Nostalgic newspaper 📰🗞️

 Okay dear readers. I would like to take you back to some interesting and fun factors in the newspaper that was the main reason why I got a newspaper when I was young. As young children, we know that newspapers, the treasure, will reach our doorstep every morning around 6:30 am and they have to be given to our elders who read it with a hot cup of coffee beside them. And when you see them adjust their glasses it seems like they have a ready solution to the problems addressed in the paper in their pockets. They literally dive into the newspaper that sometimes tend to forget the clock. But to me personally, when I was young newspaper for me meant to have important pages in the last part of the paper where you have 'sudoku' game and Sunday newspapers will have 'spot the difference' in it. That's the only reason I picked up newspapers. I like playing them even now. 'Sudoku' is there in 'The Hindu' even now but I am not sure about 'spot the difference'. They are actually relaxing and interesting games and especially on sunday mornings. I used to sincerely take a pencil and eraser, sit down comfortably and solve them with concentration. Actually these are brainy games which enhance our understanding, alertness, watchfulness and focus on things. 

Another interesting part in the newspaper are the comic strips that will be printed on the second page of the newspaper ( I think so, not sure whether the second or third). Especially in the Tamil newspapers. The Sindbad story was printed in that form in the newspaper and it was actually a never ending story as far as I remember. It is in such a way that if you read it today and leave it not reading for the next three days and come back again , you still get the story and what is happening in the story. That is the speciality of those comic strips. Creatively columned and carried on the story. If you see this movie 'Maveeran' played by Sivakarthikeyan, the protagonist is shown as a comic artist searching for a job. In that movie, there is a scene where the hero explains how difficult it is to draw a comic and make them liked by the readers. Actually it is true I guess, it's not that easy to draw a comic. But I am a great fan of comic stories. I love reading them. And they were printed in the newspaper. 

My sunday mornings when I was young had this one activity every week without fail.
