Thank you Anant Pai
A sense of loss pervaded me too when i read this morning the sad news of the demise of Anant Pai.He was certainly an uncle of mine, like to millions of other indians, whom he fed with marvellous storytelling through Amar Chitra Katha and Indrajal comics whose images are embedded in our minds. Be it the lucid images of the great indian epics or the humourous suppandi,shikari shambu and numerous other images every kid who ever laid his eyes on an ACK literally grew up with it as a habit.So much so that none of us would hesitate to read these even at grown up ages. Im sure if i were to gift an ACK to a child, it is with some hope that i could also get to read it. Dear Uncle Pai i will miss you and this Sunday i am returning to the Indian Institute of World Culture, where i feasted on your comics as a schoolboy, sit on those same wooden benches and read your immortal images. Thank you for the happiness.
