Shaktimaaan and Kilbish

On my high-school days , one of the most succesfull serial on doordarshan was "Shaktimaaan" ..
Words like "Sorry Shaktimaan" and "andhera kayam rahe " was the buzz .. Every Satday morning there would be a tension surrmounting on me .. how not to miss today's Shaktimaan .. though the serial was being telecasted once again in tuesday night .. but the zeal of watching on Satday was much more ..
As for Tuesday's night show ... parents wouldn't allow to watch it ... But most important reason for watching on Satday was if u miss the show u are in the "Bhondu " side .. The person in our friend's circle who would miss Satday's show would listen from rest of the person and he was the "Bhondu" of the week ...
and everyone tried not to be in that side ...
But the main point was that .... Shaktimaan tought me lots of things which my Social studies and history book couldn't teach .. loving the mother nature and understanding the power within ourselves .. was the main theme .... and Kilbish still remains for me the dark... the harbinger of dooms' day ....
Though revolving round and round like Shakrimaan resulted in lots of suicide cases at that time and which were the matter of hot disussion in our parliament also .. but for me my halcyon days were really blessed with a perfect role-model like Shaktimaan ... which I feel the age of computer games surely misses ... (not sure if the repeat episodes of Shaktimaan will bring same amount of enthusiasms among teenagers now ..)
But if MunnaBhai can rekindle Gandhigiri then why cann't the Shaktimaaan ..........
