He writes in English. “R” in his name represents the name of his village and K, the name of his father-Krishna swami. He was fond of reading different kind of books. After completing his early education he went to England to complete his higher education. He passed his B.A from Maharaja College, Mysore. He later on became a news reporter for the newspaper called “THE JUSTICE”. He published over a dozen novels, two hundred short stories and four books of non-fiction.
