I've spent the past hour reading your posts, and when I finished reading this one, I felt like 'joining-in'.<br /><br />But now that I have started, I don't know what to put in here (which is typical of me!).<br /><br />Would like to just tell that it's been at least 8 years since I saw any of the crap that they dish-out on TV these days.<br /><br />Having said that, let me look for my collection of <b>"Malgudi Days"</b>. Would love to go back in time, for a change.<br /><br />Cheers! :)Krishnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18031003075740106640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-64797119723002334492009-01-09T10:45:00.000+01:002009-01-09T10:45:00.000+01:00@PrashantWell said, brother!

Malgudi Days is a classic that isn't bound by time. Its lessons are timeless as are the characters who made it great. Its indeed a pain to watch today's mind numbing soap operas that cater only hatred, deciet and everything else that is making our society so shallow and brain dead. Hope that better days come in. :)<BR/><BR/>All the best!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>SKShaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560466960703260887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-78144479628466106842009-01-09T10:43:00.000+01:002009-01-09T10:43:00.000+01:00@AnonThank you friend.

Its a shame that kids these days might never know what it means to be simple yet intelligent. Intelligence these days is becoming more synonymous to smart-Alec tongue-in-cheek attitudes. A sad proposition.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your words.<BR/><BR/>SKShaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560466960703260887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-10932846230945334372009-01-09T10:41:00.000+01:002009-01-09T10:41:00.000+01:00@AkshayIndeed!

Can't tell you how desperately I am searching internet for the right notes of this tune, and that's how I hit on your blog. <BR/><BR/>Those good old Malgudi Days occupy a special corner in our hearts, and will always. Even decades after, it hardly takes any effort to correctly hum "Taa na na..." And, the serial itself was something which this generation will miss. I wonder if they ever get to watch such classics where simple stories were told emphatically and yet left permanent marks of ethical lessons in our hearts.<BR/><BR/>How I wish today's nonsensical TV serial producers / directors could get inspired from such classics than making us watch the unwatchables.<BR/><BR/>"Koi Lauta De Mere Bitey Hue Din..."<BR/><BR/>Prashant, Delhipdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11070425239893802103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-84303287800637681092008-12-04T02:38:00.000+01:002008-12-04T02:38:00.000+01:00Dear Shashi,Really after going thru ur words, it t...Dear Shashi,<BR/><BR/>Really after going thru ur words, it took back me to the malgudi days and back to my childhood. How nice those days were, we enjoyed this classic serial. How simple and honest were those actors. You could feel each and every word they uttered. There was no overacting, they were so simple and wonderful. The direction was so good, really Mr Nag has animated whole R K's dream into reality. And Swamy's acting is so nice so cute really it touches the heart. This is very rare to see nowdays. Thanks for posting ur valuable words. Let us any other RK, Nag and swamy will come in the future to extend the old Malgudi days to the new Malgudi days.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for ur article.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-1159796329902692222006-10-02T15:38:00.000+02:002006-10-02T15:38:00.000+02:00True Sashi!

Simplicity has been simply banished from the life.. and the "ta na na ta na nana naa.." is probably a part of history now!Akshayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269189624398951693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-1151436073754531902006-06-27T21:21:00.000+02:002006-06-27T21:21:00.000+02:00Shashi,That was a good read.

And my email alerted me of an email for a person I had not known - Manjunath Nayekar. I did not bother to open it then. <BR/><BR/>When I read the email, it was about the BMIC background for publication in the website. I made some research on the Internet about the BMIC project when I found that Manjunath Nayaker was none other than our Master Manjunath (Swami) of Malgudi Days, who is the now the Senior Manager (PR & Liason) of NICE. This was one character I loved in the serial and was overjoyed when the email was from Manju, that too when I was thinking of the serial the day before. can we call this coincidence of Psychic... i dont know. But thank you for taking to those good old days. cheers.Ravihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286038260947112273noreply@blogger.com
