Nostalgic 80s n early 90s DD days

Say Hellooo! to your school years and your Childhood days :)

National programme was introduced in 1982. In the same year, colour TV was introduced in the Indian market with the live telecast of the Independence Day speech by then prime minister Indira Gandhi on 15 August 1982, followed by the 1982 Asian Games being held in Delhi. The 80s was the era of Doordarshan with soaps like Hum Log (1984), Buniyaad (1986-87), comedy shows like Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi (1984) and mythological dramas like Ramayan (1987-88) and Mahabharat (1988-89) glued millions to Doordarshan. Other popular programs included Hindi film songs based programs like Chitrahaar and Rangoli and crime thrillers like Karamchand (starring Pankaj Kapoor), Byomkesh Bakshi (starring Rajit kapur) and Janki Jasoos.

TASTE OF THE PAST

Do you miss the Good old Years? Hmm...do you wonder where did those days go, vanished before you could know it. Well I do. Therefore, I thought how about collecting some memories and consolidating them in one website. Isn't it interesting? Actually these shows were "something" they were simple and one could really associate their life with it cause when we watched those shows, we felt like it was like a reflection of life. So why not watch those trapped moments from the Past you may realize Simple things are so beautiful.

Here's a link of some intro clips of old Sitcoms aired on Doordarshan.

You can watch some of your Fav Old Doordarshan Serials Online here like PAYING GUEST, FLOP SHOW, MALGUDI DAYS, KACHCHI DHOOP, BYOMKESH BAKSHI and many more just by scrolling down this page. Click and enjoy!

Folks, I would like to dedicate this blog to all those people, who have cherished their childhood memories and who've educated themselves with some really good shows that aired in 70s to early 90s on doordarshan national Channel.

A Retro clip: Ek Anek aur Ekta by Films Division 1974
http://

This Video is all about giving a positive and powerful message to the whole nation i.e.,"United we Stand, Divided we Fall". How we can create wonders by forgetting about the cast, creed and color of a man. They should still play it. I simply used to enjoy this video when I was small, still do its very inspirational too.

Alright people!! how about refreshing those days right here :) discuss n comment about your favourite shows and artists. Know more about the lost memories, just to feel good and be proud about your sweet Childhood days.

Can you name some of the old DD TV Actors?

I can think right now of some popular names like Neena Gupta, Sriram lagoo, Mohan bhandari, Alok nath mmmm how about you?

Farmaan 90s DD TV series

FARMAAN was a hit television show directed by Lekh Tandon in the early 90s. I remember this very well as i myself  used to be so hooked to this series, thru the internet and other websites when I was trying to find more about the show as to whether its available or not in that process, I got to know that this Television series was based on a very Famous top selling Novel called "ALAMPANAH" by Rafia Manzoorul Ameen  whose Huge fan I am myself. I have read some of her Work but I never knew that this whole series was based on her book.
Main Characters in this TV serial:
Kawaljit Sigh as Aazar Nawab & Deepika Deshpande as Aiman

Here are some of the clips sadly the quality of the videos is little poor. You can tickle your mind thou and try to recall something about this show, I think it was about the post Nizam period in Hyderabad or something like that. Cool were those days right! all these kind of Shows were so peaceful to watch cause you are actually gaining lot of info about those earlier Times and the systems or how they lived and all that. What can we say about the Actors?? they were so passionate and really good in whatever they delivered, no commercial stuff it was pure Talent and what you think about this: there were no re-airing of the show, no repeat or replay or Re-runs(whatever they call it) like now in today's era of Television. That's the Magic!!

Watch Some Episodes of FARMAAN : )
Directed by: Lekh Tandon

Produced by Gul Anand.
Based on the Urdu book Alampanah by Rafia Amin
Starring: Kanwaljit ; Deepika Amin (Deshpande); Raaja Bundela; Navin Nishchol; Vinita Malik, Kalpana Iyer, Neha Sharad.

Watch the Pilot Episode, right here ;) its called "THE FIRST LESSON".

This may have not been aired on DD national channel in the 70s or 80s but I must tell ya, its pretty entertaining n I am sure you guys would love it, as it is based on the Foreign students who join the Adult School in UK, England i believe to learn "English as a Foreign Language" this is the course they are "Unrolled for" this is how one of the student puts it to the school's pompous and tight-fisted Principal Ms Courtney, when the student is looking to find the Classroom (what he means is Enrolled for) Mr Brown who's the English teacher learns himself the trouble and humor in different cultures from the students as he is teaching them. I love this sitcom its really hilarious to listen to the students when they innocently mis-interpret things or mis-pronounce words while they are learning. Watch n Enjoy:)">
