Anand Mahadevan's Page

Welcome to my home page.

Me,Myself and I

I work for a living (Ok, Ok, so originality is not my strong suite). I develop software here in Burlington, NC at LabCorp . I used to work for Wipro in Bangalore and then for Globalcase Technologies Inc in Minneapolis before moving to NC

My Family Do be warned that mine is a not an exciting family

Schools and stuff Where did I study? What did I study (not much!)

What else?

Individual home pages tend to follow a pattern, don't they? They have information about the author of the page (which I have already taken care of) followed by a list of his/her likes in terms of books, films and so on and lastly links to their favourite pages all of which is usually interspersed with graphics or cartoons.

Those with mucho time on their hands have multiple pages with more or less the same kind of info.

This seems to be a sensible approach and so here goes.

My Likes

I try my hand at crosswords, catch up on my reading, and listen to music.

Umm... What else do I like?

I follow sports a lot.I have expatiated on sports here

I have a liking for words and the English language

Other than English, Malayalam also interests me. It has the "distinction" of being one of the longest palindromes listed in the Guinness book of records.

The site on Kerala used to be a good place to go for more info on Malayalam.

The site has changed since its early days and I don't think I like it as much. There are any number of sites these days with all the variations possible, keralam.org, keralam.com, kerala.com all of which claim to be the 'only' website for something or the other

Movies. Yes, I watch a fair number of them and I have dedicated yet another page (What the heck, Tripod gives me 50M, I have yet to use 5)to a list of the movies I have watched recently and my all time favorites (my current all time favorites!)

Photography I have pretensions to being a photographer (as opposed to a 'point and shooter'). Take a look here for some of my pictures that I think are worth 'publishing' The only problem is I have seen them so often myself, they don't look remotely nice to me. But they used to.

What I think

And I have not left out my views on things around me.

Links

And finally for the inevitable links. Links to some friends' sites and other pages I find interesting.

A couple of names in Malayalam, you need malayalam fonts to see this
