My family...they are the world to me!
Its said that ones best friends are one's parents and siblings. I am lucky to have the most loving parents and the most wonderful brothers and sister. You can choose your friends but you cannot choose your parents and siblings...do I need to? or can I choose any better?
We are three brothers and a younger sister. I'll be devoting most of this page to talk about the most wonderful girl that I know as my sister. Shilpi aka Ranu (as we call her...) is a bubbly, buoyant, beautiful, loving and benevolent girl...if those words can do justice to her! She loves her brothers very much and she is the one who takes care of our parents all the time, mostly that all of us three brothers are working away from Lucknow.

My Parents...they made me what I am today!
I cannot express my gratitude to the selfless acts and innumerable sacrifices my parents made to ensure that I always had the best in life. Even though not strong financially, my father had me going to a convent school for education. My mother gave up her promising career in teaching, to ensure that our education and other needs are never neglected! My mother taught English language and was Principal at a Junior High school for girls before she left her job when Neeraj was born. She decided it was more important to give her children more time than anything else. My mother taught me well till during my early days at school. My father loves reading and I got that habit in me from him. He is a very learned man and he loves to talk about his books! (now you know what to catch him on!)

Pankaj...the eldest among us!
Pankaj is my eldest brother. He is the most humble of the lot, even though he is about four years elder to me...he is still very receptive to the suggestions and ideas of his younger brothers and sister. Married in 2001, he is the one who is the closest to our parents in Lucknow. He is working at UP Warehousing Corporation in Lucknow.

Neeraj...my middle brother!
Born on Nov 29th, Neeraj is two years younger to Pankaj and older to me by the same difference. Neeraj is the one we consider the most mature among us, mostly because of his cool temperament - he rarely lets his decisions get influenced by emotions, as opposed to any of us. Always studious, he had his education at Kendriya Vidyala, AMC Centre school, Lucknow and went on to do Tool Room Engineering from ITTUP, Lucknow (an institute highly reputed in India for its Tool Room training). He is presently working with Schneider Electric Pvt Ltd. in Nasik, Maharastra . I cannot close the talk about him without mentioning Falguni. Fagu has been his long time girlfriend, and they got married in January 2003. I must add here, that this was another fine example of his cool nature, as initially Fagu's parents were against the marriage (Fagu happens to be a Gujrati damsel!) but in the end, my brother's strong will power and perseverance had the better of their objections to the marriage!
