An article in today's newspaper caught my eye.Anant Pai,the Master Story Teller bid adieu to all his fans on the 24th of February last year and to pay a fitting tribute to the great soul, Amar Chitra Katha Media was all set to release a comic book based on his life.What an apt tribute to honour the great man!
As little kids, each one of us has had the pleasures of reading the Amar Chitra Katha and the Tinkle comics.We did not have other sources of entertainment like computers and PSP's.We had a few progammes on television that caught our fancy and of course we enjoyed the outdoors!Beyond this,it was these comics which were our companions.It was so interesting to learn about Prithviraj Chauhan,Shivaji,Krishna and many more through the world of comics.Tinkle comics came in later and added to the fun with various interesting facts,jokes etc.These comics introduced us to the culture and values ,great personalities of India and also introduced us to mythological tales.
What a treasure these comics were! These humble comics have been replaced by the encyclopedias and Tell Me Why's .But, frankly speaking, nothing can match the simplicity and the magic of comics.Hats off to the Master Story Teller for bringing us the joy of comics!Even today, inspite of all the competition Amar Chitra Kathas are sold in large numbers.
I am waiting to get my copy of the comic based on the life of this great soul.
If you haven't yet read any of these comics, you are surely missing something!
Buy a comic book for your little kid and get addicted to the joy of comics along with him/her.
Get hold of a copy today and you will not regret it.
Happy reading!
