Summary:
Malgudi Days as a series of stories is iconic in its story telling and it comes at a pace of life and so it becomes very easy for you to comprehend and assimilate the motifs into your thought processes. The setting of Malgudi depicts the different trials of the ordinary in an ordinary setting and it makes you relive the different patterns of the social templates that we are an integral part of. The first book is on Swami and his friends who are into loving cricket religiously and turning their life into a problem for their parents through constantly challenging their righteousness. The safest and the most comfortable company for Swami are his friends and they cannot see further than their wants and all they want to do is to change their life for worse by getting engaged in an adult struggle of independence and they do not want to study but play all day long.
When you see deep inside the stories underneath all the humor you will feel the presence of an intense and true sub-conscious element that seeks conscious freedom. The second story is on an individual Chandran who is buried deep inside his conflicts and he doesn't cover the sides and gets trapped in the various indecisive elements of the mind. The various elements that seem to disturb your life are the sub-conscious elements that seek unwinding and the book tells us how they can create problems and can make us orbit around them to waste our time and health. The third book is a grind between the philosophies of a father and son who are caught in the conflict of trying to convince each other about their own point of views and thus they crawl up the their insecurities as they are rendered unhappy through their failed processes. And it is how they are unable to bridge the gap of their differences.
Review:
R. K. Narayan is a man whose vision is to connect the known with the unknown and let the truth remain obvious. When you are sure about something you are most vulnerable to fall and then you discover that what you held onto as truth was always a lie and you are left wondering in the wild. And the dog that sniffs reality has lost your sight, but through visionary artists and human beings this light of reality becomes a practical experience for many of us ordinary citizens who are eventually on the same path as the visionaries but we see the difference between ourselves and they don't, so for all you care Malgudi Days is a book that is in your face with its content and yet brings you in tune with the different non-harmonic and sets you free from the rigid to make you a person with a free mind who wouldn't stop at the various check posts of doubt and miseries, not without your will.
