The charm and beauty and simplicity of a small town of Malgudi. Almost every middle class indian kid born and brought up in the 80s sure knows many stories ( and the "tune" thanks to an amazingly well done TV adaptation )

My first Narayan was 'The English Teacher'. It was a mere coincidence that my tuition kid had to do this book for his IB Language Arts Program later on. Hence, we (meaning I) had to do a detailed analysis of the book.

Reading these stories is a source of comfort, and brings back a yearning for simpler times. Set in India.
