Born in Madras on 11th August 1975, had a moment of glory at birth when I was taken around the hospital and was shown to all and sundry due to my fairness. Being the last kid in the family had a fair share of my parents attention..
Education & Employment � Having studied upto 6th standard in Madras, moved to Abu Dhabi in 1986 and continued my studies. After completing twelfth standard went to India to pursue my graduation but due to unfortunate circumstances had to lose a year and couldn't get enrolled in any of the Institutions. It was a big disappointment and I had to return to Abu Dhabi. The trait here in the gulf is the fascination to work in the best of offices and the lure of the Dirhams (both of which I have had a fair share). Immediately on return, was able to find a job with a multinational Company and have not looked back eversince. I completed my B.Com thru correspondence while working during the day. Had a brief stint in Dubai and am now back in Abu Dhabi working again.
Culture � Having been born in a Brahmin family (Iyengar), got used to the orthodoxy at home while in Madras and Seergazhi (grandfather's house). Frankly, it would be better if we are not going to be so stricter in orthodoxy in the long run. What is going to be of relevance is how good a person is and not how orthodox he or she is. Nevertheless, am a god fearing person and do my obeisance without fail.
