My father, an Army Officer, was in-charge of the base\u2019s library. There I lay my hands in the first Tintin. India of 1979 was a very different place and a kid like me could never afford to buy a Tintin. Later in life I joined the submarine arm of the Indian Navy, and my gift to myself on getting my harbour watch keeping ticket was\u2026you guessed it right, the entire set of Tintin books. It costed me a month\u2019s salary though, but that is what I wanted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ox-55412d6d8e-ox-43975427b5-msonormal\">My love affair with cars, trains and other means of transport also goes back to age 5 or less. So the inspiration behind the blog was to get both the things together.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"ox-55412d6d8e-ox-43975427b5-msonormal\">Ik was benieuwd of de Kuifje-fans in India zich ook verenigd hebben.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"ox-55412d6d8e-ox-43975427b5-msonormal\">No, I am not aware of any very active Tintin club in India. And even if there is one, it would be a pretty local affair. Notwithstanding, we have a huge population (LOL) and we can always accommodate more.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"ox-55412d6d8e-ox-43975427b5-msonormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #313131;\">Op mijn vraag of hij ook een verzamelaar is, bijvoorbeeld van de beeldjes, was zijn antwoord<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"ox-55412d6d8e-ox-43975427b5-msonormal\">No, I do not own any figurines, I visited a Tintin exclusive shop on my recent visit to Brussels, but they were too expensive for me.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"ox-55412d6d8e-ox-43975427b5-msonormal\">Ook vroeg ik mij af waarom hij, met zijn maritieme achtergrond, nog geen blogs over de schepen in Kuifje&#8217;s avonturen had geschreven. Dit was zijn reactie:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"ox-55412d6d8e-ox-43975427b5-msonormal\">Yes, I have been thinking on writing about the aircraft and ships in Tintin.
