...many people are still there who  sigh coolly   and remember that Era, they say it was   a real  golden age,  there used to be just one  national  television  channel  that too government  controlled,  evenings started with  the recital of  the holy Quran and before  midnight  with the national anthem  ended the  television,  in those days very few had  television sets at home and the owners never got tired of it, in fact  such television homes were tge cultural and social   centers  accommodating  the entire neighborhood   somewhat shy and excited at the same time  filling up the  floor  area in their  drawing-room where the  television set  was kept,  this drawing room crowd  simply  enjoyed watching the TV  together,  regular appreciation  on comedy and soap dramas was shown by  noisy applause by this cheering gathering,  nobody then realized their applause couldn't be seen or heard by the  performers 
His memory was  full of faded events of those days,  he was very small then,  by the time he grew up a little more  television was  part and parcel of every household,  it became one of the most important and common  item,  , it was no longer  seen as an  amazing product,  but he was  looked at oddly because he wasn't much interested in television as others of his age group had 
Man doesn't know of his  future  and what fate holds for him,  someone like him who was not attracted by television  was destined to become television producer,  he had done his masters and like others  he spent time struggling to find a job but unemployment is a national  trend
