Hungama-Vol.1 No.10-March,1998

    Presenting another rarely know publication.This time its Hungama,which was published from Kodambakkam in Chennai.A monthly children s magazine,It seems to have tried to emulate the Tinkle model.It has its own versions of 'Tinkle Tricks and Treats','Tinkle tells you why' and 'Tinkle Super quiz'.There is also an uncle Hari just like uncle Pai,to whom readers write their views and opinions every month,which in turn were published under a section called 'Readers opinion' just like the 'Readers write' section in Tinkle.
    Another Unique feature about this magazine was that both its front and back covers had the same artwork,i.e.mirror images of each other.
