Welcome and thanks for stopping by. I'm glad that you made it this far . . . and I hope that you will stick around long enough to get to know just a little bit more about me and my life, my work, my thoughts, my attitude and I'll get to know yours. Together, we'll build bridges, enjoy journeys and emerge richer by the experience. After all, these days, acquaintances that begin in cyberspace are often the most real, vivid, and long-lasting - and may be that will be true of us.

My name is Muraleedharan and popularly known as Murali on Net. I was born on 18th of April and thus born under zodiac sign of Aries. People say that Ariens are talkative and so am I.

I did my Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from The Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers [IETE], New Delhi with Specialization in Computer Engineering.

I spent most of my school days reading detective novels and watching current affair programs. But that doesn't mean that I was not studious. After my engineering I switched maximum of my time to Computers. I use to do computers 7 hours a day including Sundays. The matter went so serious, that one day my uncle took me to a psychiatrist for a toneup. Ha! Ha! Ha!......

I guess that the best - and fastest - way to really get to know me is by discovering what I like. So here goes ... As you might have guessed rightly, my main hobby is related to computers. I love working on computers Surfing thro' the net, web page designing and developing something creative. Reading, Aquariums and Gardening are my old timepass and still they are. My favourites? I'm an avid reader. I love novels and autobiographies of Great Personalities.

Presently working with IBM Global Services as Technical Executive-ITS [S/390 Group], since March 1997 and recently I got Team of the month award from CEO of IBM India Limited. It's intersting! Is in't it?

I belonged to a middle class family and still live by its rules. And I have held on to these middle class values inspite of being in a feild which sets its own norms. I learnt a lot from my father. Though a non conformist, he is a very fine human being. He is very tolerant and completely selfless. From my mother, I learnt the difficult art of survival.

I am deeply attached to my family. I enjoy their company and need their support at all times. I am the only son of my parents and rest I have three elder sisters, all are married and settled. My parents & sisters were always there for me.

I wished, I could mention the names of all my family members but that would made this page irrelevant and bulky as it is a long list. That does'nt mean that I have less respect for them. I love my family very very very...(infinite loop) much. My only apprise to all you there on the cyberspace is "Be a part of your family at all times"

A person is known by the company he keeps. Let me introduce you to my friends.
