In the past snake charming puppet show, Jatra, jarigan, Sharingan, Kobi gan were very popular. But now these have lost their appeal. People are no longer interested in them. Now television and satellite channels have taken the place of radio. Even television is losing its appeal because now young people are becoming more and more interested in Computer games, Facebook, browsing, chatting, and video games.

Thus, it is widely found that significant changes are bringing about a revolution in our present day’s pastimes.
