Guest guest Report post Posted July 22, 1994 Hi everyone, I recently added a Dr. Venkat Rao to our mailing list. Here are some words of introduction from him. Mani ------- start of forwarded message (RFC 934 encapsulation) ------- "Venkat V. Rao" <vrao Mani Varadarajan <mani> Re: Hello Thu, 21 Jul 1994 21:26:15 -0500 (CDT) In-<199407220141.SAA03390 Mani: Yes! I have started getting mail from the group. I am generally slow to start on anything. I must get to know first the trends and views and people before I add, comment, negate, confirm and do such things. This brings the subject of introducing myself to you all which I have been waiting to do. I am 76, retired more than once from professionalism and if anything, I am somewhat tired. The last job I had was teaching as an adjunct faculty member of the Dept.of Electrical and Communication Engineering at the University of Texas. I lead a relatively low-profile life along with my wife who is 68. Four children and 6 grand-children constitute my immediate family, all living their own life in different places. Vaishnavism is a special word for me and Ramanuja Ethiraj holds a special place in my heart. Most of my younger days were spent at or close to Srirangam and part of my family and friends still live there. In the past thirty and odd years I had lived abroad, that is one Kshetra I had visited in India far more times than any other place. I am a student of Srivaishnavism and a serious one at that. Give me time to think and say things sensible and if I must communicate, I shall do so. I enjoy reading everything that comes to me on the subject. I have special regard for Sudarshan Iyengar (siyengar) of Austin. I have learnt many things from my discussions with him. I am hoping to do so with you all in the group. My regards to everyone. venkat rao ------- end ------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
