dear oviya
though i'm not a tamilian, but the way u wrote even i could connect to the whole thing. moreover it brought back nostalgic feelings...i could see myself sitting in my nani's-maternal granny_ house reading through 'chanda mama' in hindi. she used to get it regularily so i would not buy it as i could read it there. after namaskaars i would rush to read it.
my love for the comics was so much that i'd forget that i have someone sitting around. on one of my visits to my dadi_paternal granny_ i took some of them along as i went alone , she would laugh ..look at this girl laughing all alone. one magzine in hindi which is no longer there was 'dharmyug'-like viketan i remember this one with fondness...actually for the ones who love reading ,no place is boring .they r never alone and solitude is also bliss.
