Question

Poems of R.K Narayan.
[short]

Answer 1

Some people say, “It has changed.”

No! The way ‘some people’ see it has changed

but that’s people for you, not Malgudi!

Malgudi does not change,

it does not expand any more

or contract.

Answer 2

Answer: The poem Malgudi Days

Explanation:

I have come to Malgudi –

at last!

All is flux

but Malgudi does not fluctuate.

It is what and where

it always has been,

resting like a cloud

somewhere in South India.

It flows as it has always flowed –

the river Sarayu –

and has not changed course.

Birnam Wood may move

but Mempi Forest – guess what –

it hasn’t moved an inch,

not to Chennai or Mumbai.
