I grew up in a remote village filled with noble people. Pure white sand, lush green trees and a stream through our farm filled with birds gave a lot to my character. I did my schooling in the best school of the locality where I found true great friends. Life was filled with joy and peace with our joint family. I used to read a lot from the huge library we had at school. They allowed us to take books home and by the time I reached my 9th standard I completed the entire series of Hardy boys, Enid Blyton & Nancy Drew. Kanyakumari Public School (KPS) had intellectual teachers who were always willing to share their knowledge while teaching us how to face the world independently with self confidence. The campus was lovely with trees & birds.
Eventually I did my higher school in Nagercoil, a small town which was totally different from the earlier school life. The teachers had canes, spoke foul language and even the classmates were either bullies or show-offs. This is where I learnt that only the Fittest will Survive. I then did my Engineering in a hot dry place which I have nothing to share about. Neither was it good nor bad. I still think that I learn t a lot more in my 8-10 Standards compared to what I learnt in my Engineering course. I had worked with NEPC for some time and then another Wind Power Company called Baron Power in Madras which is now called as Chennai.
My friend Joe Felix took me to Dubai UAE in search of a Job.When I landed in UAE, Middle East in the late 90's I was surprised by the number of scrap vehicles and materials dumped for miles and miles in the desert, especially in Sharjah. While having a chat about this with my European Boss, we hatched the idea of connecting recycling & steel manufacturing companies with scrap business. That is how RIM was born and then it extended its hands to all type of recyclable materials not only in middle East but also all over the world.
I got married in 2002 and have 2 kids aged 9 and 3 which is the best thing ever happened in life.
My passions are antiques, comics, travel, fishing and hunting. I live in Kottaram, Kanyakumari with family and a Dog named Black. I also write for Submitinme.com which offer SEO Services.
