Thank you Mario Miranda!



CHAPTER 1
This is Nitin.
He is six.
He lives in Nashik.
This is Nitin's garden.

… and you met Mario for the first time in that garden. The lovely illustrations in your 1st Standard Balbharati English book were created by MARIO MIRANDA… May his soul rest in peace!

Share this post with your classmates if you feel that he has enriched your childhood by making studies enjoyable…

Almost 50 years down the line, I remember only Mr. Miranda's drawings from my Balbharati textbooks. Nothing else comes to mind, really.

Yes, we are talking about early 1980s . I too remember the illustrations in the balbharti English textbooks. I wish someone had the textbooks as vintage collectibles. If anyone has the images please post. Thank you . Alpesh Doshi
