Another story I picked up from the tabloids - Spider
man is going global. The comic book hero is about to
be reinvented for the mass Indian market,a case of
reverse globalisation.
Woman gives birth to frog-like creature
What's even more disgusting is that it has human-like
characteristics in the shape of the tongue and fingers.
Experts claim it looks faintly human.

maybe this is a side-effect of direct globalisation...

aspect:
In the land of painters and bull fights, a spanish

local dish: battered bull-testicles.
They both go and sit in a well known restaurant,
have a drink and some starters, and after some
time the main dish comes adorned with vegetables.
The spanish business man thrilled awaits the opinion
of his guest, but, before even tasting, this one says:
"They'r so small". To which the business man replies:
"Well...sometimes the bull wins"

Common misconception. Shuddh means pure. Pavitr means godly/holy. Eg. Ganga-jal (water of Ganga river) is considered Pavitr. It is no more "shuddh" thoughWhile home made Ghee is shuddh but not pavitr.

Pavitr would have been chosen because it sounds like Peter.

In India, I these comic books were published by "Indra Jaal Comics". They had all the series' - Phantom, Mandrake, Flash Gordon, Rip Kirby except Spiderman and Superman. Besides these they also had an Indian superhero series of "Bahadur". I never even saw Spiderman/Superman comics.
Another highly successful Indian comics were(are?) Diamond comics. They mastered the "paired heros" such as : Mama-Bhanja, Chacha-Bhatija, Lambu-Motu, Rajan-Iqbal, Ram-Rahim, and of course the lovable Chacha Chaudhary![]()
Boy, we used to fight for all these.

I cant pronounce your namebut still spiderman, superman etc. were available in not so famous comics series called .... name used to start with G.. if I am not wrong then Goversons comics. It was the publication of Mayapuri House[remember Madhu-Muskan ??] (again if my memory serves correctly).
True, they were pretty expensive compare to other comics. When other comics rate was Rs. 2/- at that time these comics price were Rs. 5/-
Even Astrix was available in Hindi & English by the same publication....
Even I read Zoro also as a series in D..... comics [they also used to print Micky Mouse.]
I still must be having those comics somewhere at my home....
Oh yes, Indrajaal comics, the only Indian character it used to publish was Bahadur(and her girl friend Nanda ... or what was her name.. and that Mukhiya who used to say "Ganga Maiya Kee Kasam")...
oh.... I am getting old ..
But these days I see an abnormal(or normal) behavior in kids .. they dont like comics anymore .. for them entertainment means TV![]()
