Then she passed away and a new editor came and changed it into a crappy teen mag with models and fashion and all that. She got rid of Moochie and Gardhab and funny world and things to do and all the good things we grew up loving. I hate her for doing this great disservice to Indian publishing and hope she regrets it herself. Target remains part of my growing up and I have saved almost all copies of it for my children for them to enjoy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346546.post-15527355163432410392009-04-12T05:44:00.000-07:002009-04-12T05:44:00.000-07:00I just loved TARGET!
