Malgudi days is jus great,.i love the character Swami,.
Malgudi days series is very well directed.
love swaamy and his friends...u just dont get that kinda simple humour and straight feelings nemore..
Completely agree with most of what you said. Ofcourse, not that you care if one agrees or not, but one's style should not influence your style.
Most of Narayan's stories are inspired by his own life. You might want to read his autobiography and you could easily make the connections, in case you have not already.
Narayan's life is tragic. So are his novels. He tries to portray tragedy with humor and it is not very easy.
Sometimes I think why Narayan did not get Nobel Prize, but then that reminds of this Calvin and Hobbes comic strip about Nobel Prizes.
Oh! sorry for getting carried away a little bit. Nice blog you have!
