Swami speaks to her as if he is addressing a child and commands her into listening to his daily musings of his time in school especially with his important friend Rajam. Swami’s relationship with his grandmother is endearing and an absolute delight. We were probably like Swami when we were his age ( ten ), worrying about the company we kept in school and at times succumbing to the big bullies without wanting to be seen as a coward. Swami is best described as an average student who is infectiously innocent yet defiant with childlike worries gnawing him all the time.

Reading this story takes one back in time and more importantly an instantaneous bonding is developed with the boys. Graham Greene went on to describe this novel as a ” novel in ten thousand “Swami and Friends is a quintessential school boy story where Swami’s time with his friends Mani, Rajam,the Pea, Sankar is rapturously described by Narayan. Swami and Friends was published way back in 1935 and Narayan’s close friend Graham Greene helped him with this publication. If there remains a child in all of us, we are bound to enjoy this masterpiece.But, what I have remained more fascinated with is Narayan’s simple style of narration of Swami and Friends. There is a belief that Narayan coined Malgudi by combining the two popular suburbs of Bangalore, Maleswaram and Basvanguddi. Narayan, a master story-teller describes the fictitious town of Malgudi in a manner where one well and truly believes in its existence.
