Family History

I hail from a family of Tamil scholars, poets and writers.I trace my roots to the 20th century Tamil scholar Karmega konar of whose name lies a major arterial road in madurai where the Kalaingar Centenary library is located now.It was during the 2006-11 period of Dr.Kalaignar as chief minister that my great grandfathers works got nationalised by the Tamil Nadu government.

There is a heavy Burma repatriation history along with Vietnam and Sri Lanka in my family which in fact triggered my quest for my family history exploration. Madurai and it's villages has been my spot since 1800 as far as I was able to go. From educational book publishers, legislators in TN assembly , professors in various domains ,silicon valley professionals to woman PhD holders way back in 1970s the long march of our family towards the path of education from 1900 has left an impeccable mark in my life.
