At Nungambakkam,before reaching the Choolaimedu high road,there is a small book store.Every time I go to Nungambakkam, I make sure to halt there for sometime and of course,I buy couple of books.
It is the only shop where I can get the Malayalam comic books Balabhumi and Balamangalam.
Though i miss the comic book Balarama and the much highlighted cartoon character soothran ,I still manage to be happy in life with the other two books;at times Boban & Molly too.
Even after completing a year of professional life,I’m still addicted to comics.It is not that I don’t read grown-up and matured man’s books but I feel happy falling into sleep by reading any of the comics.
People criticize me for loving comics even at my early twenties.
Some samples:-
Huh!!!Aren’t you tired of this stuff???They just change the names and publish the same stories again and again.
I think I should appreciate you for still being a child at heart.. 🙂 (Thank you!! 😀 )
You are never going to grow up.What will others think if you read comics?And that too Malayalam comics.(Phew!!!I have no answer for this one 😡 )
The truth is I love reading it.I’m happy to realize that I can change my moods and thoughts according to situations.I like the way characters are drawn in comics.I like the feeling that makes me a kid all over again.I like the way I fall into that dreamy world where there are Soothran,Vikru,Hoja,Boban,Molly,Mantri et al…
To all ONES who yell at me for reading comics,I DO IT BECAUSE I LOVE reading IT!!! 😛
lol.. even now whenever i go home, i get Balarama and other story books from my little cousin sister(she is in 5th standard) and read them. And their mom is like, “mone, grow up!!”..;)
Grow up!!!I think my mom gave up telling that years back because of no choice 🙂
പഴയ കാലം ഓര്മ വരുന്നു.

That’s true..I am still fascinated about the stories which come in them
me too.. i was a big fan of the ” manthriyude thanthrangal” “shikkari shambu”…now those are missing these days…. but the new series like the SOOTHRAN and SHERu.. AKKU IKKU all are quite amazing…
I love sootrakkaran Sootran and cute innocent Sheru , Balarama vayikkathe urangan pattatha Fridays enikkum undarunnu pandu ennokke marannu thudangi.Engilum eppo kittiyalum they are my favorites ippozhum.Shikkari, Mantriude thantrangal okke supper thane.
Yes..I make sure to read them once in a while but standard has gone down drastically
