To lead a happy life, it is important to have a happy family and the following are responsible for it. I met my wife Lakshmi in 1989 and got married to her in 1990. She has an MBA in Marketing. However, she has preferred to be the Manager of our home rather than do a conventional job. We have two sons - Saketh and Karthik. Saketh has won a Gold medal in Delhi state karate championship competition. He plays guitar pretty well and is part of a Delhi based band called Crystal Fire.
Saketh
is doing his Master's degree in Micro and Nano systems. Karthik is learning Hindustani vocal and is proficient in playing Guitar. Karthik too has won a Gold medal in Delhi state Karate championship competition in December 2011 and is now doing his first year Engineering. My parents are M. Ranga Rao and Jayaprada Devi. My father had retired in 1994 as a primary school teacher. My native place Mamidala is a small village where people know each other. My sister Sunita lives in Nalgonda and the other sister Gita lives in Hyderabad.

I like the following sayings:
"If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself; the dreams will come to you."
When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state. ______ Swami Vivekananda
Life is unfair. Sensible persons take what they get and find a way to work around it. They don't sulk in a corner.
--------Zhu Rongji (Chinese Premier)
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -- Eleanor Roosevelt
To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves ... let us be above such transparent egotism. -- Will Durant
One should realize that ideas are never new. However brilliant, every idea is always based on previous knowledge... --Andre K. Geim (2010 Nobel Prize winner for Physics on Graphene)
You too can positively impact our world. Be assured, it won’t be easy, and fame may never come your way, but the satisfaction gained from a life of creative work will be immense. ---- Lynn Conway; author (together with Mead) of the book - Introduction to VLSI Systems.
