About his Family

As with any other person my family background and upbringing has influenced my development a lot. I come from a very liberal and highly educated family. My mother has a Post-Graduate degree in Medieval History from Allahabad University. She has been a housewife and my principal tutor all her married life. My father has a Doctorate from the Department of Geology at BHU Varanasi. He is currently working in ONGC as Executive Director and is heading the Geology Laboratories. They are my best friends. My parents are very loving sincere honest and broad-minded individuals and have strived to inculcate similar qualities in me. With the grace of god my parents and I are reasonably well off financially. We are practicing Hindus. While we are gujaratis, I and my parents were all born and brought up in North India. I was brought up in Dehradun and Bombay, with both cities influencing me deeply.
