ABOUT ME

Personal Life

Family, My Heart’s Shelter

                            I come from Nagercoil, a beautiful city in the Kanyakumari district, surrounded by nature's splendor. My family means everything to me, and their love shapes my journey every day. My father, Anilkumar, is a guiding force in my life, offering wisdom and strength. My mother, Asha, fills our home with warmth and care, while my sister, Roshana, adds joy with her laughter and vibrant spirit. Here's a poem that captures the love I have for my family:

In the garden of love, my family blooms bright,  

Father's courage, Mother's warmth, Sister's light,  

In their embrace, I find my heart's delight.

School Life

                            I spent my school years at **Alphonsa Matriculation Higher Secondary School**, from LKG all the way to 12th standard. Those years were filled with learning and self-discovery, laying the foundation for my academic and personal growth. I was particularly fond of Biology, which led me to choose the Maths-Biology group in higher secondary schooling. I always found joy in exploring the natural world and unraveling its mysteries. In my early school years, I didn’t have any close friends, focusing more on my studies. However, everything changed in the 11th standard when I met Harlin Janold. He quickly became a cherished friend and an unbiological brother to me. Our friendship is one I treasure deeply, and I'd do anything for him. Harlin is not just a friend; he's family.

Through the laughter and tears, our friendship grew,

In every adventure, old and new.

A bond unbreakable, a trust so true,

In the tapestry of life, he weaves a hue.

Love for Music & Nature

                            Music and nature are two of my greatest passions. Music, with its ability to speak directly to the soul, fuels my creativity and fills my life with rhythm and melody. Whether I'm listening to my favorite tunes or discovering new sounds, music is a constant companion.

                            Nature, on the other hand, provides me with peace and inspiration. I find solace in its beauty, losing myself in the serenity of the outdoors. The harmony of music and nature reminds me to appreciate life's simple joys and strive for a balanced, fulfilling existence.
