And we had no TV those days, so no Doordarshan, but we had the documentaries/newsreel that were shown before the movies started in the theatre. And not a soul stirred when the national anthem was played at the end of the movie. <br />( came by via a comment that you made on another blog)radhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837846875386312338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5671536805876663540.post-9593460010909434272009-08-19T12:09:31.669+05:302009-08-19T12:09:31.669+05:30Amar chitra katha all the way! :D

It's inspiring!<br /><br />You asked about memories of Patriotism.... Paul Revere ~ I recently wrote about him on my blog. The risks that he took to warn the colonist of an attack from the British.. mostly based on "knowing something was wrong" but not knowing exactly what it was... he followed that feeling, didn't ignore it and took the chance of being caught. He was a member of a society that wanted independence and freedom and brought together this country. Going on this last vacation to Boston, it has rekindled that admiration and appreciation all over again.Aletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605214202876973830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5671536805876663540.post-81620428389854887512009-08-18T16:41:45.225+05:302009-08-18T16:41:45.225+05:30I read Amar Chitra katha at a elderly stage becaus...I read Amar Chitra katha at a elderly stage because I liked the lucid presentations.

Needless to say, this topped the popularity charts. The nephew grew up in the US, but still swears by Amar Chitra Katha. The gift is now a sort of a heirloom collection. :-)Ugich Konitarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901335427613806798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5671536805876663540.post-45007366829359066262009-08-15T08:34:30.978+05:302009-08-15T08:34:30.978+05:30Although I don't think we had quite the equiva...Although I don't think we had quite the equivalent, I very fondly remember a series of comic books that were based on classic stories and fairytales. I think one of the Bremen Town Musicians probably even helped me learn to read.<br /><br />Comics are such a great way to help anyone struggling with pure text, and I don't mean just kids or dyslexics. I think when we're learning something new, having visual aids are great ways to help boost comprehension. <br /><br />Here in the U.S., they've made Shakespeare comic books these last few years. The text is not dumbed down, it's just that the comic book form makes it all look less intimidating. A play is the same thing in a way--visual plus words, but the difference with a comic is that it slows it down in an enjoyable way.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5671536805876663540.post-26067173703663301412009-08-15T07:46:27.290+05:302009-08-15T07:46:27.290+05:30Very Interesting!

Even the thought of Text Books used to spoil the reading mood. :)<br /><br />We never used to get to buy them back in Dubai, back when I was growing up. So I used to buy as fresh stock every vacation. I still so for my kids. Though they hardly find time now to read them. I am planning to spend some quality reading time with them when I get back home. That reminds me, I have to add them to my shopping list today!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5671536805876663540.post-32797331868075926912009-08-15T06:26:57.856+05:302009-08-15T06:26:57.856+05:30Interesting that you bring this up.

Recently, I was reading about the Amar Chitra Katha somewhere(not sure if it was a newspaper or website).<br /><br />Uncle Pai had to convince the publisher and also put together a team of illustrators. Waeerkar was one of them. I loved the way he sketched.Nonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13892851938328826870noreply@blogger.com
