I remember when i'd get on with my friends, he'd put on FM radio that played western pop. Natya sangeet on DD. There would sometimes be flies in the studio and land on the news readers. Ruchi this is for you Bombay monopoli game!! I dont know whether u used to play the Marathi monopoli game Crowaford Market, Nal-bazar, flora fountain, Marin lines, churchgate, vile parle, andheri etc.

I just might Ashish sorry, but this one HAS to be in marathi. Munshi Premchand ki amar kahaniyaan Sukanya Teri kahani hai niraali Mullah Nasruddin with Zohra Sehgal.. I still say that a lot! Neenv I totally wanted to go to boarding school when I saw that serial Udaan. OK and there was this funny serial with this housing society that all had kids at the same Vikram time but al the kids got exchanged at birth Funnily, the Punju parents got the Tamilian kid who true to ishtyle, was as Tam as one can get and the Gujju parents got the Bong kids..

I remember that statement too We managed the translation allright but then she flummoxed us with "But vhat eej balls? Malgudi days anyone? The World This Week? Has this been mentioned before?

Also Aavo Maari Saathe: special program for Gujjus. I want to add all those national integration documentaries which were made.

Mile Sur Mera Tumhara. So So So So rocked. In memory of that, some students from MIT Ruchi have made this video which is fantastic. Vishal introduced me to it. Its fantastic. Check it out guys. This link I got from there. I have 2 copies of a magazine. Super hero types. Guess who the super hero is? Its wild!!! Salil mite even hav em lyin around somewhere.

Back to random and arbit memories.. I did it!! Durga Pujo at the ground next to Patwardhan Park and mom talking about how the Bongs eat meat in front of the Goddess!

Shame shame Anyway, these seem to be more of my memories Croissants etc. Fashion street. Irish coffee at Prithvi theater. Frankies on Linking road. The stench of Mankhurd, with dirty men doing tatti Sat on the street. HSC results and Ruparel college always having toppers.

Aggarwal classes and Tiwari classes. Halo Shampoo ad and the girl in it with a blunt cut. Rasna ads in the summer. Ah summer. Anando chutney sandwiches at Chowpatty. And Masala Milk. Kulfi wala's. The sugarcane sellers with the dim lamp with them. Sudarshan's dosa's at Malabar Hill. And one of my best friends was the first Rasna girl.

At random, Bombay "KadakLaxmi" on the streets, the exploits of members "dombaris".. The ppl who used to carry that big cotton Ashish knitting harpoon type machine over thier shoulders making that "twang twang" sound.. Making sand forts n mountains on Dadar Chawpati.. The serial I thot it was a well made one Burman himself!!! Chai coffee ke sang khaye.. Mehmaanon ko khush kar jaye.. Rabbit says: Lijjat Papad!! I'm sooo nostalgic now! And I didn't mind Now that brngs back memories!!!!!

Once I turned on the TV in time for Invisible Man and was shocked to see a very visible Sardar screaming his head off over some Punjabi song Pea Jay Russian cartoon films.. Disney TV on SUnday He-Man, Spiderman. Super-Six does anyone remember that damn series? Ek Shunya Shunya rocked.. So cute! I did the unthinkable Milind and now we have an absolute blast!! And table cricket Milind, that would make for a great time with darts thrown in!!

Mohit Btw, I remember the prudential cup final, live. Very very wierd. And that no matter what good prevailed over evil? Irshad Back in the 80s, Linking Road had a green cover! Boy that HAS to be aeons ago. My earliest memory of cab fare was a Rs. Sometime in 88 or thereabouts.

Even Irshad when I started going to college in 96, rick rides were Rs. It's really gone haywire from there. Thanks Salil for starting it! U'd probably still get it at Juhu beach Long before wada paav!

I remember the furore in our colony when we got our first black and white Sahil set just before the Olympics The first, albeit short-lived, of the styrofoam invaders! I remember weekend outings with my father to go watch the latest Bond movies! And the cheese straws there But brilliant sea food, nonetheless Oh I cld go on and on And the food.. PS Albless Baug was named after this Parsi philanthropist who was surnamed Albless because of his habit of walking around wishing people "God Bless".

I wonder how the Readymoney's got their name It was closed down afterwards to make a new one, Pea Jay any news about that guys?? I played them all How about Chor Police? We played that all the time.. Our neighborhood never got around to the rules-waala games like cricket or football. I spy! As far as I know, you could get out of getting punched during hoppingo-battingo if you drew Vikram a dot on your palm where did that nonsense come from? And what the hell is up with Birthday bumps?

I always wwent home after my birthday at school with a terrible backache! Speaking of borthdays, how did you like to dress up differently from all the other kids in uniform at school and then distibute candies to the other kids in your class?

There was a chap called Jal whose dad took all Bombay the kids out to Chowpatty to ride the camel, members and the camel ride cost them just one rupee Irshad awesome. And every show, a house-full. Damn, I'm old. You know, sometimes I can quote the entire 1st. A little vodka might be involved. We used to play rounders in table tennis on my building tank Vikram We also used to rent bicycles St.

Theresa's bike shop in Bandra.. It's still there.. And when I say we, I mean all the kids I gre up with It seems the mmid-late 70's were this very fertile period in Bandra history. We were almost kids the same age in buildings.

Today we have 3. I forget this bit.. Very suggestive lyrics dontcha think? The perverse Leena poetry does come back but no way would I remember it up myself!!! And I have this urge to watch Beautiful People with all of the folks coming out in support of the movie..

I'll look it up at the library.. Dylan We didn't call it rounders but we had something called "Round Toss" while playing hand tennis why, on the terrace, of course..

My two paise worth contribution excuse me if some are repeated :. Dada Dadi Ki Kahaniyan or was it nana nani? Gardhab das rocked. Does anyone remember Tegrat, and that they Irshad thought it'd be cool if his name spelt Target backwards. Detective Moochwalla and Pooch! They totally rocked. I loved Target and the stories of kids in Delhi.. I remember every time my dad bought us a Target how my sister and me would bug him to move to Delhi so we could live those cool Vikram Delhi Public School lives I have the Target diary circa !

I guess I need to chuck it out at some point.. Bombay Also Maggi wrapper schemes were awesome. Once me and bro went to the shop with 17 wrappers. I was the only uncool kid in school. Irshad What a sad state of affairs! ALL of them, think hard. I was in the 3rd standard in boarding school and suddenly once after holidays every kid had those cool shoes with the velcro pocket in the side Some of them would actually stuff their pocket money, a grand Rs.

Of course, the shoes themselves started to get stolen by Irshad other kids I pestered my dad the next time to buy me the stuff, he refused. I even asked all the firang uncles and aunts if they could send me those, needless to say I didn't get them. I had to make do with my Corona canvas shoes. Forgot about the NAB Somehow, the school would never donate all of the money that the students contributed ever! Irshad I listed just things because the list wasn't bigger than that. Some smart alecs attached paper and put more than items.

Althought I'd give you a prize for creativity! BTW, an interesting tidbit - Mr. Narang had an atrocious sense of dress that was a leftover from the gaudy 70s and loved saffron suits and green shirts. Narang was badly injured after a fight scene with Amitabh on the docks. So where do the amusement parks and the ads figure? Oh, that's how Mr. Narang sent code messages to Agent Orange - through the innocuous ads, to give him the exact location for delivery on the Amusement park grounds.

The clowns in the ads mark the spot. Some say Mr. Narang is still alive today and has moved to the US, where he has patented his secret formula and they use it in Fanta. IIRC, I was in 7th then, so that makes it or Varun some sidey Knowledge program.

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. This is before Diamond comics brought the rights for Phantom. I still have abt Indrajaal comics bound safely with twine!

Thanks for reminding me Chandamama, 'Chandoba' as it was for me. I had scanned one cover and used it as a desktop background for a long time. Dunno where that file is now.

I had to spend a week at Mantralaya - torture. Having said that I was quite impressed, the so-called "bureaucracy" was actually quite alert. I never had to wait for more than minutes to meet any secretary, and all correspondence between the PA and me Irshad happened quickly.

But, the safari suits and pan chewing babus are really nauseating, not to mention the gold pen they keep in the top pocket! Varun Aasmaan se gira.. I was in 5th then, I guess. That "awesome" program on DD about the Indians in space and their adventures? Indradhanush truly stretched it, time travel Irshad through a video game? But we all bought it :D Sigma Do you remember that ad for some tea, was it lipton? Anyone into Inspector Ghote?

Varun delhi serials I used to travel with my mom all the time. Used to love going and buying the ticket. Ma used to give me the change and I remember reconfirming the destination times before actually mustering up the courage to say the same to the conductor. Ruchi Then, school days, when I needed to go somewhere. I used to be so scared inspite of proper instructions on how to go anywhere.

From opera house to Churchgate, Regal, chira bazaar, napeansea road Had bought a bus directory as well. Once, I took a to Regal only to realize that it went to Ballard Pier it comes back from Regal and then I got lost. I was so scared!!! Some of my favourite bus routes are: 66, , 85, 92 ltd, double decker i miss , 83, 86, 28, oh god, the list will go on!!

Maybe we should start another thread on buses. And of course its song"chaddi pahan ke phool khila Deepa hai". Bus Route No. Do YOU remember? Salil 6 What was the shape of the 3 paisa coin? Salil Answers The combination of Fork and spoon? Pooja Bedi? Hexagonal Vikram not bad, not bad Tarabai Hall was I think his stomping ground. It was still there a year ago. My favourite snack there as a kid was a "maska bun" - a sweet bun with sultanas in it and topped with yellow Polson's Butter better tasting than the white Amul.

Kalaghoda - yes, it was Eddie the 7th. I sit corrected. Earliest double decker buses were there in the s if not earlier. The big innovation in the 70s was the articulated double decker, which couldn't handle the sharp turn at Portuguese Church in Girgaum and often toppled over. Another treat used to be "jelly custard" at Satkar on the corner of A Road all the Udipi dishes were also great.

I really miss seeing the constant parade of street pedlars:. I don't think any other city had such a range of goodies In the movie Angoor, with double roles of Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma, there is a song, which in the film was performed by Deepti Naval inside an auditorium. Whenever I see that bit in the movie, I always get Deja Vu. Which audi is it? I am damn sure I have Varun been there for some Dandiya show hint: might be in a gujarati community but I can't seem to recollect where and when?

So please help me recollect the name and location of the hall. The one that burnt down? Ash: What is the ration rice walla?

I know Vikram all the rest but I'm not quite sure what the rationricewalla did Kalhaiwala : thats wot we call in marathi.. I remeber this procedure used to create a lot of smoke of weird smell. Ashish Dombaris : The street circus ppl.. I never saw then recently..

Enlighten me. NOW you remember! Papa Shango didn't feature in the WWF cards though Yea I remember both of those, but didn't know they fought the first match televised on Prime sports. Irshad Thanks salil, you've made everyone dig deep into their brains for some amazing long lost memories! Anyways, we friends used to update our card collection every month or so.

Nowadays, I dont even update my supposedly-all-important lab notebook that often! There's a name from the past The pretty girl with the dimpled chin and frazzled hair Wonder what happened to her Cant believe what age does to people.

Still, if you are curious, do a google Bombay image search. It was here that I started my love affair with ice-creams. Never liked them before. My favourite one used to be the Tropical Paradise, I think. Simply heaven. And we should also not forget Vadilal. I've eaten my first kala-khatta ice-candy there. Was so yummy. Also the Croissants Etc craze which hit everyone at the same time.

I remember, it used to be such a dating ground with us kids About the mail van thingie, we used to cross Ruchi our fingers and could uncross them only when we saw a black car. Feels Starry Eyed Found this song towards the end of school and didnt really listen to it until the other day now it has not come off repeat for like 3 days Alexandra Stan- Mr. Saxobeat This is a jam Shout out to the Plum Tree!
