No, Vod ka Raja, I used to look at the pictures..esp those of Mario Miranda....and when I was very very young, I would love to look at the pics of newlyweds....whoever started this thread has set me off on the journey through memory lane. I remember the serials, especially "My Life" by Kamala Das. I remember growing up with lots of magazines...Life, Time, several British magazines, the Lusted Weekly, Fillumfare, some small rag called "Peshum Padam", all the Tamil magazines that I never used to read (except for "Kalaimagal"), and the Kumudam magazine occasionallysmelling of "Cunega" a dreadfully strong scent (that was for you, Udhay), the feeling of festivity during Deepavali never being complete without the "Deepavali Malar" of all the magazines, with the "photos" of various gods, and stories.... Magazines ruled my young life, and shaped my thinking a lot.
