At the risk of repeating myself, let me say this--China imports more oil from Russia than India. Turkey is the biggest importer of Russian oil in the western hemisphere. The European Union's trade with Russia stood at $77.9 billion in 2024, higher than India's $68.7 billion. But there is no point is talking about facts when the purpose here is to use Russia's war as an excuse to attack only India.
I'm so old I wrote that!
That's assuming it's the Windows version, which is the one I worked on. The Win9x game, art, and original code, were done by Maxis/Cinematronics. I ported it to Windows NT, converted the x86 asm to C, made it work on RISC, and so on.
Success has many fathers, and all credit should really go to the original designers... I'm just the fun uncle that brought it to the masses.
@saneblab@sadaashree It's great to get to know you here sir! I tried a lot to meet him once as he was a huge influence on my childhood, and Artists Sankar and Chitra are still a regular feature of my conversations with my father about our love for Chandamama.
You would have grown up reading Chandamama as a kid, and would have loved reading Vikram-Vetala stories, and that iconic image.
Today is Jayanti of the artist behind that image Karatholuvu Chandrasekaran Sivasankaran, or better known as Artist Shankar.
Hailing from a village near Erode, he was passionate about art since childhood.
He started his career with Kalaimagal in 1946, but it was with Chandamama/Ambulimama that he gained recognition.
He was the last of the original Chandamama design team, and had passed away in Sept 2020, but was posthumously given the Padma Shri in 2021.
#Naman to this genius who made our childhood that much better.

India will identify, track and punish every terrorist, their handlers and their backers.
We will pursue them to the ends of the earth.
India’s spirit will never be broken by terrorism.
Dokka Seethamma was regarded as a veritable Annapurna(Goddess of food) in the Godavari Delta region for feeding many a hungry person hit by floods and drought there.
An ordinary woman without much education, who fed every person seeking food, like a mother.

@naralokesh It's a long awaited notification,sir. We aspirants would like to see it go through hassle-free but with glaring issues in the roster now, we request your active intervention in setting right the roster and rendering us justice. Kindly do the needful, sir.
@sadaashree You have been doing yeoman service for Indian history like no other sir, truly inspiring. My question to you is, Sambhaji is no Shivaji Maharaj and what do you think on the take that Sambhaji is being over-glorified? Or would you say he is truly getting his due?

The Reddy family has been a bundle of emotions today. Witness the magical moment as they embrace Nitish after he wowed the world with his extraordinary maiden Test century at the MCG.
A day etched in memories forever.
