An old memory, Tinkle surely would’ve been a fond reminder of a happy childhood for many Indian kids my age. And to this day, I love the comic! In fact such was the fanaticism of this publication in my household that my dad diligently collected and preserved hordes of the magazine to bind them into two sets of collectibles. As we survived 2012 (in many ways, I did come out stronger and wiser) I rang in 2013 with some old-school happiness: Worth every penny. I finally decided that for the new year, I resolve to connect to my inner child, and find happiness in little things. Have you figured out what you want from your life yet?

PS: I dedicate this post to my dad, whom I lost 25 years ago. May his soul rest in peace!
