Mahendra Singh Dhoni has always been known for his calm, grounded presence on and off the cricket pitch. While his leadership on the field made fans swoon and opponents tremble, it's his humility away from the spotlight that truly defines him.

Dressed in a simple black t-shirt and trousers, he remained hidden among the crowd and smiled while watching as Surendra cut the cake. Dhoni wins the hearts of his fans When Surendra offered Dhoni a slice, Dhoni pointed toward Surendra's wife, telling him to feed her first. 'Pehle bhabhi ko khilaye, aapko yahi rehna hai, humlog to chale jayenge,' he joked, lightening the mood.

Cartoons and caricatures have played a significant part in human expression and entertainment for ages. Evolving from traditional art forms to the current digital creations with a modern twist, in India, they have a lion's share in shaping the cultural narrative of history. A reminder of this, the Indian Cartoon Gallery, Midford Garden Road is hosting an exhibition titled 'Through the Eyes of RK Laxman' paying tribute to the legendary Indian cartoonist and illustrator RK Laxman, known for his iconic character 'The Common Man'. The ongoing exhibition features 78 caricatures drawn by Laxman, which capture prominent personalities across fields like politics, culture and society. As VG Narendra, managing trustee of the Indian Institute of Cartoonists, notes, 'The speciality of Laxman is that he captures the essence of a personality as if they come alive and speak to the viewers about their era. Here, the viewers are taken 20-25 years back to tell the real story of their own.'
