It was Flop Show.. Plus on Thursdays Dekh Bhai dekh and Zabaan Sambhalke used to come.. I think Tehkikaat on Tuesdays and Byomkesh Bakshi on Monday (not sure)
People at that time were absolutely crazy about Shaktimaan...............I hated it :puke: There were a few other fantasy type of shows on DD but I don't remember the name. They usually came on Sunday mornings and were fantastic. Also Bournvita Quiz Contest :adore: :adore:

Mangolia stamps FTW :ohyeah: Losers used to buy fresh stamps from stationery instead of collecting them :hehe:
All Mangolia stamps were fake, didnt even have a postmark :hehe: Stupid kids at my school used to think they are valuable because they looked fresh and minted.

Rewind a bit back in 80's when NRI used to be called "American-Return"' date= interestingly, people from dubai started calling themselves NRI too which was kinda funny
I think it was "Foreign Return" :hmmm2: My dad tells me there was this guy in the locality who went to US to study in the 70s and when he came back to India, people would point at him and say "woh dekho Foreign Return jaa raha hai" :giggle:
