In this blog i am going to write about one of my all time fav topic "Malgudi Days"
From my childhood days i am so fascinated by this..
First I watched the serial which was telecasted in DD.. then i read the book "Swami and Friends"(serial is based on this book mainly).
Wav.....what an awesome serial it was... characters were very natural....
Hats off to the director Shankar Nag.....:-)
and the most admired character is of course Swaminathan... I think no one could have handled the role better than Master Manjunath... he was so perfect for the role....
I love the title song... its an awesome tune.... even now i listen to this atleast once in a day.....

I am reading that book again and again... Why i love this book so much is i can relate myself to the character swami... I have also gone through situations which he goes through... It reminds me my childhood days...

Oh my god .. i forgot to mention about the writer.. (of course people know. but still)
R.K.Narayan the great author.....i have read some other books by him also.. but i dint like them as much as "Swami and Friends"..

Will stop now......

Malgudi days...
gr8 work by shankara..hought it would be tough task for director to shoot the serial while keeping track with narration of the story .
after reading swami and friends i think there is no job for director other than saying action and cut. all the narrations are done beautifully by RKN.
hats off the RKN and shankar for picture perfect "malgudi days "
