Being a Mathematics post graduate and a Bank employee, he wanted to give the best foundation for his children. When I was a kid, he used to record mathematics multiplication tables and play them repeatedly in the tape recorder so that it gets memorised just like a song. He ensured we had the strongest foundation in health and education. He made us drink lots of Arugambul juice from young age which many people say is the reason for my tall height. He encouraged being active by taking us to beech every weekend for playing, took us to swimming classes which was an hour away and made us practice yoga from young age.
