Shakalaka boom boom
“mujheshakalaka boom boom pencil chahiye” was probably our most common
rant when we were in our KG’s.
The story of a magic pencil in the
hands of a teenager was perhaps one of the most favourite shows of every 90s
kids. Sanju , with his magic pencil ,could just draw anything with it and
SKADOOOSH!!!!! It turns real. It was perhaps the utmost coolest thing our 10
year minds could conjure in its imagination.
The power that the magic pencil
commanded was the biggest dream for every kid back when the show aired. The
uniqueness being that the magic pencil always commanded a smiling face no
matter what was drawn with it thereby giving every kid a message that no matter
what life puts us through we must conquer it with bravery and most importantly
with a smile.
The
series that aired during 2000 and 2004 was deemed as ‘magic in the air’ by the
Indian express was widely appreciated by critics as well as parents to whom the
show came as relief. The show was not about a super human conjuring power to
make the world a better place but simply about a kid who was given the
responsibility of a magic pencil, thus making the kids realise that their
actions are solely responsible to bring magic into the world.
