Born in Nairobi in 1951 I attended Juja Road Primary School until 1963 and the ESS until 1967. I was not the brightest of the boys so was slotted in Form 1D. I made steady unassuming progress, ending in Form 4D to get slapped around by Master Hashmi, who willingly obliged. However, like most if you, I still have fond memories of my schooling days.

I migrated to the UK in 1968. I had to take up work at the expense of further study, thank God! I am, however, trying to make up for it now by doing an Open University Course in Humanities. Career wise, I have been lucky. After a lengthy period with Bank of America, I joined the Stock Exchange and then Schenker International where I was IT Manager for 10 years. I now work independently as IT Consultant.

I am married, with 4 now almost grown up boys. I am heavily involved in hockey at the Indian Gymkhana Club, as a coach and administrator only. Hockey and cricket playing days are long past. However, I still play squash and tennis when I can find the time.
