im sure every normal (urban?) teenager would have read Archie Comics when they were kids/teenagers..

The best thing to do when you had nothing else to do was to curl up in bed and pick up an Archie Double Digest and read about the wacky adventures of Archie.betty,Veronica,Reggie,Moose Jughead etc..

Ive lost count of the number of Archie digests that ive read.. Jughead Jones is my fav character cuz he so laid back and likes to eat eat and eat (kinda like me)

and who can forget the eternal love triangle that is Archie/Veronica/Betty.. im sure all of us liked Betty the most!

nowadays i hardly read Archie although if go to someone’s house and see an Archie mag lying around i alwys pick it up and read it…

the content and stories in the Archie comix would usually match the season they were published in.. so if it was summer we would see lots of stories involving the beach etc.. used to love these issues.. Betty and Veronica were the first swimsuit models i adored… =)

EDIT: and of course the Archie comics sometimes had L’il Jil/Sabrina/Josie and the Pussycats thrown in occasionally….

I should have preserved all the old Archie comics for my kids to read… now i will have to go to some must old bookstore or library to hunt for them.. (which is actuallly something i love.. hunting around for books in 5 foot high shelves in some tiny bookstore smelling of centuries old paper =).. those who have been there will know what i mean…)

here is the official Archie site

and the on one Wikipedia

PS: thanks to J who’s comment ‘inspired’ me to write this topic.. harrumph...

This morning, I have been visiting various Mizo sites searching for any interesting story that I can bring and link. Truth is “There’s Nothing”. Seminar on “Laldenga’s Judgement” come close. Bon Voyage to 20 PAMRA members on India Tour “Bharat Darshan”. There seem to be more people these days who comment Newslink news in the English daily’s own site newslink.in, the website does appear pretty plain since a couple of days. An attempt to learn whats going on via email (newslink@indiatimes.com) never earn any replies though. The heated debate drawn by Sandman’s “Mizo Names” at zawlbuk.net seems the most interesting. Amit too did nothing on Sunday. Hmmm, it was Bw’s Google and the founder’s underwear everywhere. Now it’s Sandman. I am tired of Sandman

I wasn’t keeping very well since Sat night. I feel better now. Eat well and keep well throughtout the week. Remember to drink lots of water.

Different strokes for different folks. We probably all know through our Geography classes in school and via Discovery channel that different cultures have different customs and traditions as well as very different eating habits. And most Net-savvy people and regular emailers have been led to believe that the Chinese and many easterners enjoy delicacies that are quite unusual. Case in point, the embryo and baby-eating pictures that floated around the Net a couple of years ago which were later claimed by some to be photoshopped fakes. But according to the BBC there’s a unique restaurant in Beijing that serves a very different kind of menu…animal appendages or to put it plainly, animal penises. Apparently they are low in cholesterol and good, not just for boosting the male sex drive, but also for treating all sorts of ailments…

It gets yummier here

First date
Darkened theatre,
Moving scences,
Holding on with heart-warmed hands.

Last date
Railway station,
Moving masses,
Letting go as our tomorrow ends.
