As kids we grew up reading comics. We used to rent them to
ensure we could afford as many as possible. The excitement of papa coming with the new lot
every evening was one of the highlights of my childhood.
Soon as youth set in, we were introduced to magazines. Politics
and current affairs were much more intriguing then the template following, hero
worshiping, imagination laden, safe and unreal comics. It felt mighty and
empowering to be introduced to the real world. The comics were retired unceremoniously.
After few years in the real world, the intrigue changed to
disdain and excitement to dejection. The problems of real world are persistent
and seriously embarrassing. The deduction that we are still marred by the primal
issues of greed, control, entitlement, hunger for power, reign of fear and apathy
for others, is heartbreaking.
As the CNN world page refuse to change for the better,
Social media drips with drama of humans who drool like babies for attention and
life continues to be an oxymoron; I have decided to retreat to my happy place
again and embrace the comfort of imaginative illustrations.
Contrary to popular belief i know exactly what i'm doing –
