Google Roles Out A Sweet Doodle, Twitteratti Abuzz With Wishes & Tributes On RK Laxman’s Birthday
While the world pays tributes to great personalities on their birth anniversaries, Google has its own special ways. So on his 94th birth anniversary our nation's most celebrated cartoonist R K Laxman was honoured by a sweet gesture from Google:
Born on October 24, 1921, in Mysuru, Karnataka, the 'Pied Piper of Delhi' was best known for immortalising 'The Common Man', a fictional comic character based on the life of a common Indian. His daily comic strip You Said It was published in The Times of India for more than five decades. His cartoons were also a part of the legendary book Malgudi Days.
