I remember bit about couple of friends I had in my neighborhood. I also remember a bit about my first pet dog Rockey .

Primary School 1978-83

I did my Primary School Central School , Baghdad, Iraq. * Yea the Saddam Husieen's Den*. The school was run by the members of the Indian Community in Iraq. Indians were quite a bit in number and I had a nice time. The hanging gardens of the Babylon are definitely worth seeing. But missed my country there a lot. Unfortunately I have lost touch with all my friends who were there with me. My youngest sister Vishaka was born here.

Pre High School 1983-84

After I returned from Iraq. I was in a place called MuzzafarNagar in India for about a year. Most of my relatives from my mothers side are here. I know quite a friends here.

Most of the nice pretty girls in my batch shifted to the Biology stream. :(. Thus I decided to shift to a New College. I remember few of the nice teachers who taught me. Late Mr Clifford ( Geography) Mrs Murthi ( Comp. Sc.) Ms. Sarkar ( English). My sister, Vishaka, is still studying in the same college.

Intermediate 1988-1990

But the Standard of teaching was very high. Two of my best friends Manik & Arun also joined with me. I also met few new friends, with whom unfortunately I have lost touch, Sanjay, Saket, Anurag . The Teachers Mr. Tandon ( maths), Mr. Sidhiqee, Mr. Goel ( Chemistry). were definitely very Good.

Fortunately, I did well here in my studies and was among the cream in all the 4 years. Here I met some of my great friends Puneet, Vagish, Avninendra, Amit, Ajay, Nitesh . Unfortunately I was not very impressed with the Professors out here.

Masters 1994-96

I did my Masters from Indian Institute of Science , Bangalore. Definitely one of the best Institutes in India & comparable to Best in the World.
