I loved this collection of short stories - R K Narayan ranks there with chekov. The stories capture the essence of india and spirit of her people. Having studied and traveled there, I felt nostalgic reading about the lives of the households and street denizens of the fictional yet not so fictional down of malgudi. Narayan's rose also steers away from pain, suffering and verbosity that sometimes dominates many indian works. He paints it as simple and resilient.
