The famous novelist R.K. Narayan was his brother. In his autobiography entitled The Tunnel of Time, Laxman wrote " I drew objects that caught my eye...the dry twigs, leaves and lizard-like creatures crawling about, the servant chopping firewood and of course number of crows in various postures on the rooftops of the buildings opposite..." Here are some tributes to RK Laxman.Tribute to the great #RKLaxman, by my former colleague Varghese Kallada pic.twitter.com/XgqkeqPtTU— Anna MM Vetticad (@annavetticad) January 26, 2015Goodbye R K Laxman.
