R K Laxman

WHATEVER YOUR STRENGTH POLISH IT AND TAKE IT TO  NEW ..."MUKAAM."

AS .Mr R K LAXMAN...

NEW DELHI: RK Laxman was born in Mysore. His father was a headmaster and Laxman was the youngest of six sons. His older brother is the famous novelist R K Narayan.

Laxman was engrossed by the illustrations in magazines such as The Strand Magazine, Punch, Bystander, Wide World and Tit-Bits, even before he could read. Soon he was drawing on his own, on the floors, walls and doors of his house and doodling caricatures of his teachers at school. Praised by a teacher for his drawing of a peepal leaf, he began to think of himself as an artist in the making.
