Spiders are Gross. Snakes rock.
While browsing through some other fellow-blogger's rantings, some childhood memories were revived.
Naagraj/ Super Commando Dhruv/ Chacha Chaoudhary - they were our super-duper heroes then! Still are...as some would argue.
Videsi formulas like Spiderman, Superman et al might have their own charm...but try beating the 'computer se bhi tez dimaag' of our home-grown Chacha, or the 'ichcha shakti' of Dhruv, or the 'zahreeli phunfkaar' of Naagraj...and you'll fail miserably.
The web spun out of Spidey's wrists, scaring our noble arachnophobic souls to death, doesn't stand a chance against the snakes that fly off Naagu's fingers. Catering to the collective reptilian fantasies of kiddo Indians (your truly included), Naagraj rocked.
Sad that the comics fanatic in me died a slow death over the last few years.
Was just sharing my woes with a colleague who himself was brought up on a regular dose of Bhokal, Phantom and Naagraj. This dude actually had plans to have his name changed, officially, to Dhruv! No kidding.
With titles like 'Bauna Waaman', 'Ninja ka Kehar', 'Udan-tashtari Ke Bandhak' and more recently, 'Nahin Bachega Naagraj' and 'Dhruv Hatyara Hai'... how can anyone possible resist? I couldn't for sure.
As for my name-changing and other miscellaneous ambitions, I would choose 'Saabu' any day. I mean, the mere prospect of having a volcano erupt somewhere everytime I get angry is so goddamn empowering! Those people in Japan will be at my feet in no time! Man!!!
Trivia 1- Do you know our Naagraj is 'Ageless', weighs '89 Kgs' and apart from having an email id, his alter-ego is a Public Relations Officer in a company called Bharti Communications! For more details, click here. No...trust me. It's fun.
Trivia 2 - Bhokal happens to be 'an ANGLE amongst the mortals'
Departing PJ - What did Moizukoshu Suzuki tell her son who just won't stop crying at night?
- Bete, so ja...warna Saabu ko gussa aa jayega!
Sayonara!
