I didn’t grow up chasing prime-time debates.
I grew up observing silence.
And that silence used to have a name: Doordarshan.

9 PM wasn’t just news hour.
It was a sacred hour.
Of calm voices. Unrushed sentences. Gentle truths.

Anchors spoke not to stir us —
But to settle something within us.
They weren’t hosts.
They were healers in sarees and suits.
With their choice of words, rhythm, and dignity —
they taught us not just what to say, but how to say it.

⸻

But Today…

It’s not news anymore.
It’s views wrapped in volume.

It doesn’t calm the audience.
It provokes the nervous system.
Hormones rise. Rage takes over.
And somewhere, the line between journalism and performance…
disappears.

⸻

And Yet…

Not all is lost.
There are still a few anchors —
elegant, quiet, and sincere.
You don’t just hear them.
You stay.
You listen.

And people smile, quietly, while listening.
Because deep down, we are all craving that Doordarshan energy again.
Not just for information…
But for healing.

⸻

📻 Maybe the new prime time shouldn’t be another opinion panel.
Maybe it should be:
🎶 A musical hour.
🪔 A poetic pause.
🕊 A mirror for reflection — not a mic for rage.

⸻

🙏 This is not criticism.
Just a quiet tribute.
To an era that knew:
How we say something is as sacred as what we say.
