me and cartooning


it all started here in "BIT".

Cartooning is one of the few good habits that i got in BIT. Before that i never knew i can sketch. I always loved cartoons but never tried to sketch them . I was big fan of "mowgali " from jungle book , and it was some sort of ritual for me watching that on "Doordarshan " on Sundays (10 am). "Alice in wonderland" and "donald duck's" equally fascinated me in those days.

Moving forward the story "me and cartooning", Times of india has "Garfield in it's sports page section . In first year here in bit, mesra ( now i am in 4th year ) reading newspaper was like reading only sports page for me . Thankfully , Garfield cartoons were there ,and i loved the character Garfield so much . Without any doubt real funny comic character Garfield is , more one knows Garfield , more enjoying it becomes reading cartoons containing Garfield . This "love " for Garfield brought me to cartooning world ,and i thank creator of Garfield Jim Davis for creating such a beautiful character .

Once i entered into the cartooning world i became fan of "r k laxman" and his character "common man " . And next things to follow were , animation movies
"shrek", "finding nemo", "the bee movie ", "bugs" etc ( list is long). Now i am big fan of animation/cartoon world more then ever. These days I am doing one thing to show my affection towards cartoons , sketching the cartoons and they are displayed on my room's walls. It's great to receive feed back from friends when they say "good cartoons ". I don't know for how far i shall be able to continue this hobby but for the time being i am loving this and will continue to love cartoons in near future.

Before closing, all of us should look for our hobbies .We love many things we don't know.

@hmmlife : ya , i have watched beauty and the beast. but agatha christy mystery show i haven't. About doordarshen : They have not moved from 90's days , and worse , quality of programs has also been bad ( according to me ) . But still ,good memories about doordarshan will remain for ever :)
