Malgudi Days

To the wizard who took us on a journey into
his imaginary homeland
with an intriguing storyline
traversed into a land unknown, 
with real people, real stories, 
made us believe that it existed somewhere
in the middle of nowhere. "As I sat in a room nibbling at my pen and wondering what to write, Malgudi with its little railway station swam into view, all ready-made, with a character called Swaminathan running down the platform," he writes. 
and that's where it all began. 
Everyone knows what it is. 
Everyone knows who lives there. 
Everyone knows everyone's story. 
but the real question is 
Where is Malgudi? ~ A tribute to the legend RK Narayan.
