I remember the year 1974 (when I was just 4 years old) being handed over a comic book by my cousin Moorthy in Madras (now Chennai).

My younger cousins shared mine. My young nephew even reads them today when he visits our home town Palakkad in Kerala from his metropolis Dubai. The ACK had such a great influence on me that I narrate the stories as bed time stories to my kids who are 8 & 4 years now who cling close to me to hear the stories and go off to sleep. I did not have to create my own stories as I had a big store of them in my memory and there was not a single day that passed by without me narrating a story about either the mythological figures, Indian freedom fighters or some of the later ones from Tinkle wherein I was able to buy as I could afford to buy them and read through them. When Indiatimes announced an offer I got myself around 200 titles of ACK. Uncle Pai the name asssociated with ACK is always nostalgic in my memory etched there & I hope my kids relay i

Since childhood, ACK was the first choice over other mags. Learnt so many stories from ACK. He retained and retold the indian literature and epics in easier way, everybody still enjoy that. Grand Salute
