I was Born in a place called ootacamund(Ooty) in South India in the Nilgiris which means Blue Mountains. It is also Called as Queen of Hills. The entire area of the blue mountains constitute the present district of Nilgiri.Nestling in a valley on the crest of the hoary Nilgiri hills, at an average height of 7500 feet(2200 above m.s.l), Ooty or Ootacamund or Udhagamandalan or Udhagai, as it has been officialised now, still retains much of her fabled charm despite the ravages of development. Once the darling of the Englishmen, Maharajas and upper classes, the premier hill station has become a favourite of the masses drawing round the year thousands of visitors of shall shades ranging from the hurried "conducted" tourists eager to have personal darshan of the place they see day after day in the the silver screen to the leisurely naturalists and wild enthusiasts.I studied at the Holy Innocent High School Welington till the First standard |

As my Papa is a central Government Employee he gets transfered to all sorts of places in India.We also get the opurtunity to visit most parts of India.But among them Ooty will always occupy a special place in my hearts.Its a place where i enjoyed my childhood.I could get what things I want by just crying.As i was First born to my parents they loved me Very much.Perhaps this is the reason I'm very much attached with them.
Whatever i wished i would get from my parents.My Papa was always wanted to give me the best and wanted me to show more love towards him rather than mother.I always took the best opurtunity for this.Another thing was I didn't have any tension except for my report card.There was no pressure from home.But still this thought always remain in mind..Next we shifted to Goa. |

Stretches of silver sand wetted by a rush of blue waters, the sky mirroring the sea below, the strumming of guitars from distant taverns, white churches resting against green paddy fields and coconut groves, long nights spent over brewed feni, longer days of sun, sand and sea. In other words, --- Goa.I studied out here in Sharada Mandir High School at Miramar beach.The teachers were a bit strict at school.I remember a particular incident in school.In one of the Exams of General Knowledge I took my own paper to write as our headmistress asked us to bring sheets of papers to write the Exam.I wrote the Exam on my own sheet and submitted.My goodness do you what happened.She started scolding me about my wrinting on my own paper instead of the standard school paper.She called my parents and complained to them.My only fault was I was not in the class when the HeadMistress told us to write the exam in the school paper.It was my first experience with truth..It keeps me thinking even to this moment in my life.Well it was the first and the last time that my parents had to come to the Principal's Office.I did not give another oppurtunity to complain.My Papa and Mama argued a lot with the HeadMistrees.And ultimately I won the Day.I studied there upto the Seventh Standard.It was a

growing period for me to learn more about life..I was brought up inside the disciplined INS Mandovi Naval Base.I earned quite a number of friends in Goa.I lost touch with all of them.But my Papa's colleagues at Goa office are still in touch.I enjoyed most of the memorable moments inside the naval base.But one fine day the Mandovi bridge broke down.From then onwards we used to travel by the Navy boat or the ferry which linked the two land points.It was fun going to school 12 Kms away from school and interacting with the Goa culture.I remember Dad taking us out on weekends to many places of tourist interests and to good restaurents out there..From there we moved to Cannanore in Kerala.I did my Eighth Standard in Chinmaya School .Since i didn't know much of Malayalam I had to adjust initially.From Cannanore only I learnt Malayalam in the proper sence of the word.But still I find difficulty in writing the language. Formerly a major port area, this is now a place known for its handloom and beedi industries. Some of Kerala's finest weavers come from this district. Cannanore is also the headquarters of the country's largest and best-run beedi co-operatives which produces the famous brand, Kerala Dinesh beedi. Valapattanam river which originates from western ghats is the longest river in the district. The others are Mahe, Anjarakandy, Thalasserry, Ramapuram and Perumba. Most of the rivers are navigable. Cannanore district also has extensive forest areas.
I shifted my school to Kendriya Vidyalaya Kannur as it was near to my house.I studied there from the Ninth Standard to the tweleth standard.I enjoyed myself in school and made a lot of good friends.I'm fortunate enough to have got close friends out there in Cannanore.Based on the lenthy discussions that we used to have helped me define myself.After 12 th Std I became independent from the family foothold and joined the millions of people to make the most of my life.I joined the L.B.S College Of Engineering in Kasaragod from 1994-1998. |

The people in the district have, as is the case in other parts of the state, distinctiveness in personal appearance, marked by fairness of complexion, regularity of features, clean habits and simple life. Though at present the percent of literacy is lower when compared to other districts of Kerala, there has been an increased awareness and interest in education these days.
In a religion-wise breakup, though the district is dominated by Hindus, there is a sizable percent of Muslims in this region. Islam had spread here even in the days of Prophet Mohammed. It has been established that Malik Ibn Deenar had arrived in Kasaragod in the earlier period of Islam and Malik Deenar Great Juma Masjid at Thalangara is named after him. Christianity has also rooted here lately, mainly by the settlers in the eastern hilly areas. The first group of settlers came from south Kerala in 1943 and since then, they contributed to the development of these places. Major settlement areas are Rajapuram, Thomapuram, Palavayal, Vellarikundu, Cherupuzha, Bandadka, Pulingom, Panathady etc.
It was from here how Ilearnt to live an own independent life.Here I began to learn the hardships of life. I also began to get scared of the future.After a few years I got exposed to the big word LIFE and forgot thinking about the future .I took life as it comes and enjoying every moment of it.I made some real close friends in my college who inspire me and keep me going.Not to mention my colleagues who are always jovial and helpful at times.I'm really happy with my life I lead.I always think in the positive attitiude is the key to life.
