Reading books is often seen as a boring task by many people and I was one those many. But that perception changed, when I was greeted by a fact that , books are simplest means of expressing one's imagination when compared to other mediums like drama, cinema etc. You require an imagination, few papers, pens and start your own book. Great! isn't it! Wonderful according to me.
I read 'Wings of fire' by Shri. APJ Abdul Kalam which was a Autobiography. A search for book with imagination as basis and yet be very simple to understand ended up me reading a book called 'Swami and friends' written by Shri. R.K. Narayanan.
Book is a collection of 19 chapters describing life of a six to seven year old kid named Swami born and being brought up at Malgudi, a fictitious Village and a product of Shri R.K. Narayan's imagination. And the story dates back to period of 1940's during which India was still under the control of Britishers. The book gives a wholesome picture of a kid, his friends, his family and his studies. You will end up reading book as easily as possible.You can find Swami meeting his new friend Rajam, teaching Grandma about cricket, breaking his school glass panes, fearing his father, fighting with his friends, running away from his home after behaving rudely with his school headmaster etc. These are few highlights about a boy who has does everything which he can do in his age.Narration is sweet and engaging. You can read the book from link below.
