Television became the part of life, and there was no household, which did not have a TV set! People sacrificed other important things for their life, but they bought a TV set anyhow. No wonder that children got spellbound by the effects of TV sets and there were times when parents thought that TV was spoiling their academic career.

It was before long that the parents decided to completely pack-up the TV sets during examination days. And this in turn increased the passion for TV, more, as if you keep away a thing from a person that he or she likes, the liking is going to increase and not decrease, as some may think! There were times when conflicts arose among the parents and the children, and both the parties thought that the others are not understanding and valuing their feelings.

Teachers were also aware about the growing popularity of TVs and they knew that students talked about the serials and films that were telecast on the TV. Whenever, there was a talk between some students, it tended to divert towards that films or serials or some other programs that were recently telecast on the TV! And before long, some teachers decided to make TV a way for learning, as there were educational programs and other things that was intended to impart knowledge in the minds of people. Somebody got more into the science and found that for making a film appear continuous on the TV, the screen was flashed 16 times in a second. And how the children remember those film and serial scenes, when they tend to forget they learn from books? They advised to read the books for 16 times so that the students could also remember the content, as they remember the TV scenes. It was a wonderful analogy but none took it seriously, as they thought it was a burden to read the books for sixteen times! But somehow, the TV kept its popularity and the charm for it never abated!
