Through A Coloured Glass (R.K. Laxman's Autobiography)
Explanation:
This is the second part of the autobiography of Rasipuram Krishnaswamy Laxman, the most famous Indian cartoonist. He created the famous cartoon, The Common Man, with his hair and glasses askew, in his crumpled dhoti and checked shirt. I his autobiography, he admits to never keeping a diary or a calendar or a watch. He first started his career by illustrating his brother's work, R.K. Narayan. Laxman insists that a cartoonist needs a sense of humour, the talent to draw, and a sound education. Having one of these traits without the others, or any two without the third will not help. He strongly believes that cartooning is inborn, it cannot be taught.
