I started my professional journey 25 years ago by joining a Madras-headquartered instrumentation company. At that time, my dream was to settle down in Madras. Being a Palghat Iyer, I did not wish to move beyond the familiar environs of Chennai, what with a lot of common features linking both places. But I did journey beyond this initial destination and spent time away in Delhi, Hyderabad and Kochi for professional reasons. Each stage in my life was fraught with complexities and insecurities but the common thread that kept me going was the possibility of being able to return one fine day.
