I remember the Bournvita Quiz contest on
radio with Ameen Sayani - I should - I took
part in it ...followed by "Ravivar ke rang,
Diamond comics ke sang"
Milind
And also the stone man... one of his killings
occured on the pavement outside my
building...

Taking the radio thread fwd, on MW, I
remember these typical people requesting for
songs. "Hamare jawano ke liye," and around
40 odd people (with vague names) requesting
for the same song. There was Ameen Sayani
and Cibaca Geetmala. (Binaca too but I was
too young that time I think.)
Cheers.
Contests..and games.. 8/6/2004 3:14 AM
Speaking of contests that we entered as kids I
remember these VERY clearly.
And who cud forget "Spiderman", "He-man", and the Jap kid
blabbering Common "Giant robot" !
Ashish
Also, although i was a kid, i remember drawing those Ashiad
"Appu" playing all d games in tiny square (82 or 84?)
I also remember kids noting down all Maruti car plate number
when Maruti first rolled out on roads... dont remember the
number, but it was a rumor that if u hv say x number of correct
plate numbers, then they will give u a maruti free.
Mohit And the political landscape was mucho different wasn't it? Daily
shut down. Wonder where Rajiv Bajaj is?
I remember:
* Rupees, annas and pies (OK, I was 5 then) but the 4 & 8
anna coins stayed in circulation with the Naye Paise for some
years.
* A pavli was a 4 anna coin aka 25 paise. (OK, OK, if there are
any really old chaps here, I know that a pavli was originally a
quarter anna!) In the early 1960s it bought you a decent feed
of bhel on the street. A one naya paisa coin might buy a
dubious no-name sweet, but its main purpose was to help
make up 6 paise, i.e. the old one anna. When inflation arrived,
they made a 3-paisa coin!
* When the only new cars were a Fiat 1100 (later Premier),
Standard Herald or an Ambassador and each year's
improvements were to the lights or the dashboard instruments.
* When any given food specialty had only one shop that could
make it.
* When people could spell Pedder Road and Nepean Sea Road
correctly because the signs still showed those names. Now they
have morphed.
* When Villa Theresa was also a boys school and didn't have
the tall building on the tennis court which also had a mango
tree.
* Parisian Dairy, which was famous for its Peach Melba. Later it
became Talk of the Town.

This thread is indeed making me remember
things which I never would have!
@Ameya, that 'tonic' was Gripe Water. I am
sure everyone who is posting on this thread
has had it atleast once. It was a patent
medicine for babie's tummyache or
something, but all it was just an extract of the
Gripe plant. What I remember is the Ad where
4 generations of women give the same advice
to each other. I.e mom-mother-in law-her
mother in law-her mother in law!was a pretty
cool ad.
Does anyone remember Indrajaal comics,
Phantom, Mandrake, Flash Gordon, and most
Pea Jay
favorite short comic-strip Henry.This is before
Diamond comics brought the rights for
Phantom. I still have abt 500 Indrajaal comics
bound safely with twine!
Thanks for reminding me Chandamama,
'Chandoba' as it was for me. I LOVED the
serial stories, and the mag had some of the
BEST illustrations I have ever seen. I had
scanned one cover and used it as a desktop
background for a long time.Dunno where that
file is now.

my friend had an email account with VSNL

so he'd have to travel 4 hrs or whatever to get
to the VSLN bldg to retrieve his email. one

he had were his own emails that had bounced.
how sad is that?

amchi mansa n all many other serials discussed
here. how abt surabhi, renuka n siddarth n superhit
muqabala where u had to send postcards(near to

postcards. and ya the trend of showing "hit" movies
on sunday evening on DD. people actually stopped
visiting each other n would remain glued to tv to
see maine pyaar kiya when it was televised for the
first time.
Swetha and of course radio was a great force to reckon

good television. I don't break any laws or offend
people reasonlessly. So why shud I get such crappy
Coddie TV for their cause? Its just making the kids wanting
to learn hindi instead of english. If the kids could
not understand english, they would learn english

Wafers 3/22/2006 1:34 AM
Only in India are crisps called wafers (or
were). In the 1960s, there were just two
major brands. A1 Wafers were in striped
red+white paper bags and OK Wafers were in
something else.
<p>
However, my favourites were sold by some
little shop that made them on the spot. This
was very close to Colaba post office and it was
a delight to eat them fresh out of the fryer
while they were still had hot air trapped
Ash inside. Anyone remember this company?
<p>
Of course there were lots of unlabelled
brands, such as the ones sold by Panshikar's
in Thakurdwar. Dipped in shrikhand, they
were also quite pleasant, not to mention an
unusual combination. :)

Coddie
3/26/2006 12:34 AM
dont forget indradhanush. it was created years
ahead of its time. infact, even now the science
fiction stuff made in India sucks compared to that
show.
also stone boy was pretty good.
Kevin the one that used to suck then was some serial
called zigma or something like that which was
copied from star trek.
3/26/2006 12:51 AM
Yeah the wannabe star trek was "Zigma". Giant
Robot was something I loved too. Somehow in
those days without cable it used to be always a
struggle to catch the transmission especially on b/w
ECE tv, and for some reason it was particularly hard
on the days that Giant robot would feature.
Also in the early days of cartoon network, late
mornings had a Japanese animation about
intergalactic wars and robots that were spaceships.
Kingkini Most of them are like that so it isnt a specific
description I know, but just cant remember the
name of that one...had a characters Lisa and
Minmay or something like that.
The other recent Jap. animation one was "Curious
play" on AXN. They stopped showing that one too.
Now there is "Animax".

"Parampara","banegi apni baat".....i know
sounds sissy.....
a synopsis:
Stand-up comic Tim Allen, who specialized in
macho humor,
brought his act to television in this comic saga
of a man
and his tool belt. Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor
was a local
celebrity in Detroit with his cable TV show Tool
Time, a
cheerful mix of fix-it advice and humor
sponsored by Binford
Tools. His answer to every problem: more
power! At home he
was a bit of a klutz, however, and when he
strapped on his
tool belt and whipped out his drill like a six-
shooter, the
kids cleared out. Frustrated wife Jill tried to
keep him
away from the appliances but to no avail;
sons Brad, Randy,
and winsome little Mark offered varying
degrees of help;
and neighbor Wilson, never clearly seen over
the backyard
fence, philosophized about the meaning of
everything.
Al was Tim's knowing helper on Tool Time,
along with
Lisa, the buxom "tool girl" (succeeded by
Heidi in 1993).

and random trains of thought.
There has always been a mosque
near my place.Love the sound of the
azaan waking up the skies at dawn,
birds chirping outside.
I remember the trees outside my
place that had green bark and
strangers often asked if we'd painted
them green
The leaves disappeared in winter and
beautiful pink flowers covered the two
trees..Many a hummingbird appeared
every hour seeking nectar..Those
trees had to be cut down earlier this
year..

we used to go there
every single day for
2 years....everyday,
out of 9 of us,
atleast 5 wud be

it started getting
crowded, they
started letting all
