The Adventures of Toto as a comic strip

 'The Adventures of Toto' is an amusing story by Ruskin Bond. It is prescribed as a lesson in CBSE's English course for class 9. Maggie asked her students to do a project on some of the lessons and Femi George's work is what I would like to present here. Femi converted the story into a beautiful comic strip. Her work will speak for itself and let me present it below.

      Manga is at whole other level you can't compare it to a child's few comic pages as every 5th book published in Japan is of manga

    I have majored in Politics and International Relations from JNU. And your post therefore was interesting to read. As an academic, I would say well researched. I was transported back to my research days. Unfortunately, over the years, I've come to realise that what we read and what actually is have nothing in common-- those are just theories which talk of an ideal situation which is never there. How themln, do we change the system and an extremely corrupt one at that? The ruling party continues to rule because there is no one strong on the other side to oppose and come to power. And yet, instead of brooding over that, each party wants to come to power not to change the system but to get more powerful and corrupt. This elections, I did vote,but I also know the outcome. Our PM, unfortunately instead of giving neutral speeches, has been deciding the opposition. Can't they talk about their strengths instead of pulling someone else down to remain in power. I can go on and on....and yet, what's the use?

      I think you wanted to comment on some political post of mine but wrote it here by mistake.

      Mr Modi is doing a tremendous disservice to the nation by dividing it in religious lines. Most venal thing a leader can do.

The Ugly Duckling

Source: Acting Company A. A. Milne’s one-act play, The Ugly Duckling , acquired a classical status because of the hearty humour used to present a profound theme. The King and the Queen are worried because their daughter Camilla is too ugly to get a suitor. In spite of all the devious strategies employed by the King and his Chancellor, the princess remained unmarried. Camilla was blessed with a unique beauty by her two godmothers but no one could see any beauty in her physical appearance. She has an exquisitely beautiful character. What use is character? The King asks. The play is an answer to that question. Character plays the most crucial role in our moral science books and traditional rhetoric, religious scriptures and homilies. When it comes to practical life, we look for other things such as wealth, social rank, physical looks, and so on. As the King says in this play, “If a girl is beautiful, it is easy to assume that she has, tucked away inside her, an equally beauti...

The Napalm Girl

Do you remember the girl in the picture below? The girl who is running naked and crying out in utter helplessness?  She is Kim Phuc . Many of you will recall this picture easily because it is a classic photo that played a role in putting an end to the prolonged Vietnam War (1955-1975). That war remains in human history as one of the most controversial and traumatic conflicts. A futile war in the name of an ideology: communism. Communists and Anti-Communists killed each other with the noble purpose of saving humanity from evils. Like most wars, this one was too a clash of egos. The ego of the capitalist USA versus the ego of the Communist USSR. Capitalism won in the end, they say. But at the cost of millions of lives. Innocent lives. Like what has been happening in Ukraine for nearly three years. In Gaza for over a year. Have you seen little children dying painfully in those countries for no mistake of theirs?   Kim Phuc was one such child in Vietnam. She was nine years o...

Is Charley an Escapist?

Illustration by Copilot Designer Charley wants to go back in time and live in the Galesburg of 1894. He belongs to mid-20 th century in Jack Finney’s short story, The Third Level . What triggered his longing for Galesburg of 1894 is his accidental arrival at the third level of New York Grand Central Railway station. Grand Central has only two levels. But Charley lands on a different platform which belongs to the older period. The people’s dress, the ticket counters, the gaslights, the newspaper stand, and the Currier & Ives locomotive all convince Charley that he is standing in the year of 1894. Charley’s grandfather lived in Galesburg. So Charley knows that it is a “wonderful town still, with big old frame houses, huge lawns, and tremendous trees whose branches meet overhead and roof the streets. And in 1894, summer evenings were twice as long, and people sat out on their lawn, the men smoking cigars and talking quietly, the women waving palm-leaf fans, with the fireflies all...

Brainless Facebook

I’m becoming increasingly convinced that Facebook [FB] is for the brainless. No wonder why youngsters have abandoned it and taken to other media such as Instagram. FB censored the links to my blog posts twice in succession last week. The posts are innocuous. 1.      The Napalm Girl : The post is about Kim Phuc, the nine-year-old Vietnamese girl who survived one of the most brutal and absurd wars in human history. FB removed my link merely because the post contained the classical photo of the little girl running in pain. FB’s sense of morality stirred its fervent head. But FB permits utter balderdash written by scoundrels! 2.      Women and Breast Politics : This is the other post that met with FB’s idiosyncratic sense of morality. The post is about how women were made to go bare-chested in Kerala till as recently as the turn of the 20 th century. It contained a couple of pictures which I had copy-pasted from an illustrious Malayalam weekl...
