The stories in Malgudi Days set against the backdrop of nineteenth century India. They depict the middle-class society in a comic ironic mode. The master story-teller creates a mythical city in South India so that he has the liberty to meddle with its geography. The inhabitants of Malgudi are talkative, easy-going, intellectual and have a strong sense of identity. Narayan portrays an astrologer, a postman, a snake-charmer, a vendor of spices and chapattis- all kinds of people drawn in full colours and domestic details of a real Indian society. The themes of Narayan’s stories are about human beings. They are all dependently inter-related and inter-connected.
