I used to read a lot of Hardy boys🤡. but my favourites were Hardy boys case files 👍🏼. I guess anybody alive today must have read Hardy boys 🤣.


We had a subscription for Chandoba till it shutdown , unfortunately my mom gave all chandoba issues we had as raddi paper , Can you imagine, such a great pop culture icon as Raddi 🤣.


Used to read Champak, ACK too👍🏼.

Very fond memories of sitting in the balcony and reading hours on end....smiley1and getting lost in the stories.

Tinkle, ACK (lots of them), Phantom, Mandrake

Champak, Kishor, Chandamama

Kids section of Sunday newspaper- major highlight of Sunday mornings

Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Agatha Christie- went through a phase where I read her every single day and have probably read all her books by now.

Chandoba , Kishore , Indrajaal comics, Sunday children sections of newspapers

Two magazine , both Marathi closed in 70s --

Kumar by Rane prakashan ( where all the faster fene stories appeared first )

& there was a tiny but beautyful Marathi magazine called " Phool Baag "

It was produced by one Mr Ashok Mahimkar , who handwrite the whole issue & then ran colored cyclostyle !

Nostalgia.

As a kid I used to read Chandoba, thak Thak, Kishor and Champak magazines. There were many Marathi books from small time publishers about raja-rani, and adventures and magic and all sorts of other kid stories. I would read them a lot. Don't remeber authors though.

I read Hardy Boys, Trixie Beldon, Nancy Drew, Agatha Christie.

Amongst comics I read Chacha Chaudhary and Lotpot.


But my most favourite books of all time are FaFe Books. How come nobody even mentioned him. Many times, as a kid I wished I too had an adventurous life like Banya(which I think was Faster Fene's real name) of Fursungi.
