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!
- 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? - 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. - 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! - 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! - 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. - 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! - Summer afternoons with Chhota Bheem Comics & Tinkle
While our parents napped, we immersed ourselves in the world of ‘Suppandi,’ ‘Shikari Shambu,’ and ‘Chacha Chaudhary.’ - 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.’ - 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!
