Page 4 MAMBALAM TIMES: Ashok Nagar - K.K.Nagar Edition December 16-22, 2012 NO HOLDS BARRED By M.A. SADANAND When the Tiger of Bombay slept his last instalment in his lair in the hospital, the self-confessed political cartoonist must have laughed silently at the antics of the poor fools and the peccadilloes of the fly-by-night loonies who had sprouted up in his cartoonisque empire. Though he knew that he was on the brink of a far, far better peace than he had ever known, which is the constitutional right of every human being of this beautiful globe, he felt let down by allegations of corruption made against some of the instant heroes of our money land like Robert Vadera, Gadkari and their cronies too numerous to be chronicled. This new menu gave good old Balasaheb Thackeray dyspepsia which led to a chain of reactions that was too much for his 86-year old body to fight, and he meekly proceeded to meet his maker. He should have stuck to cartooning in the absence of the great Shankar as did his tribe of laughter producers like R.K.Laxman, Keshav and Co who still appear like the sun to make our mornings lively and light and to make us brave enough to ignore the slings and arrows let fly by the fly-by-night politicians. I hope Bala s son would regale us with cartoons as did his father so that his father would be remembered as a laughter producer, while the lesser fry would be assigned the role of bile producers and laughing stock. We do need gallons of laughter since, as the Reader s Digest says, Laughter is the best medicine. Concerts by T.N.
