The ability of R.K . Narayan to strike a chord with both children and adults fascinates us to core.Narayan had the amazing power of using pen to provide unique touch to daily chores of life . Perhaps, what makes Malagudi leave an indelible impression on the minds of readers is its power to evoke sense of belonging . We are able to identify with the characters as they have been borrowed from the life’s great drama .
Ironically,the reason why story tellers of present age aren’t able to do so lies in their non-association with simple happenings of life . Thanks for bringing out the inside-story of Narayan’s home .
