Possessing a Television Set back in the 80s brought along neighbors envy, although in my case it was rather curiosity. I'd heard about Television and had seen the Yagi Television Antennas on few Roof tops. Looking at them made me always wonder how could people stare at it to view the pictures (poor me, I didn't know about the CRT then!). So when my neighbor across the road bought a Television (a color TV! oh my God!!), I hopped into their living room to take a look and was offered sweets (in celebration), not to mention that I was also awed by the TV.If I remember correctly, it was a Sunday and Good Old Doordarshan was telecasting the serial Rajni (Remember the famous woman crusader played by Priya Tendulkar who fought for the rights of the common man?). I was very excited... the TV was controlled by a remote - neat! Since then, I was their regular visitor until my father got us a Sony 21" B/W TV. I'd had to be content with it until I moved out for further studies and bought my own Color TV when I got a Job.
I'm now in Pune on a Project; had to sell off the TV (sigh!)
