Well... most of my friends had great looking web pages, and I had a small resume up, so falling under peer pressure, I decided to make the Coolest Web Page which would be their envy forever. Well, here it is! :) (am i not sooo modest?)

Anyways, so here I go.... Though I was born in Tripunithura (Kerala), I was brought up @ Whitefield a little hamlet in Bangalore . I completed my primary education at St. Josephs Convent where I studied for 6 years before I moved to another great school in the locality, Ujjval Vidyalaya where I spent 6 more amazing years.

I did my collegiate education at Christ College (Bangalore) and specialised in Electronics. It was fun being at Christ College. The great environment we had for study ( and fun) and the great (friendly) lecturers R unforgettable. We used to rule the roost in the college cultural programs esp. Miming, Mad Ads, Skits and of course dramatics. Participated in a lot of extra curricular activities like Autumn Muse (St. John's Medical College) and the great cultural show at IISc (Don't remember it's name!!). How can I forget the great amount of fun and frolick I had with Anu, Ravi, Pradeep, Bhooth, Surjo, Vinod, Santosh etc. The great get-togethers, the hours we used to spend talking, Bird Watching, trips and ale sessions are unforgettable. The dreams & fantasies we used to share .... I wonder when it will all be accomplished..... miles to go before I sleep...

By the time I finished my honours, computers had started becoming the buzzword. I was always fascinated with logics and algorithms and no marks for guessing what I pursued after my honours.. Joined NIIT for a basic course in computers and went on to complete my GNIIT. Being an ambitious guy, I always wanted to pursue with something that went with my education. Did a couple of projects for a couple of companies before which I joined for a full time job - Teaching computers! This I did for just over a year. By now my course @ NIIT had reached a stage of completion and I was ready to do my Professional Practice. I joined The Economic Times, a job I was lucky to get, well not as a journalist as most people believe, but as a web programmer working and reporting to Saritha Rai, the Editor. This is the place where I got exposed to the real world of the web and internet technologies... I must thank Saritha for having faith in me and encouraging me to try out new things... I must also say that this is the place where I ended up being a workholic and the best thing is I enjoyed it all... I was there to see through it all... The Great Indian Elections, The Indian Budget, The Nuclear Blasts et all .. enjoyed working with Vinaya Rao, Simon Varghese, Priya Kerur, Diwaker Dayal and Kalyani. The Team ET-ONLINE was an instant hit, with all it's hard work and total dedication.

M y very first work experience is worth telling you about. Going round the city trying to coax people into buying imported Cordless Phones. Did a good job though, but wasn't too keen in making it my career....

As for my future, well..... we shall see when it arrives.
