I was born in the beautiful Southern Indian State of Kerala.
I went to college in a quaint town called Pilani in the State of Rajasthan, India.
During my early graduate studies I lived in Bangalore, also known as the Garden City, and Rochester which I call Snow City!
The Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence Research at Ohio State, headed by the person affectionately known as Chandra, was an ideal setting to face the trials and tribulations of PhD, momentarily interrupted by a summer sojourn to a surprisingly green and hilly city in the lone star state to work on that ambitious AI project known as Cyc under the watchful eye of Doug Lenat.
The Hitachi Advanced Research Laboratory in a little town called Hatoyama outside Tokyo turned out to be even better - where else could one ponder about diagrammatic reasoning while watching the brilliant crimsons of Japanese maples and imbibing sake?
Knowledge Systems Laboratory at Stanford, Palo Alto, the place for artificial intelligencia!
EduTech Institute, where I learned about pedagogy, ethnography, assessment, and just about everything else about education that they don't teach you while getting a computer science education.
And finally, Auburn, "the loveliest village on the plains" as they say...with a temporary detour, that stretched to nearly two years, to savor the big city pleasures of la capitale.
