Up with another R.K Narayan book which is a collection of short stories from different works of the author. As always, the descriptive language is to be focussed on. We see lovely characters floating before our eyes as if it were a movie, when one starts reading the bundle of funny as well as gripping pages of the book. The snake charmer boy, with his monkey companion; Babu, a brother trying to illuminate the house for his sister's Navaratri celebration vanishing the house in darkness; Raju a little boy determined to become a guide after a train station is built in Malgudi, near his home; Balu fidgeting with his father's accounts and puting it into the gutter; Raja, the tiger in a local school; and Chandran who falls in love with some girl on the banks of river Sarayu excite you, entertain you, engage you, and make you chuckle with the additional classic South Indian spice in them.It's a bit edited by the publisher but the 270 paged book with 12 chapters is worth reading.
