Yes, 'Waiting for the Mahatma' is among his best. It's set against the backdrop of India's struggle for independence. The story follows Sriram, a young man who is in love with Bharati, a follower of Gandhi. It beautifully blends the themes of love and the larger political and social movements of the time.

Another great work is 'Malgudi Days'. This collection of short stories is set in the fictional town of Malgudi.

It's about a tiger who tells his story and how he ended up in Malgudi. It shows Narayan's creativity in using an unusual narrator.

Well, Narayan Murthy's life story is one of great achievement. He was born in India. He had a strong educational background which helped him in his entrepreneurial journey.

Over the years, he overcame numerous challenges, from getting clients in the international market to building a corporate culture at Infosys that was based on values like integrity and innovation.

Yes. 'A Hero' by RK Narayan is about a young boy named Swami. Swami is an ordinary boy with an active imagination. He is afraid of sleeping alone in the office room as his father wants him to. He tries to avoid it by coming up with various excuses. However, in the end, he has an unexpected encounter that makes him seem like a hero in a way. Overall, it shows the journey of a boy from fear to a moment of unexpected bravery.

The story 'The Tiger's Claw' by RK Narayan likely revolves around the theme related to a tiger's claw. However, without having read the specific story in detail, it's hard to fully summarize. But generally, Narayan's works often deal with the everyday life, culture, and human - nature interactions in India. So it might involve a situation where the tiger's claw has some significance in the context of the characters' lives, perhaps in a rural or small - town setting in India.

The story 'Father's Help' by R.K. Narayan is about a boy named Swami. Swami is a schoolboy who doesn't want to go to school.
