Vem är dr. skinner i r.k narayans my days?
R. K. Narayan föddes i Madras (numera Chennai) i Brittiska Indien. Han var ett av åtta barn: sex söner och två döttrar. Narayan var den äldsta av sönerna; hans yngre bror Ramachandran blev senare redaktör på Gemini Studios, och den yngsta brodern Laxman blev serietecknare. Hans far var rektor och Narayan gjorde en del av sina studier i faderns skola. Eftersom faderns arbete innebar frekventa förflyttningar tillbringade Narayan en del av sin barndom under sin mormors mormors, Parvatis, vård. Under denna tid var hans bästa vänner och lekkamrater en påfågel och en busig apa.
R. K. Narayan was born in Madras (now Chennai), British India. He was one of eight children: namely, six sons and two daughters. Narayan was the oldest of the sons; his younger brother Ramachandran later became an editor at Gemini Studios, and the youngest brother Laxman became a cartoonist. His father was a school headmaster, and Narayan did some of his studies at his father's school. As his father's job entailed frequent transfers, Narayan spent a part of his childhood under the care of his maternal grandmother, Parvati. During this time his best friends and playmates were a peacock and a mischievous monkey.
