"Mile Sur Mera Tumhara" - evokes nostalgic memories of my college days, when this video was first released on Doordarshan's national network.
It now gives a classic look of Doordarshan Programmes, only after the advent private television channels. Metro popularised the emergence of serials through the success of Junoon.
I am giving below one of the episodes of Doordarshan's Junoon. This is only for a nostalgia because this should find its place only in the thread for TV serials.
