R.K. Narayan was born in a Hindu Brahmin family in Madras in the year 1906. He loved reading from an early age. He was particularly interested in English literature.

A T.V. series by the name Malgudi Days was produced based on R.K. Narayan’s stories. It received a lot of appreciation from the audience.
R.K. Narayan: My All – Time Favourite Author
R.K. Narayan’s stories were mostly set in a fictional town named, Malgudi. All his stories and novels talk about routine events. The characters are mostly ordinary village people. His stories were not only well received in India but appreciated worldwide.
I especially loved reading his novel, ‘Swami and Friends’. I loved all the characters and the turn of events in this novel. The Dark Room, The Vendor of Sweets, Malgudi Days, The English Teacher, Mr. Sampath, A Horse, and Two Goats, The World of Nagaraj, Grandmother’s Tale, Under the Banyan Tree and other stories and Waiting for the Mahatma are some of the other works by Narayan that I enjoyed reading. They are all rooted in our culture and reflect the true essence of India.

He received the Sahitya Akademi Award in the year 1958, the Padma Bhushan Award in 1964 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2000. Being one of the first Indian writers who wrote in English, Narayan acquainted the rest of the world with the simplicity of the Indian culture.
