Read Chandamama [Janha Mamu] Online

I am sure like me, most Indians  have read Chandamama [Janha Mamu] at some point of time in our childhood. I used to eagerly wait  to get the monthly story magazine in our post, I remember I used to scan it right to the last page as soon as we got it in the mail. Specially I liked the "Bikram Betal" stories; a regular feature of Chandamama. While going through the pointless forwarded e-mails yesterday I saw an e-mail from my friend Pintu with a link to the Chandamama archive. Once there I was back in my childhood days. They have digitized all the issues in all the languages [including odia] from 1955 to 2000 issues. Its a wonderful way to preserve such a rich story telling heritage and making it available to the web savvy next generation.

The site itself is quite cool, you can find issues based on language, year and month of publication, though the quality of the pages of the older issues isn't that great but still every thing is in pretty readable resolution.They even have all the vintage ads published in the magazine , completely search-able the same way as the issues.It also has cool online games for children. Check it out it might refresh some of your childhood memories.
