If you grew up in India in the 90s, you’ve experienced a golden era of childhood—simpler times filled with iconic TV shows, classic snacks, and unforgettable games. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and see how many of these you still remember!

1. Cartoon Network & Doordarshan classics
   Before Netflix and YouTube, we had ‘Shaktimaan,’ ‘Malgudi Days,’ and ‘Captain Vyom’ on Doordarshan. And who could forget ‘Dexter’s Laboratory’ and ‘The Powerpuff Girls’ on Cartoon Network?
2. Sunday morning Mahabharat & Chandrakanta
   Weekend mornings were sacred for epic sagas like ‘Mahabharat’ and ‘Ramayan.’ Families would gather around the TV, making it a shared experience.
3. The magic of Natraj & Apsara pencils
   The battle between Natraj and Apsara pencils was real. And having a Camel geometry box meant you were the cool kid in class!
4. Phantom sweet cigarettes
   These chalky, white candy sticks made every kid feel like a movie star. Even though they weren’t real cigarettes, they sure made us feel grown up!
5. Mario, Road Rash & Contra
   If you had a video game console, you probably spent countless hours playing ‘Mario’ or ‘Contra.’ And if you were into PC gaming, ‘Road Rash’ was a cult favorite.
6. Kismi, Melody & Big Babool
   Kismi’s cardamom-flavored toffee, Melody’s iconic ‘chocolatey’ question, and the joy of blowing the biggest Big Babool bubble—pure bliss!
7. Summer afternoons with Chhota Bheem Comics & Tinkle
   While our parents napped, we immersed ourselves in the world of ‘Suppandi,’ ‘Shikari Shambu,’ and ‘Chacha Chaudhary.’
8. The legendary ‘missed call’ trick
   Before unlimited calling plans, the ‘missed call’ was our secret code for everything—‘Call me back,’ ‘I reached home,’ or even ‘I miss you.’
9. Ice gola & Pepsi cola
   Summer wasn’t complete without colorful ice golas or the long, frozen ‘Pepsi Cola’ in plastic tubes.

Every item on this list holds a special place in our hearts. Which ones do you remember the most? Let the nostalgia roll in!
