Preface Hello friends! I am Swami. I am 9 years old,

living in Malgudi with my parents and

grandmother. I love my grandmother a lot.I share

all my adventures with her. Malgudi is a small

town in Mysore. There are around 50 families

living in this town. We have a school here. Like

all boys of my age, I like to spend most of my

time with my friends. My friends are Rajam,

Samuel and Mani. We were all afraid to go to

school. But our class teacher, Mr.Scott, made us

comfortable. So, we have lots of fun here now.

Join me to have some good time at Malgudi. My

character was created by the author R.K.Narayan,

for his popular series –“Malgudi Days”.

MALGUDI DIARIES

The night before school is exciting and

fun, There are always so many things to be

done. Your clothes are ready, your

backpack too.

Your classroom is full of fun things you will

do. Lots of questions go through your mind, All types of thoughts of every kind.

But sometimes we all get the jitters down

deep That makes it hard to fall fast asleep. So I have made this magic confetti for you, Full

of promises for the whole year through. On

Sunday night when you lay down your head,

Just sprinkle some under your pillow in bed.

The confetti will help you sleep through the

night And wake up in the morning fresh and

bright. I’ll sprinkle the confetti under my

pillow, too Because I am so super excited to see

you.

mixed fruit jam. We learnt about the various preservation methods and were amazed

to know how food was preserved for a longer time, without a

refrigerator.

One Sunday, my (Swami) grandma was making mango pickle and

this gave me an idea to invite my friends home to see and learn

about how the pickle is preserved.

After having the lavish, healthy and fresh lunch we planned for swimming. But,

mother advised that soon after taking meals it’s not good to swim. So we took rest for

two hours playing some indoor games with my grandma and my mother.

In the evening, we went to swim in river Sarayu,

which flows through Malgudi.

III. Suggest Swami and his friends the safety rules to be followed while

swimming

Third period was an outdoor activity. The class went to the ground to play the cricket match

between MCC and ROM. I was the main bowler for MCC.
