Originally Tamil Iyers from the border district of Palakkad in Kerala, we have been domicile Maharashtrians for over 60 years. Currently, our entire family lives in Bangalore.
We are a second-generation army family, and both the girl's grandfathers have fought in the Second World War. My husband is a highly respected senior Army officer, who retired as a Brigadier from the Indian Army, I am a retired English lecturer. We have a younger daughter who is a software engineer. We are a cosmopolitan and well-educated family (except for my younger daughter, everyone is a post-graduate), and have travelled & lived in almost all parts of India. We speak English at home and are fairly religious.
