Life is a queer mixture of joys and sorrows alike. Rather than being a static entity, life is a dynamic organization that offers its own pleasures and pains as its rewards to the human beings. The discourses in the West, in their attempt to comprehend life offer as many ‘-isms’ and ‘-tions’ as nihilism, existentialism, pessimism, optimism and many others that may ultimately drive one crazy in the pursuit of the essence of life. The Eastern concept however offers a fresh perspective where it perceives life not as the cruel and vindictive entity forced upon a human rather it is viewed as one that ought to be cherished by valuing and respecting the humble humanity, devoid of all the affectations and pretentions. R. K. Narayan is one such author among the Indian Writers in English who has reverence for life in its true sense as it is realized by the humble folk of a small town of Malgudi.
