It was this weekend when I was on the net browsing that I thought of browsing the Chandamama website. I was surprised to see it missing.
This magazine has been very much a part of my childhood. I think I discovered (actually re-discovered) Ramayana and Mahabharata through this.
I think it was an evening when I had spotted this magazine at a newspaper vendor. The picture on the back of the magazine is something I remember vividly. Ekalavya cutting off his thumb. I remember asking my mother to buy me that. Probably she did. That I do not remember. I do remember that the newspaper vendor was asked to supply the magazine very month. This was a very good friend of mine till I passed out of school. And somewhere around then, I think, the magazine also probably stopped circulating. They made a re-appearance, but that is another story.
Then there was another one - Children's world. This also, along with Indrajal comics and Chandamama became regular visitors.
Today I have an e-collection of the Indrajal, and many of the Chandamama. The Children's world, I miss.
My friends from my school days - I really miss you.
