My father, Mr AVS Reddy, a
post-graduate in the field of physics worked for the electronics giant
JCT Electronics at
Chandigarh
for about sixteen years.
He did many certificate courses at various reputed national and international
institutes in the field of electronics while at work. He had toured as many as
thirty five different nations as part of his work and has been a source and
inspiration towards my hobby of traveling. My mother, Ms A S Rani, is a double post-graduate in the fields of literature
and commerce. She won a gold-medal at university level during her under-grad
program(BCom). My younger
brother is an Engineer in the field of Computer Science & Information Technology
and has been recently conferred
Master of Applied Science (by research)
degree by
UBC,
Vancouver, Canada. He plans to take-up a career in IT at
Montreal, Canada soon. My hobbies/ interests include that of
philately,
photography,
travel/ sightseeing (countries
visited so far,
possible
future destinations), solving puzzles, reading books, numismatics, group
discussion, listening to music, watching movies and blogging
(atleast reading my friends' blog). I like
to keep myself updated with the technological news and am deeply

::me:: ::my
education:
I was born in
Vijayawada,
Andhra
Pradesh, located in the South of
India on the
16th of June. Throughout my childhood and early teenage, though, I happened to stay in
Chandigarh as my father was based there thus getting accustomed to the North
Indian lifestyle. The final year of my high school studies and my pre-university studies
took me to Hyderabad and this is when I got to be in touch to the
traditional customs of my family and the South Indian lifestyle as a whole.

I have always been keen to meet new people, know
greater geographical boundaries, learn about various
customs and experience
the diverse traditions and thus travel around
the world. I started my quest with my higher studies here in Sweden.
Being there, I got this wonderful opportunity
during Summer, 2004 to visit about 11 countries of
the Western European belt including some of most prosperous countries of
the world including the Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway and
Denmark), France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, etc. It was by-far
one the most ambitious, exciting and wonderful trip
I've been on. Later,
just before moving base to India, during November, 2005, I visited
Greece, Finland and Belgium for a week. Do look at the photographs that
I was able to shoot during my trips in the photos section of this site.
