Hello!!

Since you are curious about me, let me tell you everything. I am a native of a small,beautiful town called Kannur located in the northern part of Kerala, one of India's most beautiful states. However, I was born (April 20th) at a Airforce base hospital in Chennai, which is the capital of the neighboring state of Tamil Nadu.

I did my schooling in Chennai and New Delhi. I really love the days that I spent in Delhi. Life was really cool there. Then, I moved to Kannur to do my Mechanical Engineering at Govt. College of Engineering, Kannur( GCEK). Man, those were the best days of my life. We were a really carefree bunch of Royal Mech guys, pretty much indulging in the anti-social life that was expected of us. To my relatives in Kannur, I was always the "studious" guy, and they had no clue what was going on in campus. But,hey! We also got good grades. When we left the campus there sure was a whole lot of people that were relieved.

I was lucky enough to get a job before graduation at a company called Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTS) in Chennai. Life there was a potpourri of "characters" from Engg. Colleges all over Kerala- It was FUN! I had a brief stint there and then came to the US to do my MS in Industrial Engineering. I graduated in May 2001 with my Masters degree from The University of Arizona,Tucson and then joined Texas Instruments as a Manager in the Assembly/Test site at Tucson. So that is where I stand. More on me, as time flies....

Updates- I have been married now, and still work in the US- at Intel Corp.

Thanks for your time,
