IV. My children

I myself am the seventh son of my parents. I was born on 16 April 1908 in my native place. The thithi is Kilaka naama samvatsara chaitra shukla pournima, with moon at chitra nakshatra. That day is also famous for Bangalore karaga. My progeny are shown in the tree below.

A family photo taken in January 1948, before my last son was born is shown below.

It shows my wife, I, Narasimha Murthy, Appi and Balu standing(left to right), and my son Srinath sitting.

My son Nagendra prasad was born on April 13, 1953( second day after Ugadi- Varshada hechchu). He passed away on July 20 1957. We were all sick with Asian Flu and he was not given adequate attention. A photo of him taken at 573 college road house(circa 1956) is shown below.

My son Srinathu was handicapped and suffered a good deal in later years. He died in Mysore Saraswatipuram-Thonachikoppal house on November 14, 1997 (Kaarthika shukla thrutheeya)

The photo above shows four of us in Mysore University convocation dress.

Now coming to my autobiography, I give details of my early boyhood, education, married life, service in palace, retirement and later life.
