After 3 years in Vizag, Dad was transferred to small town called Khurda Rd in the state of Odissa. We were not at all happy but it was something that Dad could not avoid. He found out that the schools were not great there and we had to learn Oriya as second language. Akka just finished 4th grade and me finished 2nd grade at St. Joseph’s school. Mom’s sister, Ammaji aunty was living in chinnawaltair, a Vizag suburb close to Andhra University. Ammaji was married to Deenaposhakara Rao, who was working in the administrative department of Rani Chandramani Devi children hospital. Dad and Mom got the idea of letting us continue our schooling in Vizag until Dad could figure a way back from Khurda Rd. I am not sure if Ammaji pinni (Aunt) and Deena chinnanna (Uncle) were ready to take care of us along with their 3 kids (Chalapathi, Karuna, Hema), but they agreed to help us. We always stood first in our class and it would be a challenge for uncle and aunty to ensure that we continued to do well in studies.
