You spoke my heart much better than me Tanya.. The innocence, the sense of loveliness and the approach towards life – there was so much of hope at times and at times the reality which took an interesting end. Never for once have I found any unrealistic endings in his books – whether it was Swami and his Friends or the Financial Expert or the many stories of Malgudi.. Aaah that’s quite something Tanya, I would love to read it..

please do share the link :)

Indeed Moon Roy.. It indeed is a great loss to be losing such an artist.. RIP RKL..

Indeed Tanya. I remember the first book of RKN I read. My god I was so easily swept into the world of Malgudi, Margayya, Swami and so many other friends we could relate to. From then on, each word, each statement and of course the magic of Malgudi has made such an impact that it will last for a lifetime and perhaps generations to come. This is the simplest homage we could think of for this amazing man :)

Undoubtedly ! RK L and N are the best and would be forever admired for the innocence and sense of loveliness they spread with their writings and illustrations. They had been a great inspiration for me as a writer , and I started writing The School Bully of Chenkal – my own fictional town after Malgudi ;) I owe them so much…. :D

Indeed mate.. He will surely be missed. The TOI or any other newspaper will not seem the same at all without his cartoons in them now..

Thank you Sindhoo… It is a sad news and a sad day to hear.. he sure will be missed loads..

I think he did a few caricatures to Malgudi days during the later part of his life. The mystical world of Malgudi has RKN written all over it. I was looking through the new version of RKN’s Malgudi days. The new books have a map of Malgudi in them and this one was sketched by RK Laxman.. They were really very intriguing and coming from Mysore, I could see so many connections to the map and the current day city which played a huge role in inspiring the Malgudi days..

Words will never be enough to pay homage to such a man.. He will remain with his amazing works and the common man.

Thank you Shweta.. RK Laxman will remain in our memories through the common man and his views of life.. A legend indeed..
