THE WORLD OF NAGARAJ BY R K NARAYAN REVIEW BY BHANU ULLAS

  Nagaraj's world is quiet and comfortable.Living in his family's spacious house with only his wife Sita for company,he fills his day writing letters,drinking coffee,doing some leisurely book-keeping for his friend Coomar's Boeing Sari Company,and sitting on his veranda  watching the world and planning the book he intends to  write about the life of the great sage Narada.

                                                           But everything is disturbed when Tim the son of his ambitious landowing brother Gopu decides to leave home and come to live with Nagaraj.Forced to take the responsibility of the boy,puzzled by his secret  late-night activities and by the strong smell of spirits which lingers behind him,Nagaraj find his days suddenly filled with unwelcome complication and turbulence,which threaten to alter forever the contented tranquility of his world.



                                                               The World Of Nagaraj is beautifully written,funny and haunting,evoking in marvelously rich in detail the atmosphere of a small town in southern India creating a magical world into which the reader is instantly drawn.


                                                               THE WORLD OF NAGARAJ IS A WORLD IN A GRAIN OF SAND................
