Doordarshan- Now in Memories

I still remember that startup tune of Doordarshan.  Doordarshan is now only left with memories. 

I feel all kids of 90’s would agree that watching TV means Doordarshan. 

This prompt took me back to my childhood with some amazing and even funny memory lane.

Doordarshan-Era of happiness and knowledge

I still remember when we got TV at home and only one channel used to be there Doordarshan and with limited serials. 

Rules to watch Doordarshan:

I still remember the craze for those serials.

Ramayan, twice a week Chitrahar on Wednesday and Friday 8 pm, Saturday one Bollywood movie, Sunday early morning Rangoli 

Yes, some rules were there at my home by my dad.

We have to get up early on Saturday and Sunday and study till 7:00 am then take a break watch Rangoli and then study again and 9 am watch Ramayan. 

11 my fav Serials of 90’s
