FUN-FACTS UNKNOWN-17TH EDITION-ANSWER-RESULTS

Hi!

Sorry for being late.Internet connection problem,different answers from great quizzerS made me restless and to find out the most accurate answer,I got into a 6 hour research cause ultimately the right information should be posted.Hard effort always pays off.Finally it had a happy ending of knowing that both the answers are correct.Even to check out and get evidences,downloaded all the 39 episodes of Malgudi Days serial from you tube.Everywhere,it said,'RK Laxman's Malgudi Days.An interview of great Sankar Nag's wife's interview also said so about his husband's wonderful creation.However I carried on.Went by the name of each episode and checked out with the content of both the books "Malgudi Days" and "Swami & Friends" and successfully found all the stories.Sent mails to DD-Doordaeshan and Rajshri Productions who own it.Waiting for their replies to re-confirm.The search page copy sent by Rahul Singhal was a good evidence to prove his point,but we can't ignore You tube original video copies of entire Malgudi Days serial series.At last,found that some are from 'SWAMI & FRIENDS' and others are from 'MALGUDI DAYS'.

giving you the links of this entire episode of search for appropriate and accurate answer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7xvU95eXLk

http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/fr/2006/06/16/stories/2006061602240100.htm
Malgudi magic


V.N. Narayan says further: "Malgudi is Narayan's greatest invention wherein he could put in real people, real places in one harmony of day-to-day existence and eccentricity. Every minor and major character of Narayan's stories fascinates, even the only villain to figure in all his writings, Vasu, the man-eater of Malgudi. Narayan is that supreme alchemist who discovered that the ordinary is the most extra-ordinary aspect of civilised living."

With Shankar Nag's touch, this extraordinary aspect turned into magic. "I have vivid memories of how he came home jumping and dancing to announce that producer T.S. Narasimhan had asked him to make Malgudi Days for television," recalls Arundhati Nag, wife of Shankar Nag and dialogue writer for Malgudi Days. The voracious reader that he was, he had read R.K. Narayan's books cover to cover. But that didn't stop him rediscovering Malgudi's magic with the project on hand.

When the pilot episode (Old Man and the Temple) was approved by a visibly overjoyed R.K. Narayan, Nag went full steam. "We worked very hard, day and night. He had such a wonderful team, in fact the best of those times."

Arundhati recalls how Shankar and she, with their little Kavya, literally "packed up their lives" and went uphill to Agumbe, where much of the series was shot. "The crew and the actors were such a huge number that we had occupied every jagali (front yard) of Agumbe," she remembers. The logistics were intimidating. One episode demanded donkeys and there wasn't a single one in Agumbe, necessitating their sourcing and carting them uphill. For another episode, they even ferried an elephant in a lorry! Dialogue writers, makeup men, lighting team, actors... pitched their tents and worked with total commitment, switched off to time.

But times have changed. "Though I do have many of the crew members from the original Malgudi like the art director and the associate director, it's not the same. Now, everybody is professional and works by schedules.

And with urbanisation and globalisation, even Agumbe is not the same!" explains Kavitha Lankesh. So much so that now 300 vehicles pass every day on the once peaceful Agumbe road, making it extremely difficult to sync sound.

Making it 20 years later, Kavitha has had to face a lot more impediments, even in terms of creating period ambience. For instance, they had to hunt high and low for an old bus before finally locating one of the right vintage in Saundatti, driving it 400 kilometres to the location.

Tathagat Mukherjee and few others(sorry!Don't remember all the names) were among the very few who mentioned the name of both books by RK Laxman and endorsed that Malgudi Days serial was its adaptation.

The other part of the question revolving around the mascots created by Laxman.His famous creation the character COMMON MAN is used as a mascot by Air Deccan.In fact,captain Gopinath has to take permission for this.Laxman was said that,if you use the COMMON MAN as mascot,you have sell the tickets at Rs.1/-,which Gopinath promised him and did it later.The other famous mascot created by him for Asian Paints is Gattu.Thus both are the mascots and correct.
wah!!!There were 34 all correct entries.Happy to know that RK Laxman,RK Narayan are so known, who are the golden brothers who had put India at its zenith by their contribution in their own fields.
