Tintin, you taught me to fight, you taught me the essence of brotherhood.

He is favourite hero after Popeye.
He stands misplaced in our time;
all about him an endless climb,
swirling worlds around him spin,
friends support as he fights the din.
Can he survive societies slime?
Externally unchanged battling crime
while inside rings a tattered chime.
Innocence in a world of sin,
he stands misplaced.
From snows of Tibet to rows of lime,
to Bombays beggars he slips a dime.
The captain at hand his only kin,
Snowy at heel, our hero Tintin.
Herge's voice remains that of a mime,
he stands misplaced.

So! Something good has finally come out of this mind-boggling lockdown we continue to find ourselves in, something that certainly needs documenting in my highly irregularly maintained lockdown diary. I have finally restarted reading my Tintin comics again!! 💖😍
I happen to be a self-confessed comics lover, and the very first books/comics I ever read were my brother's Tinkle and Tintin magazines. Tinkle was one of my favourites till Uncle Pai was the editor (as most old Tinkle readers would agree).
Tintin has always been very close to my heart. Dad bought my brother the very first Tintin comic, "Prisoners of the Sun" for Rs. 25/-. It's both a fond and funny memory now, considering how expensive the books are these days. I was very little back then, and barely knew how to read, but they have always been my most loved books, ever. They were a major part of my childhood, given the fact that I was an introvert back then too.
I'm proud to say I have completed my Tintin comic collection singlehandedly a few years back. I'm thankful for little mercies that this Virus has granted us, that being some much needed free time to return to the things we once used to love. 💖

I got my phone low on storage message again. It's nothing new. I am working with this since last year. It's always 97-98% full and then I make around 500mb space and it goes on. Today, my mobile apps didn't open properly. So it was a serious matter. To empty some space in my mobile, I started checking the big files and found some comics pdf sitting in there, like a chubby person, occupying huge space on a train birth. In there, was Tintin and his adventures in Soviet! I didn't think twice about what time it was and started reading. I finished it in one sitting which is nothing much. Then I deleted it. I didn't like how everything Russian was shown in bad light but I understand it was such time and such inclination. As a comics, I loved it. It felt like being a kid, reading comics! Such a joy. Then I started The prince and the dressmaker. It's awesome and halfway still.
I'm happy I read it. The whole day otherwise was full of work. I got some awesome news which I'm asked to keep with me for a time being. That's how I can sum up the day. I can add some binge eating fruits and adding one extra meal to the day as I got one hour earlier. I wish I can do that everyday. If only...
