::me::    ::my education:

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.

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.

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 interested in consumer electronic gadgets.

I am a proud owner of a collection of over 1200 Stamps from various countries (I had the stamps from most of the countries of that era!) all accumulated during the years 1989 - 1998. I have a lot of distinct stamps; colorful ones, stamps in series, collection releases from the postal departments of some countries, 3-D stamps, and many more. Someday when I find enough time, I wish to scan the sheets from my albums and publish them online. As I write this, I still have the memories of those days fresh in my mind; days when I used to wait anxiously for letters from my father while he was on his business tours so that I could wrap-up the stamps from the covers; days when I exchanged some from my collection with friends (sometimes even strangers!) to pocess coveted stamps from them sometimes getting fooled and at times winning-out on great deals.

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.
