Story:

Well the past week has been a mixed experience for me as far as


reading books goes.On one hand I read Shobha De's ''Second


Thoughts'' and on the other ''Swami and Friends'' by R.K. Narayan.


There is no doubt who the winner was. Swami and Friends by some


miles.


The genius of R.K. Narayan comes out in this book.The characters,


the place, the Albert Mission School have all become history, and


to think of that all the characters are imaginary but look almost


real is definitely the creative genius that probably Narayan was


bestowed at birth.


How can one forget Swami's innocence, the headmasters cruelty and


his own fathers strictness. When I was young I had believed that


Malgudi was some place in Tamil Nadu only to realize my mistake,that is the kind of effect that R.K.Narayan was able to create.


I hope that all MS members read this classic and also recommend it to family and friends. Also if there are children in the age bracket 10-15,they should also be encouraged to read this book.No point in writing reviews of this book.....it is just too good.
