Potholes may inspire poetry and urban mismanagement be set to music. There’s humour in desperate house hunting in Mumbai.  Creative artistes are coming together in an evening of poetry, humour and music inspired by the legendary, late RK Laxman and his creation: ‘The Common Man’. The event is headlined: ‘Ek Shaam Aam Aadmi Ke Naam’ and will be held on Saturday, May 9, at the Tata Theatre, National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA).

Said creative producer Usha Laxman, “The Common Man brought a laugh to lips and grins to the grim. Biting satire, trenchant observation and witty comment that are the hallmarks of the Common Man.”
