It is no wonder there are times when we want to connect back with our past. I have never read a Tinkle Digest before but I remember seeing them stacked in stores I used to visit during childhood. Years later I saw this again near the gate of a shop in a shopping mall and picked it up. I have never been a fan of comics and that day it still felt the same - small fonts and sound-in-text, & too many pictures. I put it back hoping to never get it again.

Aaaaannnnd, here I am writing about after 3 years. The only difference was I read the Kindle version which did the two things that made me go through it - one section at a time and zoom in.

This is all I had needed to get hooked to the stories and facts provided in it. The stories are the same old - morals and good deeds but the pictures made them interesting. The facts as always make me wonder how much I do not know.

It is great to finally give it a finish - and I bought a new one! I do want to give the book a try now. I hope I overcome the challenges faced earlier knowing that the content is worth the discomfort in the starting.
