Wednesday, January 30, 2008
After a very coincidence of naming my blog as common man, till yesterday i never really know who the real common man is. R K Laxman THE REAL COMMON MAN.
R K Laxman, a man blessed with a unique sense of satire is the most loved cartoonist in India whose popularity has traveled to several other countries. His common man cartoons and his punchlines have covered every aspect of social and political life, for over five decades. Of his anecdotes, the most uncanny adventures of his common man generated great interest among gamblers who saw lucky numbers concealed in his cartoons.
Yesterday CNN IBN honored him by giving LIFE TIME achievement award. The Government of India awarded him the prestigious Padma Bhushan. The University of Marathawada conferred an honorary Doctor of Literature degree on him. He has won several awards in his lifetime, including Asia’s top journalism award and the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1984. R. K. Laxman lives in Mumbai.
I really feel honored blogging about such a great man.
