Just finished reading Malgudi Days by R K Narayan.....
As Expected... too good, too simple, just like that old teleserial, directed by Shankar Nag.
Malgudi is an imaginary world created by R K Narayan. But you can find the inhabitants of Malgudi in any part of the world.... The people, their characters are so like our own world, in which we live in, that we feel one with them. The stories are very simple, some slightly tragic, but never exaggerated mostly humorous but never slapstick.... Narayan never tries to emotionally blackmail the readers by too colorful emotions. He shows the protagonists as they are, gives space for us to be one with them and identify them. He never takes parts or justifies, he just chronicles the life as a historian- yes that is what he is, Historian of Malgudi.....
