Vijayendra relives the most passionate ‘write moments’ of his life.

After I actually learnt to write, I wrote my first real stories at the age of 8-9. This was very Champak-inspired fare and usually involved acts of bravery by kids my age. Later, Raj Comics happened and I graduated on to slightly more fantastical realms. I created characters called Raze, AllRounder, LaserBlast (don’t you dare ask for details) and many others which live on only in my notebooks from those days. I even got a classmate of mine to draw these characters out and stuck the pictures in with the stories. We had fond dreams of starting a comic book company. I write, he draws. Sigh!
