On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
Illustrated weekly of India in the time of Khushwant singh was a good attraction during my college days, i remember reading it for hours in our local library. My literary bend of mind was motivated by the magazine. I remember reading excerpts from the tortured and damned, a novel on genocide in Bangladesh. I still miss the editors page of kushvant singh
Illustrated Weekly was the first magazine I was exposed to as a young boy. Couldn’t read or understand it, but watched my father reading it with great interest. It was the only magazine that we got from our genteel newspaper wale uncle along with the TOI till I started reading India Today regularly in my teens. There were some other gems that were also delivered for me…a magazine called ‘Science Reporter’ that introduced me to DNA, and ‘Science Today’ which I think was a TOI group magazine. Unfortunately these two magazines disappeared just after a few years in the market.
My first memories of the Weekly go back to the time I was five years old, in Colaba. They had an entire page carrying photographs of recently married couples which, for some strange reason, everyone at home would go through. Khushwant Singh also ran a popular series, showing the various communities in India. One particular issue had women in two piece swim suits on the cover, the centre spread and the back cover, as an ad.
