About Me
|
I am Shivaraj Kandhasamy, one of the 6.6 billion citizens of this wonderful Earth. I was born in a small town called Chinnalaptti in the state of Tamilnadu, India, and grew up in the country smell of Chinnalapatti as well in midst of horn sounds of Bengaluru, the garden of city of India. From those childhood days, I can remember only two things; classrooms and playing fields (it never mattered to me whether I was in Chinnalaptti or in Bengaluru). Still running on those impulses, now I am at the University of Minnesota to learn the laws of nature, also known as Physics (and of course a little play too), hoping that one day I can leave my name in the books of science, or at least my initials! |
