Raghava KK: Five lives of an artist

http://www.ted.com With endearing honesty and vulnerability, Raghava KK tells the colorful tale of how art has taken his life to new places, and how life experiences in turn have driven his multiple reincarnations as an artist — from cartoonist to painter, media darling to social outcast, and son to father.

    The western world seems to be entirely consumed by the fear of pedophilia. Not every other person would choose that dreaded path. Raghava seems an eccentric, yet a loving and full of life artist. I think he meant ‘touch’ as in feel the free spirits of children.

    comments on you tube tell a lot about the mental nature of a person.
