About me

[MY PIC]

Who I am: I am the only son of my loving and caring parents. Though I was born in Kerala in India, I was brought up entirely in a township called Kalpakkam in the neighbouring state of Tamilnadu. During the 12 years of schooling at the Kendriya Vidayalaya No. 1 there, I led an easy and carefree life sheltered from all external influences, both good and bad.; It was at IIT Madras, where I did my B.Tech in Naval Architecture, that I came face to face with the challenges of the real world. But thanks to the greatest gang of friends I had, the 4 years that I spent there turned out to be the best period of my life. I might even say that most of my current interests and beliefs developed during my stay there.; The next stop in my journey was PennState, University Park in the US of A, where I completed a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering.

What I do now: I am working as a Business Systems Analyst in Richmond, VA. And before you ask, yes, its has got a LOT to do with engineering!
