I miss those days so much. We used to love Sundays particularly, Chandra Kanta at 9 and everyone used to rush to finish everything and sit in front of the T.V. and of course the awesome fried breakfast we used to get that day. I get so nostalgic about all those days, i still remember the moment i used to hear the title song of Chandra kanta, i used to leave everything and rush. The aroma of bread rolls, fries makes me wanna go back to those times again.
Then Mahabharat, The Sword of Tipu Sultan, Shri Krishna used to be other favorites. The cartoon time used to follow, shows like Danasur, Potli Baba Ki, Ali Baba Chalis Chor, Guchche Khahaniyon Ke, Sindbaad the Sailor, Pancha Tantra Ki Kahaniyan, Disney Hour, Jungle Book, Talespin and Duck Tales ......It was so much fun. And all these shows were aired only once a week, so everyone used to eagerly wait for sundays. Shows like Chitrahaar and Rangoli used to be fun- as you got to see the latest songs. Then Alif Laila, Raja aur Rancho, Stone Boy, 1991 (most fav.), Malgudi Days, Tenaali Rama, Gayab Aaya and Fauji were also good. Swabhimaan(1995) was aired on DD in the afternoon at 3 and though it was time for a nap, we used watch it and then go off to sleep.
Circus, Gul Gulshan Gulfam, Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan, Aap Beeti and the 'detective' shows like Byomkesh Bakshi and Tehkikaat had a message in the end. Comedy shows like Dekh Bhai Dekh, Flop Show, Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne and Shrimaan Shrimati were no doubt the most hilarious. And the educational ones- Surabhi and Bharat Ek Khoj glued us to the seats, though Krishi Drashan used be so boring. There was one show we used to watch, called Sea Hawks, based on Navy; not many people might know but it was aired in the night around 10.
I might have missed some of the names of the shows, but that time was unparalleled. It cannot be compared to the present times when we have so many channels, so many options but still Sunday can never be a Sunday like the one in those DD days. Check out the links below, they are sure to make you feel nostalgic.
