Recently I read this social novel by RK Narayan published in 1937. Story is about the life of chandran: his college life, friends, first love, fate and family. More interesting for me was the detailing of the college life and it's clubs which seemed much different from today's happenings. Family customs, marriage proposal, horoscope , superstitions; all these can still be seen today & does not seem to have changed a lot even after ~100 years. The book gives a nice picture of people and life during those days. It was quite a relaxing and good read. The books that one can enjoy reading gets greatly restricted after reading SLB's book, but this book could keep me interested until I finished it. Guess many of you would have read it, for others "enjoy reading".
