Lost and Found: The Boy Who Played Swami in ‘Malgudi Days’

It’s been 14 years since we lost the great Rasipuram Krishnaswami Iyer Narayanaswami, more popularly known as R K Narayan - arguably India’s most famous English-language writer. The man who brought to life a small little delightful town called Malgudi and its varied characters to life.

Of course, one of the most evocative characters from his Malgudi tales is the boy named Swami.

Also remember Malgudi Days on TV and the lilting title track that opened the show? 28 years later, we traced the bright-eyed boy Manjunath Nayaker who played Swami, the Malgudi boy is all grown up and now a PR consultant in Bangalore!
