Doordarshan (3) Poem by Rajnish Manga

Doordarshan (3)

Rating: 5.0


With the advent of cable TV's concept
Multiple-channel streaming too crept

Then came dish-antennas and satellite
Hundreds of channels came to delight

So many channels so many companies
But before DD's reach all were bunnies

A private channel eyes entertainment
But Doordarshan has a range constant

DD is the only channel where you find
Classical or folk dance form combined

Classical or semi-classical music relays
Live or recorded no pvt. channel plays

Environment, literature, Gen. Science
Agriculture, Health and Eco-science

DD captures the spirit of Indian states
And 'Unity in diversity' it incorporates

So truly put. Now with a plethora of TV channels in vogue, we think that Doordarshan has become outdated. But it continues to rule the hearts of Indians as the country's largest and most popular broadcasting network with its wide range of programs. A great tribute to DD
