group of happy kids playing tag game and running on green field outdoors

I was born in Chennai, one of the major cities in India. I grew up in the developing part of the city with my brother and parents. My mother stayed at home and looked after us. My father worked to support my family.

I remember seeing my father biking home from work looking tired. I used to play in the street with my friends and ran home before he saw me. He wanted me to study and would get angry if I played in the street.

My childhood is full of happy memories of good friends, school and fun. During my summer holidays I used to visit my grandmother. She lived in a village. It was beautiful with fields and small houses. I liked to play there with my cousins.

I finished school and worked a few small jobs and also helped my father at work. I completed a course as a Nursing Technician and started working in hospitals. I liked to work in the ICU and now I want to work in a hospital again. I met my wife in the hospital. We got married and came to Canada. We have two children. I love them very much and will sacrifice anything for them.

I work in Dollarama. I work here because I can look after my family. I can work at Dollarama when my wife is not working. This way we can both look after the children. They are three and one year old.

Thank you for helping me remember my childhood. They are good memories.
