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.

Happy Republic Day
Today is the 61st Republic Day of the Republic of India. That didn't come out right, did it? anyways I remember this day when I was in school. Lots of parade practice everyday after school leading to this day. I was in N.C.C. in my school. So they will select the best cadets to represent the school at the city level parade held at the stadium in my city. So on the Republic day parade we used to go to our school with our extra clean uniforms, shining shoes for the flag hoisting at school. After that we used to mount the NCC truck and move to the stadium take the designated place for our school. Then we had to wait for the chef guest to arrive but it was some how all worth it because we got extra refreshment then usual and we got to march in front of a huge cheering crowd was such a big thing and it really felt very patriotic.
I would rush from the stadium to my home after the parade to catch the live telecast of the parade from Delhi on doordarshan, I used love watching all the colorful tabloes and all the military gear: fighter jets, tanks, ballistic missiles was really awesome.
That also remind me how I wanted to be in the armed forces and serve my country . But its all a fond memory now.But make no mistake I am still as patriotic as I was then and I am still as exited to see all the military gear. May be more so now that i have been away from my beloved India for more than a year now.
below is a live stream of the parade from New Delhi courtesy nic India.
Enough said. Jai Hind!!.

Wish You a Happy New Year 2010 !!
I wish all my readers a Happy, healthy and safe New Year 2010.
I guess some apologies are in order from my side so I'll go right ahead and bluntly accept it.- I have been very lazy the last couple of months, I have hardly posed any real content . I hope to be more productive in the new year and post more interesting stuff more frequently. And as generous as my readers are I sincerely hope my apologies will be accepted and you will keep following Debasisa's.
Now that we have that out of the way here is what we can look forward to in the days to come :
- I promised my self to start some of the open source projects I had always wanted to do . I will be sharing my experiences, progress, code[obviously as its open source , silly me!!] and of course the final products.
- I have seen from the statistics that as me most of you want to watch live, free, adfree cricket on Debasisa's. So soon there will be a permanent home page exclusively for cricket streams on Debasisa's.
- Apart from my personal experiences I'll also be posting interesting and useful technical bytes that i come across at work or find online. That will give an outlet for the geek in me.
With all your support Debasisa's has completed one year now. Here are some of the interesting statics that might amuse you a bit, they surprised me !!!
- We had 862 unique visitors and 2,371 page views.
- We had visitors from all the populated continents from the world.
- The most visited page after the Home page was the page with the cricket stream.
Not significant or great by any means but I am very proud of this non the less.
I sincerely thanks all of you for the kind patronage and support you have shown for Debasisa's and with all of you a wonderful year 2010. As a small gesture of thanking you I wanted to give away 3 Google Voice and 10 Google Wave invites. Please leave you name and gmail address in the comments and mention which invites you wish I'll send the invites to you asap. Please note that Google Voice is only available in the US.
You can watch Live video from Time Square NY as the count-down happens for the ball drop for 2010 below from 5:30 PM to 12:20 AM EST December 31st 2009.
