““Cable TV turned out to be slightly disappointing compared to all the salesmen talk that preceded it. We didn’t have 50 channels. We had one, that too available only between 6 pm and 10 pm. The channel was run by one of the leading political parties of the state. The channel’s logo was the party symbol, a yellow-orange sun. In hindsight, I wonder why this conspicuous display of nepotism never bothered us. But ironically in those days, the familiarity of the yellow-orange sun gave us some degree of comfort and trust.””
