Hyderabad enjoys cartoon exhibition

As part of the ‘Civil Services Week’, a cartoon exhibition was organised at Goethe-Zentrum in Journalist Colony on Thursday in which pieces made by Special Chief Secretary, BP Acharya were showcased.

The event titled ‘Obtuse Angle’ was inaugurated by Redt. Chief Secretaries, Dr Daphne Rebello and Narender Luthar and was attended by civil servants and other dignitaries.

In his address, Acharya, said, “We often tend to look at things from an acute angle that is with a critical look. But in every event there is perhaps an “obtuse angle” that a cartoonist tries to look for… a funny and humorous side, if you will.” “That is what inspired me since childhood, as I tried to emulate the master strokes of RK Laxman, Kutty, Mario and others.

Having joined the civil service, there were obvious restrictions that made me look at civil service and laugh at oneself, as it were and I tried to capture the funny side of mundane events and dealings of a civil servant with people, colleagues and politicians, over the last three decades,” he said.
