        As I was the only son of my parents who took keen interest to teach me Martial art at the age of ten. My father K.P. Nanoo a Freedom Fighter of India who learned martial art during his underground life in connection with Freedom struggle initiated me in the art of Kalaripayattu and my mother A.T.Janaki taught me the important of traditional medicines.
