From here and here and here.

Has anybody else used those educational paper ‘charts’?!?! (I always thought of charts as something involving thick paper ) the ones made of flimsy paper and we’d cut out relevant pictures and paste in our notebooks as kids…pretty neat they were….
They usually were of national leaders or national monuments or national scientists, sometimes domestic animals , national flower(s), types of houses ..and I’m racking my brain to think of the various pictures I had pasted on school books over the years.. wonder if they still make them...
*********************************
Let’s stick with nostalgia for a bit …here are some print ads I remember from my Amar Chitra Katha’s , Tinkles, Chandamama’s, Champaks , the Indian Disney comics, and a couple of Mandrake comics I own ….
The above are from the following AWESOME sites this one (Great online desi vintage ad archive) and this one ( Really neat site for people who grew up in 1980’s India ;but some of the content isn’t exactly kid friendly!!!)

I have seen some of these charts and old Indian mags in antique shops in Calif. My biggest shock was when I walked into a antique shop in Pasadena and found a bound collection of Chandamama and Chacha Choudary!!! Good post, makes me more home sick.
@ Vivek - you're kidding me !! Gosh should visit those California antique shops !! :)
nostalgic indeed....the monkey and two cats story is still fresh in my mind...
