Myself >>>
I'm Sreehari Abhilash (or simply, Abhilash). My neighbourhood friends call me Abhilash, my mom simply calls me 'Abhi' & my sister adds 'Eda' before it. Usually my college mates call me 'Sreehari' and sometimes 'Hari'. My name has several meanings. The first part of my name 'Sreehari' is another name of the Hindu God Lord Vishnu. The second word 'Abhilash' means 'Desire'. The 'Hari' is also a part of my father's name. That’s all about my name. Next, about my birth. I was born and brought up in a small Hindu Brahmin family in Karamana, Thiruvananthapuram. I was born in G.G.Hospital, Murinjapalam, Thiruvananthapuram. Thiruvananthapuram or Trivandrum is the capital city of Kerala State of India.
Education >>>
S.M.R.V is my first Kindergarten which is a small school in our area. Now they have classes up to 4th standard. I did my early school days and upper primary in Chinmaya Vidyalaya - Sastri Nagar & Vazhuthacaud. The renowned Chinmaya Mission has 5 schools in Trivandrum itself. This school taught me what is good, bad, manners, respect, etc. My high school education was in Govt. Model Higher Secondary School, Thycaud, Trivandrum. This is the school where many great cine artists, poets, doctors, etc had studied. Padmashree Mohanlal, Manianpilla Raju, Jagathy Sreekumar and his son, etc. The first rank holder in Engineering Mr.Krishna Ram also studied in the same school. This cannot be considered as an ordinary government school as the tuition, facilities stood at par with private schools in the city. After my colourful school days, there comes the sweet college days. I registered as a private candidate for pursuing Pre-Degree & Bachelor of Commerce in University of Kerala. I joined Tandem College of Professional & Management Studies, Sasthamangalam, Trivandrum and spent 5 years there from 1999-2000 to 2003-04. Simultaneously with my Pre-Degree course, I did Diploma in Computer Management, Certificate in Visual Basic programming and Typewriting English Higher grade certifications.
Career >>>
At the early stages, the concept of a job was just for making money to chill out. And also due to my computer savvy nature, I worked with Enter Technologies Pvt. Ltd, Technopark, Trivandrum for 4 months as Business Transcriptionalist and Data Conversion Operator simultaneously with my second year B.Com studies at Tandem. I left the company because it made me bunk so many classes due to irregular shifts & schedules imposed by the company. After the B.Com final year examination, I worked with Dimensions BPO India Pvt. Ltd, Infopark, Cochin as Information Processing Officer. I then moved to Raaj Management System, which is an Authorised Monitoring Service Party of Samsung India Electronics Ltd, Cochin as MSP Executive where I could learn a lot of practices in the electronics mixed business world. Then at last I decided to do MBA and returned to my home town, Trivandrum. I was preparing for the entrance test as well as working in Astron Document Management Pvt. Ltd, TechnoPark (The 1st IT Park of India), Trivandrum as Process Associate on a temporary basis till May 19, 2005. Now doing MBA (Marketing & HR) in Sathyabama College of Science & Technology (Sathyabama Deemed University), Chennai which is a very famous college with A-Grade certification by AICTE and Approved by Min. of HRD, Govt. of India and Approved by UGC, ISO 9001:2000 Institution. I completed my first semester, for which I secured 65% mark. In 2 year I will come out as a Manager!!
Interests >>>
My interest lies in many fields. The first and primary interest is surfing the net, emailing, chatting, etc. My other interests are watching English movies, listening to Hindi and English music. I usually rent VCDs/DVDs from the library to watch movies. As I am interested in computers, I regularly read computer and IT magazines to update my knowledge. I also like Carnatic music, but mostly the remix of those old songs. I learned Carnatic music for 5 years from Mrs.Vijayalakshmi. It is said that the Carnatic music energizes us up to some extent, while remix versions are quite more refreshing. I also undertake social works in our Residents' Association without charging any thing.
