Nadika was born in Madras (Chennai), in 1982. She does not remember this but has come to accept the statement as fact, considering there has been no opposition to it over these last many years. She also grew up with fairly normal people and under largely normal conditions for a person born in the 1980s in Madras, although one could ask: "what exactly is normal?". This is something Nadika hasn't yet found an answer for.
Unlike other people born and raised in Madras (Chennai, August 1996 being the watershed moment), she moved around a lot, and lived in South Madras (Mandavelli, Mylapore), West/North West Madras (KK Nagar, Saligramam, Vadapalani, Virugambakkam), South Chennai (newly developing Velachery, Madipakkam), North Madras (Kilpauk, Chetpet), and Central-South Madras (Saidapet).
