I am
a first generation Singaporean of Indian origin
who
got the ticket to enter this blue planet as Albert Einstein made his exit.
I spent my childhood at Redhill, Singapore and I trace my ancestry to the vicinity
of
the City of the Endless Serpent in God's Own Country , 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 National Service with the Singapore
Armed Forces at the 1st Battalion Singapore Infantry Regiment (1SIR). After that for a period of 12 years, I pursued my dreams in Aerospace through India and USA before returning home to Singapore for a 21 year academic career at Nanyang Technological University. Since July 2010 I am on the faculty at IIT Gandhinagar, India. Besides the daily grind, I
also enjoy Literature,
World
History,
Philosophy (particularly
Ayn Rand), Popular Science, Chess, Go,Photography,
New Age Music of Kitaro and Fusion, IT,
Travel and Philately.
