KBC the new Ramayana

When I see people watching Kaun Banega Crorepati with such passion and enthsiasm it reminds me of the Ramayan when I was young. I still remember the Sunday mornings when the entire family used to sit together and watch Arun Govil portraying the role of Lord Rama. Today when I was walking across the lane near my house around 9:00 pm I could hear the KBC music playing almost at every house and it reminded me of my childhood memories about Ramayan.

I loved the Ramayan then and I love the KBC now but that shows how things have changed. I love the way Amitabh Bachchan calls out 'Panch Koti Mahamani...Kaun Banega Crorepati'. He is one man who drives the nation crazy and I consider him to be the reason behind the grand success of KBC. I recently heard a news about Sony reaching the 2nd spot in terms of TRP majorly due to the impacts of KBC.

It would not be correct to compare the epic Ramayana with KBC as they are significantly different but the amount of craze that KBC has now was once due to Ramayana. I couldn't stop myself from writing out my feelings after what I noticed tonight. It is just a coincidence but still so true. I so dearly miss being with all my family members and those childhood days.
