I am 166 cm tall, dark complexioned and bald. I thought of wearing a wig, but gave up the idea when I read my favourite author P.G.Wodehouse (click here to know about PGW) declare, ' The only permanent cure for baldness was invented by a Frenchman in the 18th century and was called Guillotine.' Though my hair isn't good , my eyesight is. Among my circle of family and friends, I am the only one above fifty not having to wear spectacles so far.
I have a positive attitude to life. I firmly believe that life is too precious to be wasted in quarrels or being angry or petty or in regret. I try to be a good son, a good husband , a good father and above all , a good human being. If I were asked to write my epitaph in a single sentence, I would say,' He was a simple, straightforward, good and happy person with a sense of humour.'
I am a Hindu Iyengar by birth. Iyengars are worshippers of Vishnu and are also called Vaishnavites. I am not dogmatic about my religious faith, nor can I claim much knowledge about it. But, if you want to know what Encarta Encyclopaedia has about Hinduism, click here. My eldest brother, Rajagopalan , has taken up the study of Vaishnavism after his retirement. When he came here , he surfed the internet on the subject. You can also know about Ramanujacharya's Vaishnavism by clicking here.
