In black and white...

Tulsi, Parvati, Kesar, Kusum, Kajal, Kasish- if these names seem painfully familiar, then you may be yet another, rather bewildered, victim of the Great Indian Soap Saga-where heroes never die-they just get their cars blown to shreds, are pushed off cliffs, kidnapped one-too-many times, poisoned by 'beautiful' vamps, suffer from amnesia, get plastic surgeries done, and in the worst possible scenario: dissappear for a few weeks from the screen owing to them being 'dead' only to be resurected thanks to public demand! (Yumraj ji-are you listening?!)

There was a time, not too long ago, when Doordarshan ruled the roost. Many generations, including mine, grew up on Chitrahaar, News Bulettins @ 2000hrs and the eagerly-awaited Sunday movies...

A cursory flick of the remote landed me to the present-day Doordarshan a while ago- it has obviously changed quite a lot, perhaps catering to the hysteric K-brigade fan following! But that familiar DD logo triggered off a wave of bitter-sweet memories from yesteryears, so this week's Nostalgia will attempt to take you on a walk down memory lane-in black and white...

Nostalgia...

The Future reveals Her Beauty to those who remember Her Past and rejoice Her Present.

Memories of childhood are sweetened by revelling in that innocence which once over-flowed from our hearts- snapshots of mine are right here..!

Presenting Nostalgia-an extension of Joie de Vivre.
