Books Magazines you read as a Kid and a Teenager ?

Yesterday while browsing a Marathi ebook store I came across a Diwali Ank of a an old magazine I used to read as a kid .

What books and magazines and books you read when you were a kid/teenager

I used to read

Vichitra Vishwa - I was utterly captivated by this magazine that brought you all things weird from around the world when internet was not their. Some were bogus some were true but it was entertaining.

Chandoba one of my favourite but is defunct now,

Champak - Still going stron ,

Kishor - Magazine by Balbharti still in print,

Tinkle - Still in Print

Thak Thak

Indrajaal comics - Phantom, Mandrake, Bahadur

Lotpot

Chacha Chaudhary

Nagraj

Madhu Muskan

Hardy Boys - Loved them

Perry Mason

Chamapk, thak thak ani chandoba.

Ani diwali ank. Sometimes kishor suddha.

Champak tinkle luv suppandi jokes

Then all comics esp mandrake, hated archie n jughead

Nancy drew agatha christie hardy boys

All teen detective fiction

Makes me so nostalgic

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....and 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.

Champak

Chandoba

Kishor

Thak Thak

Chintu

parikatha

jadui katha

Ankur

Balmitra

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.
