Doordarshan Days

Remember the days when TV news did not sound like a scream fest and general entertainment programmes meant a treat for the whole family? Doordarshan-a name that epitomized television for a whole nation for decades.

Travelling through DD's corridors and studios, celebrity anchor from the Eighties, Manna Bahadur brings you all the juicy, spicy, and comical anecdotes behind the camera; the iconic presenters who became fashion trendsetters for a nation; the chaotic 'live' shows...while chronicling her own growth story.

Doordarshan Days is a memoir that reminiscences about DD's anxious birth in 1959, teething pains in the Sixties, young golden period in the Eighties to the Kendra's giant stature now.
