Despite the wrong reasons and news (Pollachi is most talked town in the media right now), Still I am proud that I am from  Pollachi. So many wonderful people are from Pollachi. Nature, simplicity and people with true love is the composition of this wonderful town, Pollachi, as I know off. I went to elementary (AMS), middle (VHS), high school (MHS), undergraduate college (NGM) at Pollachi.  My parents, the town, wonderful schools, temples and my friends molded me. Parents guided me to work hard, never give up, be truthful and help others. Teachers guided us in the school showing us what is fundamentally right. We were coed and was well taught how to behave with girls. The girls were nice to us, One example I can remember as an elementary kid was, I had a habit of biting the pencil and my classmate girl told me not to chew pencils, it is not nice and she sharpened it and made it look nice. Immediately I gave up that habit and still remember that incidence and feel happy a...

I am an Alumni of Pollachi Municipal High School - MHSS, Great green environment with excellent cricket ground and a basketball court. Daily we used to go in bicycle to our high school in a group.  This is the entrance with both tall trees on both sides of the pathway. Our principal at that time was  Mr. Nagaraj and for standin - Mr. Seetharaman, a great principal). He always come in tidy clothes  ( Tucked in shirt into pleated pant with a tie and shining shoes ) and have seen him tradional dhothi and white shirt. We also had unforgetable teachers. Physics (Mr. Krishnasamy), Chemistry (Mr. Muthuveeran), Zoology Madam (Ms. Saroja) and Botany (Mr. Jeyachandran). The clerks of the school were funny too. Coming from a convent school (10 years), this school made us street smart in just two years. We had bunch of diversified students and immediately became close friends. This is the entrance to our class room - easy access from cycle stand.  Our daily ride to highschool - ...

I was born in India and always fascinated by Mahatma Gandhi. Sacrificing his richness, practicing simpleness and Ahimsa teaching attracted me towards him. He has guided so many people to the right path. One quote I get motivated is: Mahatma Gandhi:   "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." I became an Environmental Scientist. I did undergrad degree in Biology, Masters in Environmental Sciences and MPhil in Environmental Sciences (Bharathiar University, India) and PhD in Environmental Sciences in Univ. of MD and MS in Computer Science (USA). I love NATURE and was always trying to protect it by research and creating awareness. One quote I get motivated by the great Naturalist John Muir: “In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks.” As a young scientist I wanted to become a man of success. I wanted to earn more and more using my knowledge. Wanted to buy and live in Mansions and also...

Just wanted to deviate from my regular topics. As we approach the holidays week remembered our passions that we loved so much when we grew up. Coming from a small town we were close knit friends who I would consider more of a family than friends. From high school to Masters - during that time our main passions were Cricket, Music and Story books. Most of the discussions were about Cricket, story books we read (mostly written by great Sujatha and historic epics by great Kalki were our favorites) and music. Tamil movies music was our major topic during every gathering and would discuss about the songs for hours. Great Maestro Illayaraja started his peak ascend during these years.         Maestro Illayaraja   (Music Legend)     We loved his music and that continues until today. The thing with his music is that there is something soul touching in it. Just by listening to his song we can go back and re live those days again. We can relate e...
