Waiting for the Mahatma

This is one of those stories that started in the expected pace, grew rather boring slowly, seemed losing focus sometimes, but as it neared the finale the grand author again excelled himself. Never had been a fiction more wonderfully blended with the truth.
Sriram was a person yards away from politics yet a curious turn of events converted him to the path of freedom fighters. Was it the presence of Mahatma or was it due to his amorous feelings for Bharati that stimulated the inherent patriot in him might never be understood but the adventures of a confused man is sure to be enjoyed. Several times the protagonist has travelled outside Malgudi but that doesn't prevented another outstanding story to unfold. Mixing humour with sadness as the pages are turned the narrative revels in the spirit of optimism.
