This book by Rahul P Bhandare captures something very timeless. Its a book that tells us a simple story about quintessential emotions and pristine instincts. From the outside, it might just seem as an ordinary picture book which tells a story but in reality, it “conveys” several. Featuring a wristwatch as its main protagonist, the book conveys us the story of the wristwatch as the main plot and the story of every single individual as the side plot, eventually, converging into the main plot of the story.
The moral of the story is simple, with “time” everything will be alright, but the way the stories have been conveyed in this book with just a set of drawings, is amusing. If you look deeply, every single detail will tell you a story and that’s the beauty of it.

The story is all about time which is depicted by the story of a wrist watch itself. This book will give you a different interpretation each time you read it. I’ve read it many times and everytime, it have different message to tell .
Mainly, It tells that time waits for none and you have to keep going no matter what. It reminds us change is constant. And also, when something bad happens, You just have to let things be and not sulk, and with constant hope and endurance may be some day you might become something more, something great.
This short comic gives you a positive vibe . I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. It’s really incredible how author had conveyed such profound message in very simple illustrations. It is a hopeful and a motivational story.

I picked up Tick Tock by Rahul Bhandare yesterday and consumed it in a single sitting. I was lucky enough to be able to interview the author a couple of months ago, and his take on creating stories and comics got me excited to pick this one up!
Tick Tock is a short and sweet graphic book that tells the story of a wrist watch as it journeys through various stages of life before finally reaching its destination. The author was able to convey this beautiful story almost entirely through illustrations and very limited words.
The illustrations are detailed yet simple to understand, and don’t need very many words to carry you through the story. I really admired the way the author was able to take a humble wrist watch and convey a meaningful message of how everything that happens in life plays a part in taking us closer to the purpose that we were meant to fulfill. Time will take us on an adventure and a half before leaving us at our destinations!
All in all, Tick Tock was an interesting, unique and a quick read for me and one that I’d totally recommend checking out!

Tick tock is a very short comic book. It consists of only 27 pages. The story is about a clock, whose journey begins from the manufacturing company. The story ends in a very hopeful note and a positive message in the end.
๐ฐThere are no dialogues in this book, but the cartoons express it very well. Only thing is that, I wanted some more stories in the book. Recommended to comic lovers.

The watch meets a lot of people, and goes through a lot of suffering. It gets transferred from one hand to another, from gift shop to pawn shop. It gets dirty and wet. It is broken into pieces and transferred to the dustbin. But in the end, it becomes a part of something bigger and better.
There are no dialogues in this book, but the cartoons express it very well. Only thing is that, I wanted some more stories in the book. Recommended to comic lovers.

This was a very thought-provoking and inspiring read. It was only 29 pages long so it was a quick read. Also what makes it even more fun and interesting is that it’s fully illustrated!How cool is that? Though the concept is quit simple the author has potrayed it in such a brilliant way!
