Hi everybody let me thank you for taking some of your precious time to surf through my home page. I ll be glad if you give it a thorough reading and mail your feedback.

The author is Ravindran Ramabadran, yours truly. I was born to Mr.N.Ramabadran and Mrs.Vasantha Ramabadran. I was born in Chennai (Capital city of Tamil Nadu, India). My childhood was spent in Trichirapalli, hometown of my father. I did all my Education from Trichirapalli. My primary education started in Sri Ranga Matriculation School, Srirangam. I completed my 7th grade in that school. We were residing at Renga Nagar, Srirangam since time unknown to me and we had to shift residence to Sudarshan Nagar, near Ammamandabam River, were we were residing for 2 years.

Finally, we shifted our house to T.V.S. Nagar, the other side of Trichirapalli which is nearer to Junction. Due to change in our residence, I continued my studies in E.R. Higher Secondary School from 8th Grade onwards. I am proud to be a student of E.R. High School. Even though I have not earned more friends from that school, I owe my better schooling and culture to that institution. I have to thank all my teachers and the management of the school for the same. I had very few friends in this school. Devi Prasad, Giri, Vaitheeswaran, Srinivasan Venkatramani, Venkateswara Devadas, Murugesan S, Suriya Narayanan J, to name a few I remember the most.

After successful completion of 12th Grade, time was in for U.G course (Under Graduate), I joined B.Sc Computer Science in U.D.E.C (Urumu Dhanalakshmi Evening College) for my Under Graduate pursuit, where I was awarded a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science. This college is sentimental in the sense that my paternal cousin Murali Renganathan was with me. We were united after nearly 9 long years and that unity is still maintained. Hence this is one of the turning points in my life.

I am also thankful to Smt.Kaveri Sabarathinam Aachi & Sri Sabarathinam Chettiyar who gave me an opportunity to study computer courses in their Computer Training Centre (LAN COMPUTER SCIENCE). After training in their center, I was given an opportunity to teach the budding students in that center, thus teaching profession started in July 1998. It helped me to concentrate my computer exams in my college. The college was a highly disciplined institute and it instilled good manners to the students. This strict disciplinary act made me a sincere and studious student, who would never dare to bunk his classes even if friends initiated or provoked. As they say, every dog has its day, I was involved once in a mass bunk operation by all the classmates to watch a movie. I still remember the movie was “Pennin Manadhai Thottu” a good Movie. We watched the picture in one of the famous cinema hall in our city, “Kalai Arangam”.

As every aspiring student feels, it was time for my Masters degree after completion of my Bachelors. I was one of the many unlucky student of not getting a chance to enter a college of repute to do my Masters in Computer Applications, in the open quota. Our family background was not so sound in finances to get me admissions in the Payment quota or Management seat as it is popularly called. Once again The Chettiar family came to my rescue to convince my father and help me get an admission in the payment quota (with a free seat) in the same college I did my U.G.I am also thankful to the Head Of my Department (H.O.D)Mr. R. N. Balasubramanian. My Masters Degree shaped me into a complete man with maturity and variety in my ability. There were all 63 students in my batch and each one of us was unique in some way or the other. I thoroughly enjoyed my classes as the college was known to me and the faculties were also not new. I was elected as a student representative by my fellow mates during those periods in the college. Here I was privileged to gain some leadership qualities and to get exposure in public speaking and improving on my P.R. abilities. May be I owe this talkative ability to me previous experience as a teacher in LAN computer center.

We did have our own gags in our college. As they say all work and no play makes jack a dull boy, I had this habit of naming fellow mates with a nick name. I remember when I called a fellow girl student by her nick name, she stopped talking to me! After my other friends coaxed me to apologise to her, she did get convinced and then I decided calling names do annoy many people!. The irony is this girl I had mentioned just now is no more to share this page. She left us on the 20th apr-2000, the date which is permanently etched in my memory. Her b’day was the 11th mar-78, which meant she was just 2 days elder to me. Now I hope somewhere in some way or the other she might be reading this small gesture towards her.

Did I bore you to the core, please hang on, just check out my hobbies and my favourites….
