My Days traces Narayan s life journey up to the point when he became a well-established writer. It starts with his childhood days and proceeds on to his struggle to find a publisher, and then his ensuing success and popularity. R.K. Narayan grew up at his grandmother s house in Madras. He remembers the days he spent in the garden of the house playing with his pet peacock, his first experiences of school, initial fear of the teachers, and trying to be as unnoticeable as possible. He then describes his life in Mysore, his college days there, and his long walks in the city, especially around the Chamundi Hills. This begins another phase in his life, as he settles down in the beautiful city. He becomes a teacher after graduation. Meanwhile, in spite of the opposition from his father, he tries to establish himself as a writer.
