This magazine predates me by couple of months. I chewed off its front page literally, I was a toddler back then. Then my father n mother taught me about different photos in this book. I didnt understand much back then. I used to say, “eeeee!!! Mmmm.. ni ni ni…” At least that’s what my parents say. 🤣 Whenever I would see a new photo, I would call my sister. I wanted to share my excitement with her. I just wanted her to see the photos the way I saw it. And then I used to dream about those photos. grin
The pages are no longer white. It has survived the termite attack. But the bright blue highlights are still there, unfaded. I think this has planted the seed of a reader in me. In retrospect I can see b/w pages of this book in Technicolor.
I have never seen back since touching it. 🙂 It used to break my heart, when I used to see "badam walas " folding torn pages of colorful/ bw magazines to sell peanuts. I don’t mind these days. I understand poverty and stuff.
Life happens.
Today kids play with phones n tablets, I/we, the 90s kids, used to play with books. Any Wisdom, Chandamama fans here?

Hmm.. I have suggested my friend who complained about his son not interested in reading, to feed a few pages of this book from the old book shop, will see what happens. I have pointed this post as source of my recommendation for his confidence boost.

Didn’t particularly like Wisdom though still bought several issues. I was an even voracious reader back then. If only ebooks were available back then. I wouldn’t have to read the same book several times in some cases. As it is my current collection spans 12k.
