Allright, let me get going...

I was born in Chennai, India. I was admitted to SBOA where I did my KG Classes. It was during the admission process which made me understand the meaning of the word "dumbstruck" for the first time - before I could spell it. My mother was quite disconcerted at a 3-year old (me) having to take an interview to get into a kindergarden school (My God, what is the world coming to?) I don't quite remember much of the interview except that I answered whatever they asked me which left the school principal smiling. But I do remember that I got a blue-colored sharpener, which I was much fascinated with, while on my way back home after the interview. I remember it so vividly because I have a habit of taking extra-care of all my books, toys and stationery and they tend to last me for years.

A cheeky introduction to myself

I was born on March 21, 1988, exactly 220 years after the birth Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier. Huh? How did I really get to know this? The answer lies in the Signals and Systems book by Robert J. Oppenheim.

Back in my second year of my undergraduate study at NIT Trichy, I had a truly gifted lecturer who taught me Signals and Systems. He prided himself as to being extremely knowledgeable about the subject; his only drawback was that he attempted to do calculus in class without knowing basic math. It was then that I decided to learn the subject myself - I decided to read the book myself from beginning till end. I spotted the date of birth of Fourier in the introduction chapter.

About this Blog

I've included some of my personal experiences in this blog. Some of these incidences have had more or less considerable influence in my way of thought in one way or the other... I would treat this blog as a celebration of human life; its wondorous twists, travails, challenges and shortcomings.
