Summary: The sharp eye of Neelakantan Bhattathiripad noted the young Ravi Varma tracing lines on the sand. His son was a strange child in his opinion but he refrained from voicing it. "What would this son of his become, the scion of this strange race," he wondered? "Always, always drawing and sketching things - was there a future in this?" His wife, Umamba Bayi indulged him too much. All this fanciful sketching, it was a dreamer's life, thought Neelakantan. From his father, Ravi Varma learned to discipline his thoughts, from his mother the pictorial rhythms of poetry and music, and from his uncle, Raja Raja Varma, the way to express it all in concrete visual form, as he was doing on the sand.
