We used to eagerly wait for Sunday morning cartoon shows and evening movie shows. Remaining week days(or rather school days) we hardly had time to watch TV ... 3-6 used to be our play time in open grounds/gardens and late evening we either chatted with parents/friends or do school homework ... we were dead in bed by 9-10pm.

I was having my Kaapi this morning and relishing this post. I loved the opening statement(chitrahaar, buniyaad and all those episodes were my favorite too) and by the time I finished my kaapi, I was laughing hilariously at 7 in the morning!!!

Mom and dad usually say about this. Whenever there is an old film showcased on TV, daddy calls us out and order us to watch those movies. His words are true. Before cinema's were so meaningful. These days only few we can find. I too sang 'aap jaisa koi song' once but I had misinterpreted the song the same way you have mentioned above. Daddy corrected my singing once. Lol good old days they were. <br /><br />We had Philips raido then where I would tune into Aakashwani. I used to have collection of cassettes and play it on tape recorder.
