Bhimsen by Prem Panicker

From Blogbharathi:

next within the line of succession to his elder brother Yudhisthira (and commonly within the shadow of his younger brother Arjuna when it comes to charisma and talent in warfare), Bhima comes across as a gluttonous, barely oafish he-guy figure – or a comic foil – in lots of mainstream renderings of the first-rate epic. but MT Vasudevan Nair (popularly referred to as “MT”) grew to become him into a 3-dimensional parent, more sensitive and thoughtful than he's normally given credit score for. “He took acquainted building blocks and created a completely new, quite compelling construct from them,” says Prem Panicker, senior journalist, Rediff.com co-founder and an extended-time admirer of MT’s paintings.
