"Soviet Jet Leaves Heathrow without Passengers"


So this year, for Roy's birthday, other than my usual `book` present, I decided to make  him something interesting.

I found from October 1983 (which was when he was born)- front pages of newspapers, news articles, magazine covers (Time, Vogue, Rolling Stones, Playboy, Penthouse!), movie posters (English, Hindi, and even Telegu), cover pages of Marvel comics, comic strips (Garfield etc.), even stamps released by the Indian government- and put them all together.

It was great fun to put together (I mean what is there not to like about  news linked to the Cold War, old Canon Camera models, and dramatic Shatrugan Sinha movie posters), and I am glad that he quite liked it :)
