Chandamama

There used to be this monthly children's magazine called Chandamama in English (Ambulimama in Tamil) which I used to love reading.

There used to quite a lot of series stories in these - some mythological, some historical and some folklore. I don't remember seeing a lot of pictures, and used to be overwhelmed by the sheer text content while in kindergarten.

But these magazines too were part of my childhood and I cherish those memories of going to bookshops with mom to buy these very month.

Tinkle Digest

Remember this comic strip?

I do, too.

I remember having devoured these with my eyes! I literally grew up with Ramu Shamu, Suppandi, Kalia, Chamataka & Doob Doob, Kapish, Mooshik, Shikhari Shambu, It happened to me, Tantri, Hodja, Anwar, and all other local folklore in these colorful pages.

And I still can't help revisiting them from time to time.
