it was during the spring of 1980, god showered his blessings again on the mankind by sending yet another zen to this world. to be precise, august 4th 11:24 am, of course there was a new star over the sree sudheendhra medical mission hospital, but only a few saw it. my sun sign is leo and i of course show the naughty guts of a lion cub. peridot is my birth stone though i accept diamonds and pearls as gifts.
its over the same pavements me and beenamol (olympian:-) learned running. the roads of the misty munnar.(one of the greatest hill stations in kerala) my favorite place. most of my favorite things and 'for the first time' things happened there. the place where i learned to write "a,aa", the place where i started recognizing a --- from a ---the place where i did swim first, i smoked first," the place where i saw her first in a cream and maroon uniform, the place where i was caught while scribbling her name on the newly painted bus, the place where i gave my first love letter, the place me and friends used to wander when sent out of the class, the place where we eat "manna bonda", the place where we... for me munnar is the place of memories. sweet and sore.
gandhi, that was the nick name i was called every time i go somewhere. (true, great people get recognized everywhere.) when i reached bharatha matha college-ernakulam for my pre-degree things were not different. fun and adventure were always the first in the queue. and studies of course in the last. :-) still gods were not bad at me, i came out with green seal saying "passed" and joined school of technology and applied sciences for b.sc. computer science. days full of excitements, surprises and fun. recognizing my energy and strengths, the students there selected me as their university union councilor. (remember the quote... great people get recognized...) the same year we outperformed all with a great new fire dance in the annual day celebrations. the trace of that great incident is still there with some of my friends. (didn't know that fire really burns sometime.) there are a lot more to tell about the days past, and those unedited stories can be sent to u personally upon request. :-)
"yahooo" was our usual yell after a tough climbing at the hill top, now it has turned out to be a habit each morning i go office. equally exciting. fresh relaxing air around, i feel cool. (read it, "keewl") i started working as a software professional at hifx it & media services. after six years of experience (which changed my life as a professional) i swiped into yahoo!. and each day i’m learning new ways to yell out loud.. "yahoooo !!!"
and now into facts and figures....
lamby is my first bike.
+1 is the power for my lens.
11 is the footwear size, now guess my height.
28 is the number of candles i blew last b' day.
ctrl is the key that's favorite..
rain and mountains are the two things that i often get seduced with.
kilukkam is the movie i will never get bored to see..
sukhamo devi would be the first line if some one asks me to sing my favorite.
a steering would be the next best thing to my personal pc that would please me sitting before.
and munnar is the place where i want to get buried.
