Location Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
Introduction Among four sisters, the third born to an accountant father who had nothing negative to say about anyone and a hardworking mother who retired as a teacher. Education and being good humans were given top priority. Took up Commerce, Law and Business Management while 2 sisters did their engineering and one did her doctorate in Chemistry. Cooking for the family and serving food with devotion, offering prayers everyday for everyone is a routine I have never missed for even a single day for many years now. My day is not complete without reading 2 magazines, The Hindu, studying at least one horoscope. Blog intermittently - time permiting. Patience and perseverance are the keywords I love. I respect my husband for his deep trust and faith in me. I love my twin sons more than anything in my life. Have cared for my father, father-in-law, mother-in-law (all three, now no more) and my aged mother who lives with us.
