Description

 "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."   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malgudi_…

R. K. Narayan (10 October 1906 – 13 May 2001), full name Rasipuram Krishnaswami Iyer Narayanaswami, was an Indian writer, best known for his works set in the fictional South Indian town of Malgudi. He is one of three leading figures of early Indian literature in English (alongside Mulk Raj Anand and Raja Rao), and is credited with bringing the genre to the rest of the world.

Narayan broke through with the help of his mentor and friend, Graham Greene, who was instrumental in getting publishers for Narayan’s first four books, including the semi-autobiographical trilogy of Swami and Friends,The Bachelor of Arts and The English Teacher. Narayan’s works also include The Financial Expert, hailed as one of the most original works of 1951, and Sahitya Akademi Award winner The Guide, which was adapted for film and for Broadway.




About the Show : Malgudi - a fictious small town in south India is typical of any small town or village, habituated by timeless characters who could be living anywhere in the world. They are simple folk, dealing with their lives in an uniquely engaging, humorous and humane manner. Famous Indian novelist R.K Narayan, drew on his observance of human life to create the magic of Malgudi Days.

Episode Synopsis: When the talkative man won a massive road engine at the fair, friends congratulated him on his good fortune. Little did he know that this was just the beginning of 'engine trouble'! As we follow the talkative man through his travails to get rid of the engine, we encounter several familiar small - town characters - the arrogant municipal chairman, the temple priest, a yoga swami and event the temple elephant. When all fails, the talkative man prepares to leave the town, leaving the engine to its fate. Is that the only way out or will a miraculous solution present itself. Thoroughly enjoyable, 'Engine Trouble' keeps you chuckling
