"Nurungukal" means bits. I want to share bits of my life experience. Its not that my life is worth emulating . Still as far as I am concerned  there were incidences which are fascinating especially in child hood days. My language and grammar may not match  correctly but can convey ideas and  thoughts. So let me start scribbling.

I was born on 25 December 1940, in a place called Ponnani. Those days it was part of Palakkad district in Madras state. Most popularly known as Malabar region. Now it is in Malappuram district and in Kerala, after the re organisation of states. Ponnani is on the shores of Arabian sea. Where fishing is the main lively hood. But in the in lands agriculture ,mainly coconut groves and paddy fields supported the economy. Our family had some holdings of coconut and paddy . In those days such property owners were called  Land Lords or in Malayalam Jmmies.We belonged to Menon nair community the so called forward casts !!

When I was born my father was in Burma now Miamer. He was a stenographer in  Burma municipality under a British officer. He was very proud of his job and held British officers in high esteem. He was  very straight forward personality, meticulously dressed with a strict life style. He maintained a good physique. I will come back to him later .
