 The English Teacher says abt the life of a young widower who works as a Professor in a college,managing his daughter.. It is difficult to understand at first but it makes you involved..
Superb story by R.K.Narayan.. You will find yourself lost in the forests with Swami.. Will feel bad when Rajam leaves Malgudi...

 i wonder if R.K. has lived multiple lives somehow. How does he give out five different stories,each from a different person, yet as clear as how i would recall my own life, with my little thoughts and little happenings,those that seem unnoticed later but really mean something to us at that time?? really great work.

and it reminded me how much i miss my lil sister's baby talk.
i hope i'l never forget "the english teacher".

But i have this lil problem with him starting cheer fully, then winding in to misery slowly,and giving the climax suddenly(whether its happy or sad). but guess thats what makes it unique.

 R.K's books takes you to your own soul -- deep down where your fears,likes and dislikes are expressed with simplicity and humility.
