Jaane Kaha GayE WoH Din

Tue, 6th Mar 2007, 10:45 pm: Just before going to bed, I was browsing thro' the TV channels and in one of them I see a young girl, head shaven and wearing white saree...

Tue, 6th Mar 2007, 10:47pm: Sudden rush of Nostalgia.. Having watched this movie a dozen of times on our national channel, who can forget this? I remembered those old days, when we used to sit and tolerate 15 mins of News for hearing impaired and pray that it would be a Kannada movie; those days DD (Doordarshan) was the ONLY channel and they aired regional movies, supposedely award winning movies on sunday 1:30 pm, every week different language movie... And if it was a kannada movie, it would be either pAniyAmma or one other movie I cant remember the name.. a story of a sadhu, he goes around the village along with his bull (or cow?) for begging (preferably in kind), sometime people give rice, ragi, flour etc.. i cant forget the scene where one guy puts a chicken into his bag :))

Those were the days of Gaint Robot, one of my favorite TV series, would love to watch Robot fly out of the lab and kill a demon.. every week it would a new demon.. it was so much fun. Then, there was Chitrahaar, the only 1/2 hr of the week where you could get hindi movie song videos on TV.. sometimes, if you are lucky.. you can see 5/10 secs of the movie too when the song is over.. that was awesome! we could get a glimpse of the movie.. :)

Wed, 7th Mar 2007, 1:30 pm: I relish those moments of fun when we kids used to fight for a front seat infront of the TV on a big carpet in a neighbor's living room and sit and watch Gaint Robot or Chitramanjaree or Cricket or The Owner's choice :)... 20 years later, I wonder where the fun has gone when we watch TV in our own rooms with choice of more than 100 channels to watch, whatever movie, whatever song you like to!!
