Nostalgic read!

Tinkle is something we used to read whenever we travelled in trains. It was a great way to pass time and I love all the regular characters- Suppandi, Nasurudin Hodja, etc. It’s been around 10 years since I remember buying a tinkle (for 30/-). It feels great to read it again now.

I was drawn to this book because of its premise, but the execution left something to be desired. Some of the characters felt one-dimensional, and certain plot points were predictable. However, there were moments of brilliance that made it worth finishing.

Tinkle Digest needs no further introduction, if you have read Tinkle while growing up, your childhood was awesome. The very thought of Supandi dawns a broad smile on my face.

Short and sweet.

Good read for unwinding. Had time on my hands and didn't want to read a fancy book. So Tinkle's the best way to go!
