I read this somewhere actually forgot where but it was a good one just think about it...
A couple of small kids were playing next to a small pond in the country side.
Suddenly , the ball they were playing with fell into the pond, and the boy who went to retrive it fell into the pond.
They was a lot of hue and cry and everyone was trying to save the boy.
Later, one man came out of the blue and saved the boy's life.
The boy had lost all consciousness by then. After he got back his conscience he went in search of the man who save his life. He wanted to thank the man and said , "I am indebted to you for the rest of my life. Thank you soo much".
The man replied " Its ok boy! make sure was life was worth saving."

Hi! Jus came across ur Orkut profile in ChennaiWriters and am disappointed (and angry) that you have said "some good stuff ... i dont mean M&B , R.k . narayan".
with all due respect, to put RKN in the same league as Mills n Boons is blasphemy. b'coz he wrote in simple english doesn't make his work any less good and i hate to point to u tht lofty prose, bombastic language or even high ideal doesn't make a book 'good'.
Just my opinion.
Thnx for replying!
I do understand tht there are levels of reading. first u start with tinkle, chandamama. then move on to tintin, archie. then to hardy boys, famous five, nancy drew. and then to sidney sheldon, archer, dan brown. and then move up to arundati roy, vikram seth, tharoor, life of pi, paulo coelho. i can see tht RKN is in the twilight zone bet'n nancy drew and sidney sheldon and understand tht by ur "read good stuff" u meant 'to move up the reading ladder' which isn't a bad thing. so excuse me for my harsh comment.
I also understand that some of RKN's books may not appeal to all. Haven't read M&B ever (maybe I should) but i thought they were the 'easy on ur mind' stuff. Still, if it was tough to sail thro' some RKN how come it is in the league with M&B :-/
Generation gap... now i am disappointed. tht makes me feel positively ancient (which i am not)
:((
