Personal
Information
My full name D. Panchayuthapani is a real tongue twister. “Panchu”, my short name, is better known among my
friends and acquaintances.
Date of Birth : 12th Nov.1969 (not official). It is strange, but very
common among Indians to have an official date of birth other than the original
date of birth.
Religion : I
believe in secularism, but I am a Hindu for
official purpose. The word “religion” is too young to describe Hinduism, one of
the oldest “way of life”. Unlike other
religions, its origin is unknown and nobody created it.
Nationality : We
are a country of diversity, rather “contradictions”. It is a developed country
in many fields, but under-developed in many other aspects. We talk about racism
in other countries, but practice castism at our own backyard. We are proud of
our nuclear assets, but not ashamed of our poor people being forced to use
public places as open toilettes. The developments are city-centric, its
burgeoning cities and their elite population are getting the major share of
globalised economy. The villages are largely untouched, probably the
administrators want to preserve the status quo of “Gandhian Days” as a
tribute to the great soul who always spoke for it…..
……………………………………………still,
I am proud of being an Indian, my
nationality.
Height : 168 cm, looks too small !, I am 1680 mm tall.
Weight : 62 kg, I would be happy if
air lines allow lean passengers to carry extra baggage as a concession.
Status : Unmarried. Will be discarding the first two letters soon.
