Re-live those times - Doordarshan melodies from the past!

It was a time, when life was so simple so easy. Friends were just a call away, in literal sense. We used to run to a neighboring building and call a name, and that person came running to the balcony. Simple communication ... No SMS, No telephones, no missed calls... pure and direct voice.

There were no complications like connecting various electronics to set up a playstation or to install different software for playing with the computer. You always had a real person to compete with. A real team of friends to socialize with and to network with…

The wide spread fields, the mango trees, the woods, the river near the house, the mountain beyond the river, the vacant roads to race your bicycles on, the calm temples near the river. These were the various arenas to play in. Various birds in the woods, their nests, the sparrows - which we helped build nests in our house… These are now outdated and forgotten, due to the sudden surge in technology and electronics.

Wild running through acres of fields and barren land to catch a fallen kite, the wind blowing in our face, the thunder-the lightning and the strong winds before the first rains, the hailstones... where have they gone? I searched, but couldn’t get these things on "google.

However I found a few things which bought a tinge of moisture in my eye, a knot in my throat and a shallow feeling in my heart. It also bought a smile on my face. It bought back memories, lost over the years. I found some songs, and some videos which were a part of all people-young and old all over the nation. A common bond of that time: Doordarshan National TV.

The haunting melody of “Malgudi Days,” the passionate “Mile Sur Mera Tumhara,” the exciting “Ek Anek cartoon,” the mesmerizing “Mahabharat,” the beautiful “Jungle book jingle,” and the haunting “Bharat ek Khoj;” all swooped me back to the golden era, my childhood. Those memories became afresh and made me realize what I had lost over the years. Oh, how I wish to get back those days of simplicity and innocence. I am sure all of you will feel the same. I am sharing the music mentioned above and much more. Go on… live that era again!
