Those days we didn't have a TV at home. In fact TV was a luxury that only a few could afford. So in a chawl of fifty homes, only three would be in a position to own a television. We got ours in 1984. Before that we were at the mercy of our neighbours. Every day we would gather at their place for the day's viewing. On Wednesdays, it was special. R K Narayan's 'Malgudi Days'.
Aah! The moment the title track would go 'Ta na na tana nana na' the neighbour's living room would be full. It was amazing. The rendition of the track and the close-to-life illustrations are still fresh in my heart and mind. Today, the title track is a heavily downloaded ringtone for cell phones.
For old times' sake I'm putting the unforgettable title track on my blog :-)
