There are four members in my immediate family. Me, my brother and my parents. My name, for those who don't know me, is Rinosh. My brothers name is Nikhil, and my father is Sasidharan and my mother is Roshini. My brother is six years my junior, and I was born in 1979. My parents are currently living in Trivandrum, India. My brother is studying at Kodaikanal, and I am studying at Georgia Tech.
My Dads family consists of three brothers (including himself) and his parents. Although my grandfather died long before I was born, I was lucky enought to be born while my grandmother was alive. Although I have no memories whatsoever...I do have the photographs. Come to think of it I don't even know her name, kidding!!, her name is Gauri, her husband (my grandfather) was Neelambaran. My father is the youngest of three brothers, they are (from the oldest to the youngest) Kavirajan, Sreedharan and Sasidharan. My father was born in 1949.
For reasons that go beyond the scope of this document, I am closer to my mothers side of the family. Thank god (really??) both my grandparents are alive. My mother was the only girl in the five children that my grandparents had. She was always the center of attention. My grandparents are Shamughan and his wife Leela. Their children, from descending order by age, are Roshan, Roshini (my mom), Pravin (Baby mamma), Deepak, Vipin. Although all of them are college dropouts, education is a quality that my mom's side sadly lacks, I love them all. Atleast till they all got married. I have fond memories of Baby mamman, by the way he is a cripple, poor guy was stricken with polio in his childhood. He died on March 23rd 1999. I can't tell you when my mother was born exactly...she tells me that she forgot, can you believe that???. Personally I think that she just doesn't want me to know that she is an old lady by now. (But I estimate that she was born in or around 1957, take or give a few.)
