Doordarshan the oldest public service broadcaster. Even though I might not have a lot of memories with Doordarshan but it sure had a magic that had an impact so wide and strong that even people of my generation are aware of the shows it broadcasted since we keep hearing our parents and grandparents talk about it. Back then it was the only channel broadcasting all sorts of shows be it news, serials, music, sports, awareness programmes etc, I guess the fact that it broadcasted so many shows, itself is a major reason why Doordarshan is not less than a magic. Unlike today, back then it did not broadcasted shows 24 hours but at certain times and my parents tell me how they used to eagerly wait for the shows to be broadcasted. But I won’t say that it does not have any relevance today I still remember how we used to eagerly wait for the republic day parade to start. The shows that were broadcasted were also no less than magic be it Ramayan or hum log or even news channels that people today might call boring because of it’s slow pace and not being chaotic but isn’t that how it is actually suppose to be? In short, Doordarshan is not just a mere channel playing multiple roles but also magician that casted it’s magic upon the lives of many.
