MALGUDI DAYS
HEY,
I am in my hols and am back with my best hobby - reading books.I last read Malgudi Days (only now didn't have a chance before) by India's best known author R K Narayan.
This is the story about Swaminathan and his friends in a imaginary town Malgudi in Madras Presidency.I was thrilled in getting this book to read as it had evaded far long.I still remember we had an extract of the novel in our textbook and after reading it I felt inclined to read it.
I started with lot of hope and anxiety of how this book would be as it has it well known.
It was like a story straight from one's life, so original that we can always connect yourselves with Swami and recall your own childhood.
TAIL
Swami is an average boy who is attracted by a new boy to the class Rajam, son of Police Superintendent who first makes Mani (Swami's best friend) is enemy.As days pass by they become close friends and Swami is labelled by his classmates as a TAIL to Rajam.Swami wasn't known to be in good books of the teacher at Albert High School (forgot the name think its right) and runs away from it when headmaster attempts to beat him and he is made to join another school (BISHOP HIGH SCHOOL) which makes his life even more miserable.
TAIT
Mani,Rajam and Swami form a cricket team MCC (Malgudi Cricket Club) and the first ball bowled by Swami hits the stumps making Rajam bowled.Hence Swami was nicknamed TAIT after a famous cricketer.
Swami cannot attend practise sessions because of his school work and is forced to cut drill class to attend the cricket sessions.Here again he gets caught by the headmaster who attempts to beat him for which Swami runs away.
On how the match goes,what Swami does is the rest of the story.
A great one to read if you are still in HIGH SCHOOL.
