Remembering magazines from childhood...
Dasgupta
we all shared when we were little,I would also request our Bangladeshi nettor
friends to enlighten us about the magazines you grew up with.
1. Shuktara : Remember Handa-Bhonda and Bantul the Great ?
2. Kishore Bharati : Nontey-Phontey ? Dinesh Chandra Bandopadhyay's series on
Runu ? I remember a dialogue which was hilarious, stated
about this friend (?) of Runu, by his father :
" O halay za koy, tar soiddo-anna misa kotha".
3. Tepantor : Was VERY good, disappeared...
4. Chchotoder Katha: used to be published from Bardhdhaman
5. Jhumjhumi : a mini magazine, I still think it was one of the richest, in
terms of quality.
6. Anandamela :(of old days, where we read Gabbush Gubbai, a story by poet
Nirendranath Chakroborty, not the recent version for "young
adults" )
7. Some special Puja numbers : Can you remember some names?
8. Please add on... would love to reminisce..
Shoumyo.

Thank you for pointing out my "memory-slips". This is what this thread
is about. I loved Sandesh and Shishu-shathi, now that you remind me!
Waitng for more.

You missed out Sandesh! It was one of the best. All of Satyajit Ray's
short stories, some of Pheluda's, all of his translations, jakhon chhoto
chhilam, molla naseeruddin and Tarini KhuRo would come out in Sandesh. He
would also illustrate other stories from time to time. Like Manjil Sen's
Gandalu series. Then Sandesh would publish Leela Majumdars wonderful
stories, Mahastweta Devi's stories on Phalgu and Nadosh the cow. I still
have the signed cards of the three editors, and
it says "jakhon tumi baRo habe takhon eta dekhe tomar Sandesher katha
mone poRbe." Sandersh also had the wonderful section of Haat Pakabar Ashor.
They would publish young readers' stories, articles and drawings. Sandesh
also carried good riddles and contests from time to time.
After Anandemela's abysmal downfall ( I presume that happended when
Niren Chakraborty left) Sandesh was the only quality magazine for children
that came out of Calcutta.
Does anyone know what has happened to Sandesh? It hasn't closed down,
has it?

What about Tarzan? Pandob Goenda? There were so many nice Nihar Ranjan
Gupto stories published in Shuktara, also Shuktara used to have a short
story contests, I read some nice stories there too, even though most of them were pretty silly.
The best Hemendra Kumar Roy stories were also published in Shuktara only.

You're very very wrong! It's Shyamadas De who used to write "Runu..."
I remember having spent such good times reading Runu in the pujabarshiki
every year when I was in school, there was something very sad and
romantic about all those stories.
Dinesh Chandro Chattopaddhay(not Bandopadhyay!) used to write those
silly "Bhaba...." stories every year, Bhaba => Bhallook balak :) :)

You forgot Sandesh, Sishusaathi :(
Most of the best works from Upendrakishore's family were first published
in Sandesh only, the best Feluda(IMO) which was "Baadsashi Angti" was
published in Sandesh, so were the best of Lila Majumder's works,
Nalini Das, Subinoy Roy, Kalyani Karlekar, Kulada Ranjan Roy,
Punyolata Chakorborty etc.
Sishusaathi was also pretty nice, didn't feature a hell lot of a big names
but used to be pretty decent, unfortunately I don't remember a lot about
it :(

birth of Bangladesh. It was a very nice production for the young, I
mean "Kishore" generation.
I remember the Juvenile pages of:
1. Chader hat (from Dhaka)
2. Kochikachar mela (do)
3. Dhan Shaliker Desh (do)
4. Tapur Tupur (From Chittagong)
5. Kishor Bangla
and some others. Please make the list complete.
I use to write verses, poems and stories in some of these
Juveniles. It brought so much JOY to me when I found my pieces
in those and it is beyond my ability to describe.
There were YOUNG OBSERVER and Uncle Kim's letter and MORNING
NEWS also published a wonderful Juvenile weekly page ( frogot
the name).
It's a nice initiative dear Shoumyo, I appreciate very much.
Thanks for giving few moments full of dear nostalgia.

I already mentioned Buddhadeb Guha's Riju-da stories in another post.
Most other "shikar kahini-s" in Bengali are horrible -- they are
violent and do not teach the importance of living in harmony with
nature and conserving wild animals. An exception is Mahashwets Debi's
translation of Jim Corbett, which was a pleasure to read.

"Gandho-Ta boRo sondehojonok" was by Shirshendu and appeared in a
pujabarsheeki Anandamela. "Monojder odbhut baRi" was serialized in the
same magazine.
>What

Also, I liked the Riju-da stories by Buddhadeb Guha. Riju-da was my
first introduction to the idea that the environment and forests must be
protected. Buddhadeb Guha deserves our praise for having written the
first "environmentally correct" shikar-kahini-s in Bengali.

Yup! "Noni da notout" was in the first ever Anandamela pujabarshiki.
"Koni" was by Moti Nandi, somehow I have a feeling that the name of the
original story in pujabarshiki Anadamela was "Sha(n)taru" but I may be wrong.
The best two works of Moti Nandi IMO were 'Striker" and "Stopper", esp
"Stopper" was my favourite.

Bogola-mama, Tenida, Ghanada, Habul, Pyalaram and all the other
delightful fictional characters who populated our childhood.
However, it reminded me of of something which I had not thought
of before: all these fictional heros, who served as role-models
for children, were MEN. The only exception was Nalini Dash's
Gandalu series, but this solitary exception only proves the rule.
I think the children's literature of a society is an accurate
index of the prevalent values of a society. It is perhaps a sad
reflection of the sexism prevalent in Bengali society as we were
growing up, that so few or none of our fictional heroes or role
models were women. I wonder if things have changed since then.
Probably not.

Which time frame are you talking about. What I remember from Desh
Weekly are:
o Cartoons by Kutty
o Sunando'r Journal. Narayan Gangopadhyay died in 1970 or 71 and that
stopped. It was hilarous. Does anyone know whether those journals are
available as a collection?
o Rupodarshi'r Sangbad-vashyai by GourKishore Ghose: Sometimes good and
sometimes OK. Also too right-wing for my taste, most of the time.
Anything else? I started reading Desh quite young, mainly because of
Aranyadeb comics. Too bad, they stopped publishing Aranyadeb about
3 years ago.

Very true, but then again can you name even one actor/actress in the history

BTW Striker as a movie was horrible and terribly disappointing, I remember
Samit Bhanja, Anil Chaterjee, probably Arati(?) and Ruma Guhathakurta,
all of them performed horribly as usual.

: You missed out Sandesh! It was one of the best. All of Satyajit Ray's
: short stories, some of Pheluda's, all of his translations, jakhon chhoto
: chhilam, molla naseeruddin and Tarini KhuRo would come out in Sandesh. He
: would also illustrate other stories from time to time. Like Manjil Sen's
: Gandalu series. Then Sandesh would publish Leela Majumdars wonderful
^^^^^^^
Since when?
Gandalu(Goenda Gandalu) was Ms. Nalini Das's creation! Manjil Sen
had nothing whatever to do with it.
: After Anandemela's abysmal downfall ( I presume that happended when
: Niren Chakraborty left) Sandesh was the only quality magazine for children
: that came out of Calcutta.
yeah?

Buddhadev Guha, as usual messed up the charm of these Riju da stories
by introducing a lady character(Teeteer) in this series.

Even the kind of toys with which little girls and boys play are very
different. Girls tend to play with dols and kitchen utensils while the
boys play with balls, toy guns and things like that. Not only do they
reflect the prevalent values of society, they also have some other far
reaching effects in shaping the needs of the two genders.
Please don't brand the whole thing under the label of 'sexism prevalent
in Bengali society'. How many woman detectives have we seen in world
literature either? Literature just reflects the reality. As more women
will go into these professions, we will see its reflection on literature
also.
> I wonder if things have changed since then.

With respect to toys, I think it has changed. Now little girls are also
playing with toy guns....:-) But in literature it will take a few more
generations to see so much of a noticable change.

This is very unfair on your part. Why we can name quite many people whom
we liked in Bengali movies.
Actors :
Shuvendu, Uttam K., Soumitro etc.
Actresses :
Madhobi, Suchitra, Savitri, Aparna etc.

Hard to tell, can't recall any movie I'd care to talk about, even then I'd
like to mention a few I didn't atleast dislike :)
a) GupiGayne-BaghaByne(Satyajit Ray)
b) AponJone(Tapan Sinha)
c) I can't recall the name, made by Tapan Sinha, Rabi Ghosh came as
servant and did miracle for a family(I think there is a Hindi version
by Rajesh Khanna), Rabi Ghosh did a pretty OK job here even though
I intensely dislike his acting in general.
d) Nimontron(?)( can't recall the director, Anoop Kumar and Sandhya Roy
did a pretty OK job especially compared to their usual low calibre
performances )
Hope I contributed to your increased funda.

Let's put it this way, I dislike his nasal voice and his unnatural

him and things like that. I hope Anil Chatterjee RIP.

Good grief Sayan! which of the above mentioned characters served as
our role model, for me none of them was a role model I can assure you.
BTW what about Kyabla, he was the most intelligent and resourceful
of the chaar murti.

Hmmm! what about Krishna series by Probhaboti debi Saraswati?
Krishna was indeed pretty cool :)
Also why don't you ask the lady netters of SCB, I have a feeling
that none of them bothered to make role models out of this
characters, trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill, eh?
When I was a small kid, my Dida read me "amar naam Taira" by
Sailen Ghosh, I still remember the little girl Taira doing all
sorts of things which Feluda never had to do, a magnificent
story for the children, what do you have to say about that?

The name of the movie is "Golpo Holeo Shotti". The Hindi version was
called "Baburchi". At the beginning of Baburchi you can hear Amitabh
Bachhan's voice.

Chatterjee? It has Arati's famous song "Ami Miss Calcutta 1976,
Ekhhon-o to keu jan-e na amar statistics"?

I am not so sure. In the mid-1980s, the Calcutta Telephone Directory had
a front-page advertisement by Peerless saying "Son's Education? Daughter's
Marriage? Investing money with Peerless can help you...etc, etc". Now people
who can afford to invest in Peerless are, obviously, affluent, wealthy and
presumably educated people. Then why did the advertisement appeal to them
using the insinuation that money is worth spending on the "son's education"
and "daughter's marriage", i.e. the daughter's education is not as important!
I do not remember any affluent and educated Bengali protesting against this
blatantly sexist comment on the front page of a high-visibility commodity like
the telephone directory.
