I'm New around here so let me introduce myself: I'm Bhavan's DIMDIMA, the new magazine for children.
I have something for everyone—for the eight-year-olds, the sixteen-year- olds and for all the ages in between! I even have a page for teachers and a page for parents.
I carry jokes, stories, comics, science features, biographies, information on sports, contests… What? Did somebody say something?
Oh! That was my editor. He says the content page is right next door so there's no need for me to go on and on. These editors never give me a chance to talk! They want everything to be told in one sentence or less. It's so maddening!!
As this is our first meeting you may find me somewhat restrained. You might even find me wanting in some department.
You may want more of one thing and less of another, or you might want something entirely new. You might find me too serious, or too frivolous, or God forbid! Even boring!
Well, I'm open to suggestions.
I want to be your friend and friends have to give and take. Take as much as you want from me but give me your feedback so that I can improve myself.
You might be wondering why I'm called DIMDIMA. Well, I'm wondering too!
They could have found a better name for me. But I'm told it has a great tradition dating back to the times when victory in battle was heralded by the beat of drums.
DIMDIMA is the Sanskrit word for 'drumbeat'.
