दोस्तों एक तवील(लम्बे) वक्फ़े(अन्तराल) के बाद मैं दोबारा हाज़िर हूँ एक कॉमिक आप सब की खिदमत में लेकर.दरअसल पिछले कुछ वक़्त से कॉमिक्स की दुनिया से दिल कुछ उचाट सा हो गया था जो की वायस(वजह) था कॉमिक पोस्टिंग को लेकर मेरी उदासीनता का.वैसे भी जैसा के आप लोग जानते ही हैं की महज़ कॉमिक पोस्टिंग करना मेरा मक़सद नहीं,मेरा मक़सद तो दरअसल कॉमिक्स के साथ आप लोगों के साथ उनसे जुडी यादें सुनना और सुनाना है.

It always feel nice to go through the film magazines of bygone era as it feels like a journey through time machine in that bright past(for movies past was always brighter)era of films which was cleaner,much adorable and comparatively more appreciative.
