to my Web site!

In case you are wondering what "Appada" means - that's what my daughter Pallavi or Payyida calls me for Dad in Tamil and "Appada" also means a sigh of relief, in Tamil of course ( that this web site finally looks like being published).Now we have a new one "Bapu" from Murali which also means the same.

Let me introduce my small family  - firstly there is my beautiful wife Anu and then there is the apple of my eye which is my 5 year old daughter Pallavi and now there is Murali who is obviously Anu's favourite. You will read a lot about them and see them in the pages to follow.

So come on in and browse around to get to know us better. If you are someone we do not know, here's your chance to get to know an Indian family settled in Melbourne, Australia. Quite a few things have happened since we last updated this site - (we have bought a new house and a new car -Anu says the car is my first wife),so come on in and meet us in our new home.

Before you start browsing, there is one small thing we must tell you (which you will probably figure out yourself)- we thought it would be best for Anu to write about me in Madan's page .  The photos have been made into thumbnails and can be enlarged by clicking on them.

Anu and I have been married for 10 years now
