    Yes, MTNL started supplying push button phones with "connection" in the 90s...I guess in the 80s, push button were a luxury item.

    Old rotating dial telephones could be locked easily preventing 'misuse' from visiting relatives and friends. Push button telephones were not easily lockable...Still we had different design lock covers that would hide the Keypad...

All about Taro Ek Dragon Ka Beta

Hawa mithee tu aa ja, purab se Tufaan tu aa jaa re paschim se Chali aa, jaldi aa jaldi aa tu aasmaan se ~Title song from Cartoon Series Taro Ek Dragon Ka Beta Japanese cartoon series from the late 70’s Taro the Dragon Boy ( orginal story by Miyoko Matsutani ) was shown on Indian national television - Doordarshan, in mid nineties with the Hindi title: Taro Ek Dragon Ka Beta .
