My Family:

A Pillar of Love and Strength

I belong to a small family consisting of my father, mother and Elder brother. As my parents were working me and my brother spent most of our childhood with our grandparents. We love grewing up there as the house is always surrounded by people and as the main source of income is from cultivation it will be always busy and noisy. My grandparents house is an old traditional home with a medium courtyard where it will be occupied at times with coffee, pepper and hay depending on the cultivation and time of year. It is a place away from the busy life where we occupy ourselves with the nature and care and love support from grandparents. So before parents I love to introduce my grandparents.

My grandfather T.G Krishnan Kutty (late), who we used to describe as a mini hitler but at same time loving and caring, worked as a Superviser at Estate situated nearby. My grandmother Sathimani T K, who is loved by everyone is not only a house wife as well as manages the agriculture. The way she communicates cares each and everyone still invokes curiosity.

My Father P Ravi, Rtd AEE from PWD Department, comes from a family of 11 members including his father and mother. Growing up he teaches the importance of hardwork and how to be minimal. At an extend he was strict during our childhood.

My mother Sujatha T K, Rtd AE from KSEB, comes from a family of 5 members. She was a studious and dedicated student. The way she manages everything really wonders us. She is a typical mother who scolds for everything and the very next minute a very caring and lovable mother.

My brother is Arjun P Ravi, who currently recieved a job in KSFE. We only have an age difference of 3 years and we used to play and grow together. He is a man who have a routine and maintains the same. At times I feels like he is a reservoir of knowledge.
