும் பெஞ்சில் பென்சிலால் கீறிய, மைதானத்தில் பந்தை உதக்காமல் தரை உதைத்த, ஏதோ ஒன்றைச் செய்யாமல் வகுப்புக்கு வெளியே அனுப்பப்பட்ட, மதிய நேரத்து உணவை எல்லோருடனும் பகிர்ந்து உண்ட..எத்தனை எத்தனை நிகழ்வுகள்.. திரும்பி பாக்க வைத்ததற்கு நன்றி KK
