I am a first generation SINGAPOREAN  (of Indian Origin) who got the ticket to enter this beautiful blue planet when Albert Einstein left this world. I spent my childhood at Redhill, Singapore  and I trace my ancestry to the vicinity of the City of the Endless Serpent in Kerala, a state in India,  fringed with emerald green palm trees, lagoons and long stretches of golden beaches hugged by the blue waters of the Arabian Sea. During the period December 1973 - June 1976, I served the mandatory military service (National Service-which all sons of the soil must serve) with the Singapore Armed Forces at the 1st Battalion Singapore Infantry Regiment (1SIR). I am currently having great fun being a faculty member at NTU. Besides the daily grind, I also enjoy Literature, World History, Philosophy (particularly Ayn Rand), Popular Science, Chess, Go,Photography, New Age Music of Kitaro,Yanni, and Indi-Fusion, Cyberspace, Travel and Philately.
