3 Chennai Book Fair 2014 – CBF Day 02 Saturday 11th Jan 2014

Dear ComiRades,

Welcome back to TCU. It was really hectic week end for yours truly and hence the delay in posting regular updates. Was tied up in couple of integrations for our comics and also was making my first ever major speech on comics in a public forum. Yes, The Hindu Literary Society was courteous enough to ask me to deliver a presentation on Present trend in Tamil comics & the revival of it through social media.

Saturday was the D Day for this presentation and hence yours truly couldn’t make it to CBF 2014 venue in the morning. Group editor S Vijayan was also held up in Sun TV interview and hence he was also not there in the venue. My presentation got over by 1330 hours and then it took me about 45 minutes to reach for our stall in the book fair.

As & when i reached our stall, a surprise was waiting in the form and shape of Mr YuvaRaj; No, not THAT YuvRaj. it was a ComiRade from chennai & He brought not 1, not 2 but 20 copies of a single Muthu comics issue which was printed in the early 90’s. If you think that is surprising, you haven’t heard the full story. each and every one of them were yet to to be un pinned. Yes, they were stapled and in tact for the last 20 years.

If you thought that you are though with the surprises, then hold your horses: He GAVE away each and every one of those books to those who were present in the stall and in return he asked nothing but friendship. Have a look into the set of pictures and the man in blue and white checks is Mr YuvaRaj. Cheers to him.
