Can someone scan Old Sudha pages and post all 4 Cartoons in pdf or other suitable format for the present generation kids please?
I used to read Daboo right from the days Daboo was a child.
Now Chandamama is Stopped (How many of you are aware about this?)
I am trying to collect Old Amar Chitra Kathas in Kannada and Scan them to preserve the same for present and future generations. I have so far collected
1. mUru handi marigaLu
2. raju mattu avaregiDa
3. allauddInana adbhuta dIpa
Can anyone collect more?
All of a sudden, just recently I remembered the thrill I used to get as
kid reading the four comic strips in Sudha. I used to wait for the day (actually day-break!) Sudha would be distributed to my neighbour's house
by the Newspaper man so that I could grab the magazine from the Old Man, begging him to read PrajavaaNi first! That is, if there was no RaNaji
trophy or test cricket match going on. In that case, PrajavaaNi would get
my attention first to read the last page!
Shooja was a thrill to read - the concept of a tribe and life in a jungle fascinated me so much those days. I found their lifestyle so attractive, especially when I used to think that the kids there had no school and restricted hours for play!
While Shooja was a hero in the jungle, Azad was a modern day Hero! He was
a Police Inspector, catching smugglers and "desh drohis" in a DISHUM
DISHUM WAY!
While Shooja and Azad were well built, lots of muscles, handsome kind of heros, Daboo was ordinary looking, yet strong and his brain was, simply Great!. He was his Professor's favorite! And his exploits were mostly in advanced fields - atomic research, space age and such thrills!
Another thing I used to be jealous those days was the fact that all these heros had great looking heroines! Remember Bindu (Shooja), Meera(? for
Azad) and RaaNi(? for Daboo) ?. Do I need to say anything about Majanoo?!
And a few years later, when I learned to read Phantom comics (Indrajaal comics, in English), was I reminded of Shooja?
I thought I should write about my memories, and perhaps initiate more
people write about their trip down the memory lane.
I would like to know if a collection of these strips are available
somewhere?
