My birthplace is Moodbidri which is located in the state of Karnataka,India.

My father was Mithbail Gopal Nayak and mother Krishna Bai Nayak.

My father was from a village named Mithbail which is 4 K.Ms away from Moodbidri,in Karnataka state India.My father studied till 4th standard as the village did not have higher education.So he went to stay with his married sister Kaverakka to get knowledge about business. Her husband was a businessman.So after getting basic training under him he went to Moodbidri to start his business.He stayed as a paying guest in Moodbidri and later married my mother who was staying in that house.My mother also studies till 4th standard and she was 14 years old when she got married to my my father who was 24 years old at the time of marriage.

My mother gave birth to her eldest child Ramdas when she was 17 years old.

My mother had an elder sister Koppiakka who used to help her during her delivery.

At 19 she got another son named Mohan.The life was very simple at that time.People used to have only necessary items inside home.The servant will visit home everyday to help in household jobs.They will also give bath to children at home.The cooking is done by using fire from woods.Once the wood is lit in the morning the same will burn till afternoon till lunch is prepared.Guests ,neighbours will drop in at anytime and they will get all treats like coffee, tea and breakfast items or lunch.

At 21 my mother gave birth to another child named Ratnakar.

I remember some of the incidents happened when I was a kid as they were something unique and interesting.One such incident was happened when I was probably 3 years old. We used to sit in one line on floor of the kitchenfor having boiled rice Kanji early in the morning along with pickle.Boiled rice is cooked with lot of water so it becomes liquidish.Hot hot Kanji was served with home made ghee and Mango pickle.One day i just walked in to have kanji and i kept my in plate having hot Kanji.My foot got

boils all over andf the pain was unbearable.My mother applied coconut oil and I slept all day as I was unable to walk.In the evening the boil became so huge and it covered whole foot like a big bubble.

In native place everybody is takes the role of a Doctor.At night when I was sleeping my elder brother who was 13 years old at that time heated a needle and pricked the boil so all water stored oozed out and it became flat.In the morning my mother applied coconut oil.

In front of my home there was a open space where we used to sit and watch birds and cats wandering around.When my mother used to cook in the kitchen she used to give me some puffed rice in a bowl to eat so that I used to sit eating one one slowly.My elder sister screamed as she saw a ratsnake passing behind me.My mother came running out and took me inside home.  Rat snake is very common they are found on  grounds and on trees too and they are harmless.    

In those days 3 to 4 houses built close to each other with common moving space in front of home In the centre there used to be a ground.  There used to be tall boundry wall for safety purpose.One door was there in the centre of boundry wall and at night time when members of all homes return this doors used to be closed.
