Nostalgia from Doordarshan days
This is probably the first cartoon that I’ve ever seen in my life. It used to come very often on DD in the late 80’s. Infact when I was watching this today, I realized I still remember every line and every scene of this song. It goes like “Suraj Ek, Chanda Ek…”, the cartoon in which a “didi” tells a small boy about Ekta? It’s a story to illustrate the importance of unity in diversity.
I sure enjoyed it then (do even more now) and hope you will have pleasant feelings of nostalgia too.

Re: more memories
Malgudi days was my favourite. 🙂
Wonderful stuff – Thanks!
My husband and I saw the clip with a wide grin throughout.
Sure brought back some good memories. Today with a zillion channels I never ever get to see anything interesting… end up watching some dvds instead.
Will pass it around to some of my friends. Hope that ok.

DD and AIR are sitting on a treasure trove that they should release into the commons.

Re: Wonderful stuff – Thanks!
Glad you had fun watching it and feel free to share it.
Not to forget airtel. I hear the airtel jingle some zillion times everyday
u hear the airtel “jingle” a zillion times in the “jungle” kal.(*blinking * and trying to figure out which kinda jungle u r in). dont tell me u bought the tribals cell phones to get in touch with their technical side.
now this really does sound like “swades”.only we have kal replacing srk.

Re: Baloons and rumours
Of course! But I have no idea who you are since you posted anonymously.
God bless you!
Oh beautiful !
Kalyan…whoever you are…I love you man !
I was almost in tears while watching it after so many years.
I could recall sitting in front of the tv as a kid watching it with eager eyes.
How pleasant those days were….a far cry from the trash they show on tv these days.
Thank you!!
Thank you so much!!! This is awesome…

Mile sur mera tumhara video
Do you have the original video?
Re: Mile sur mera tumhara video
Nope. 😐
Wow
Wow…phenomenal! the mid 80s were really amazing..life was so simple…do well in school and you’re fine…just one channel to watch. I remember sitting down with family to watch The World this Week every Friday night, waiting for Spiderman at 5:00 every Sunday evening (sponsered by Rasna). Dad used to watch the Hindi news from 8:40 – 9:00. Remember how they had ‘updated’ news in the English Bulletin at 9:30? (wrt. the hindi news)…man I can rememer quite a few newsreaders..ved prakash,j v raman, salma sultan, manjari joshi in hindi, Usha Albequerque, Menu, Rini Simon, Tejpal Singh(?)
Man I’d do anything to relive those days.
Could not watch it
Can anyone send me in an email to rohityogi@yahoo.com
I am dying to see that video.
🙁
regards
cool..
thanx a lot of that video!!
do u remember these too ?
do u remember the one called “Gubbara” – asking not to spread rumors, one telling to be careful at railway crossings, one abt throwing garbage in the dustbins, one with birds, asking people to save for the future. and a funny one abt family planning with a couple standing in the rain with an umbrella and children popping under the umbrella until there was not enough space.
there is a chicago tribune ad that kinda reminds me of the last one…

Re: more memories
Malgudi Days is the greatest Indian work to ever hit the Indian silver screen. Seems they’re making a sequel to it , continuing from where they left. They couldn’t make episodes on all the short stories of Narayan because the director, Shankar Nag, abruptly passed away. The first series, the one you see on DD, was made in 1987. The same producers, this time with a differnet director are continuing to shoot the sequel as we speak. It’ll be shot on 35mm and according to the producer, T S Narsimah, it will be quality direction and storytelling, unlike the crap put forth by Balaji. This is great news indeed.
Re: more memories
hi dude, i was wondering since u seem to like it too, u u hav any source, where i can get malgudi days episodes, i am desperate to see em. mail me to pyrole007@yahoo.com
Re: Mile sur mera tumhara video

Re: more memories
I’ve tried it everywhere else myself, can’t seem to get it. The only option it seems is to tape it on Sunday afternoons when its shown on DD National.
Its a masterpeice I tell ya, I’m a BMM student and I want to ultimately become a filmaker. I want to study Malgudi Days to the fullest, its simply the best thing prodcuced on reel by any Indian since Satyajit Ray.
I don’t seem to understand why most Indian audiences don’t rave about Malgudi Days anyore. Either its becaue todays Indians can’t fathom good quality TV anymore, or its simply because Ekta Kapoor, Mahesh Bhatt and Karan Johar have degraded their IQ levels.
Of course, only a few handful Indians would understand it as “treasure”. To most, Ekta Kapoor’s crapfest programming and Mahesh Bhatt’s pimping of talentless skanks..is the real treasure.
Re: more memories
I hope they air Malgudi Days again or even better, I hope one of the private channels buy the rights and air it again. It will be amazing.
Re: more memories
Actually Sony TV did air Malgudi Days once. They gave it a matinee slot instead of a prime time one, though. Most of the Sony regulars won’t even know that Sony TV once aired Malgudi Days. They’re too busy draining their brains on the Balaji crap and the “nanga-nach” & “item-number” music videos. Which is terrbly terribly sad. I’m 18, and even my own peers seem to enjoy these things.
ek suraj and ek chanda
this is a great video. i am thankful to you guys for excellent work.
it reminded me all those good old days. life was so cute. i remember how we used to finish up our work (break fast and bath) by sharp 10.00 Am on sundays to watch mogli.
i wish i cud see other videos as well like ” samundar and chidya” wherin little bird drinks the water of ocean to get back its chicks (eggs).
also, the public video of dd that was telecasted during DD news for the ppl who smoke and drink ( its something like ” on a cross road, one man walks coughing and all of a sudden his heart comes out and runns aways” he heee.
hey but do you guys remember some programs like ” stone boy ” that used to come in DD? it never came agian!!!
please let us know if you have more clippings!!
Once again , i am thankful to you
bye
phenomenal
that was too coollll……..brought back good old memories to life once again. I also remember there was one cartoon which wasn’t indian i guess…”history of man”. does any1 remember that. it showed humans how they were in the past and how did they made new inventions like wheel an all.
if any1 still remembers it correctly please let me know about it at shails_world@yahoo.com
