I grew up in a village called Varakkalpet, near Nellikuppam in Cuddalore District of Tamil Nadu.

After studying in the village's Panchayat Union Elementary school till my third grade, I was sent abroad to study. Just kidding folks..! I went to Danish Mission Hr Sec School in Nellikuppam. I studied there till my 7th grade.

The distance between Varakkalpet and Nellikuppam was around 5 Kms then. I hope, it still remains the same. Just kidding again..!

Then I went to St.Joseph's Hr Sec School (Main) in Cuddalore,  till my 12 th grade. This school was a leading institution, till I joined. Just kidding folks..! It still is a leader in education.

Then I took off to the one and only 'Chennai Pattanum' to do my Engineering Degree in Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering. This was during 1987.

Why did I choose Engineering? I don't know. May be because, I dreamt about building huge buildings, bridges etc.

Anyway, after four years of my college, I learnt that, they won't really allow Electronics and Communication Engineers to construct buildings. And they said that I am an Electronics and Communication Engineer.

Later, my friends too confirmed this.

Then I started looking for a computer related job.

I started my career (Year: 1991) as Customer Support Engineer in Sterling Computers Ltd, Madras. After damaging.. ah.. managing some of their customer's computers, I decided to leave.

Just kidding folks! I had very good clients while I was working with this company and some of them are still my friends.

Anyway, I left the company during 1993 to join Frontline Solutions Ltd, a HCLHP company. I guess the name of this company has been changed now and is one among the HCL Corp's company now. I worked as a Customer Support Engineer here.

I left this company to join Satyam Infoway Ltd, Madras during 1996. I joined as a Senior Engineer - Network operations, here.

Then I really thought about the future. I mean, India's future. She always has her own list of problems. I seriously thought of reducing atleast one of her problems.  That's is to keep myself out for a while. And so I went to USA during 1997 to work :-)

I am still living in USA, with my small family consisting of myself, my wife and my two daughters.
