Hello,
I am Balaji basically from Bangalore. Firstly I should thank God for if not
for HIS grace I would not have faulted on the web site created by Mani (an
excellent job though) and also Mr. V Sadagopan.
Now for a bit of myself. I did my Bachelors in Chemical Engg. From Bangalore
University and came to Australia to do my MS in Environmental Engineering.. I
graduated last Winter (June 99, well its winter in australia). And got a job
with the Government of Papua New Guinea (PNG), which is a neighbouring
country of Australia. Just couple of hrs flight from Brisbane, where I
studied. I worked with the government for 2 months before I got a job with
BHP Minerals and since then working in one of the mines in PNG. Guess what I
am the only Indian in the whole mine site. It is an interesting place to
work though. Cut off from the rest of the civilization, we get an average of
10 meters of rainfall every year. There is not a single day when it does not
rain. The only way out of this place is by the company’s charter plane. This
place is covered with dense tropical forest all round. We get to fly once in
nine weeks to Brisbane for a week. Well that is all about my self.
My parents are in Bangalore. Though my father is very religious (he goes for
all the vada parayanam and nalayira divya prabhandham and knows most of them
by-heart) I have not imbibed an iota of his knowledge. I do my regular
sandhyavandhanam and chant part of yajur veda and dsdika stotra and that’s
it. So you can guess how ignorant I am with respect to any knowledge about
HIM.
Regards
Balaji Bindinganavile
