I was born and brought up in Kakinada. I love Kakinada because, it has a blend of small town atmosphere and big city amenities.
Now I am living in South Florida (Boca), easily one of the prettiest places I've been to. Here, you see palm trees and beaches wherever you go. The trees and the weather here remind me of India. I have to tell you, I brought down the average age in Boca. You see more old people here than anywhere else in the world, I promise.

I can't believe its been more than five years since I first came to US. I came to Dallas during Fall 1998 to do my Masters at University of Texas, Arlington (nearby suburb of Dallas, 30 miles away). I graduated in December 1999 and started working for Qatalys (then VisualSoft). After many transformations, I ended up here in South Florida working for ADT.

I am a big sports fan. I love watching all major sports, especially college football. They play with more passion and energy than any other sport I've seen. The universities have lot of tradition and pride, its a treat to watch the game with the mascots watching and the bands playing. Of all the teams, my favorite college team is Texas Longhorns. My favorite college band is Florida State Seminoles. I love their War Chant Song.
