A long drive in Malgudi

Malgudi, an imaginary town created by writer R K Narayan. All the stories and novels revolve around the town, the kabir street, market place etc...which gives  reader a real sense of that place and it is very hard to believe its all pure imagination. My journey begin in malgudi around 8-9 years before but as not a voracious reader I take breaks while reading and some time it could be very  long to resume my reading. My love for reading R K narayan's books developed after watching the series on TV as a child. 

I still remember the scream Saamiiiii by a child which is part of the title song of that series and it is followed by la la la. I was a regular viewer of that series. 

Then when I grew up, I started to buy books of R K Narayan, like most of us ,  I started with Sway and friends. Mot of  the characters in that novel, reminded me as well as people around me. I was almost similar to swamy as a child, trying to invent new stories to avoid going to school, throwing my bag in the corner and creating a big fuss for even something which is of very least importance. 

It gave me great pleasure in the reading the book. Then I remember reading tiger of malgudi, painter of signs , Malgudi days adventures , stories from malgudi.. I feel dumbstruck with the way the writer has handled the characters and describing each character in a most comprehensive way for the readers. 

The last I was reading 'the Malgudi adventures', which is a collections of best episodes from the novels written by RK Narayan. 

The writer proves his genius in each of his writing. My drive in Malhudi is always cherish able.  

Its more than two years since I published my last post. The main reason for such a long gap is my son, who is now two years and two months. In my last post I talked about the fear I was undergoing due the ongoing crimes on children during that time as my son was a fetus but still the  fear is well rooted as the crime against children are still growing.
Ok now, I am thinking what  and how to start?, ok let me start with my son's musings. My thoughts are competing with itself on what to write about?. Ok like usual mothers let me also start "oh I cant believe how two years have passed after my son's  birth (in fact I seriously cant belive this)". After working till my delivery and now I am travelling in a completely different phase of my life, looking after my toddler, cooking etc.. its also interesting but I feel my social life has almost come to a halt and I need some time for my own self at least to keep my brain occupied with something where I can enjoy doing it.
I dusted my cobwebbed contacts , it was very pleasant to talk those with whom I almost lost in touch. Thanks to the growing social networking site, through it I was able to meet so many of old contacts and I also put an effort in picking up my phone and talking to them. It s always good to  maintain a network of friends because you may never know who might be useful to you and when?.

Its just an re entry to blog after a long (not very long) time, my other musings and experiences will continue.
