DD1 Nostalgia @ 3 AM in IIMC

Today i truly got nostalgic about DD. As usual we at IIMC were going full swing on the IP messenger discussing all the latest gossip on the campus, about the frustrating Term 4 and how the quizzes, projects and exams screws you. The topic suddenly drifted towards the old DD1 channel and what people remembered the most about it. Now everyone pounced upon this and went back to the good old days when DD 1 was the one and only channel and there were so many interesting things that came out. Some of them that we had totaly forgotten. It had taken us back to our childhood. Of those chitrahaars, rangolis, sorry for the interruptions, Didi's comedy show and what not. The newsreader aunty with her 2 rupee coin sized bindi. To put a few things down on paper sorry on the post. Here we go: ( the list is too long so bear with me). I beat you will remember atleast some of it and that would surely bring a smile on your face.
