Malgudi days is a collection of 32 short funny and witty stories which is written by R K NarayananThe stories happen in Malgudi, an imaginary town located somewhere on the banks of Sarayu (a river in South India).. You can trace it to any village in south India. The stories carry the scent and sounds of these villages and you instantly blend into the situations in the stories .Rather than revolving around a particular plot these stories wander off dreamily. Each of the stories describe the relationship between members in a family. All the stories will seem faintly similar but they are vastly different from each other. The stories deal with the most ordinary men and women and that makes these stories extraordinary. Each story deals with simple people and simple issues they are faced with in real life. The stories instantly establish a connection between the reader and the characters. Some of the stories are humorous while other will shake your soul so wildly that you might cry.Indian villages which are often depicted as poverty-ridden, infested with epidemics, occupied by good for nothing illiterate fellows have another side to them. Each story is so full of humanity and will part of you. And the endings of each stories. They are also special. The author will never reveal what happened at the end and will leave it to your imagination

The book was republished outside India in 1982 by Penguin Classics.[1] The book includes 32 stories, all set in the fictional town of Malgudi,[2] located in South India. Each of the stories portrays a facet of life in Malgudi.[3] The New York Times described the virtue of the book as "everyone in the book seems to have a capacity for responding to the quality of his particular hour. It's an art we need to study and revive."[4]
In 1986, a few of the stories in the book were included in the Malgudi Days television series and directed by actor and director, Shankar Nag.
In 2004, the project was revived with film-maker Kavitha Lankesh replacing the late Shankar Nag as director. The new series was telecast from April 26, 2006 on Doordarshan.[5]
In 2014, Google commemorated Narayan's 108th birthday by featuring a Google Doodle showing him behind a copy of Malgudi Days.[6]
