Dr. Mohan was fond of comic books during his childhood. He grew up reading the comics of Thomas Hardy and the famous Gene Autry, Roy Rogers & Davy Crocket.

He had no other reason to collect money but to spend on his comics. He would save every single paisa he could manage to collect from the house. When he was sure he had enough he would run down to the Higgin Botham store situated at Trivandrum to take his favorites back home. One of his favorites at that time was ‘Batman & Robin’.

When he grew a little older, he went for bigger books – Thomas Hardy, William Shakespeare & those of Charles Dickens. For light reading, he chose the books of Mickey Plane, Arthur Hailey, Sydney Sheldon, Agatha Christy, Gibriel Garshia Marquez.
