My parents, Dr.K.V.Swamy and Dr.V.Lalitha Mahalakshmi are homeopathic doctors in Chennai, India. They have their clinic setup at Madras Homeo Pharmacy.

My eldest brother Radhakrishnan, is a Ph.D. in Physiology. He is a researcher at Mcgill University in Montreal, Canada and does some research on spinal cord. Should be back-breaking, I guess! Who knows, they might give him Nobel prize and stuff, some day!

Following him, is my second brother, Sankaran, who works in Indian Bank as a manager. He has M.Com and MBA degrees and forayed into computers these days - I see this as a threat to my job! He is married to Vidhya, and has two kids Chobiya & Icham. Ok, their real names are Bhavadharini and Vishwam.

Two of my brothers, Bhaskaran and Ravichandran work with my father in his clinic. They are married to Aparna and Shobana (respectively, of course!). Bhaskaran has a B.Sc degree in Math, and two kids, Harini and Achyuth (a.k.a Olimichu!).

My sister, Vijayalakshmi (Bama) is a home-maker. My bro-in-law, Srinath, has M.Sc and MBA degrees, and works as a manager for a multinational battery company, GNB tech. They have two sons, Vinod and Harish.

It is a closely knit family, although geographically distributed. I love and miss them all.
