The Tunnel of Time
I have picked up R. K. Laxman's autobiography "The Tunnel of Time".... Vera got the book from her library long ago.... it was great to learn that Laxman has been with TOI as staff cartoonist for over 50 years. The narrative is simple, flow is goood....
"To be young is very heaven, my boy, very heaven...."

Completed Laxman's The Tunnel of Time.... didnt take long to complete it considering the time that i spent in finishing Dr Zhivago.... By the way, found this on Wiki about Gattu, the lad with a paintbrush in his hand.... this is what Laxman has to say about him,
"I gave him a shock of black hair eternally dangling over his right eye. I dressed him up in shirtsleeves and half pants with braces. I made him clutch at a rather over-worked bristling paintbrush in one hand and a dripping can of paint in the other. His unruly locks of hair, his posture, the wide grin on his face were all suggestive of a fellow capable of unpredictable mischief and, at the same time, exuding a mood of cheerful, carefree abandon."
Who can forget that famous line - Any surface that needs painting needs Asian Paints.
