Thursday, January 29th, 2004

I have been to this site before and have read a few articles, very good one. But I happened to read the About Sulekha.com parts of the site and its very interesting to know how it all started.

We were a typical Indian Middle class family, back in 1980s, when we grew up in Gandhipuram, Coimbatore, with my dad struggling to meet both ends, my mom helping him as much as she can, with all three of us kids, never bothering a bit about it. But for all of us three, for what [...]
