This web page is designed and maintained by me. I started this originally as a passtime. I took no formal course on web designing, for that matter,  no one really require any special skill to design a simple web page. I thank my friend S. Sivakumar, presently a research fellow of IIT, Chennai for allowing me to use his computer. My special thanks to my senior Mr. P. T. Umashankar for getting the photographs scanned. Finally I thank Lycos for the giving me a space in the virtual world.
