About Me - In general
I am 23 years old, having 175cm height, 75kg weight, and light brownish in complexion. I hope my body is sufficiently bulky to match my height. I would like to be called as 'Manu'. I look like 32 even though I am only 23. This may be due to the rough childhood, which I had. Compared to other children in my age group, I never found any spare time for playing or any other activities. In that period I had a hell lot of works to do for my family, which includes looking after the paddy fields, palm trees etc.

I was born in Kalavoor of Alappuzha district. At that time my father was working in Central Coir Research Institute, Kalavoor. When I was 4 years we shifted to my mother’s family house, which is situated at Kulasekharamangalam, a small village near Vaikom.

My Family
I do not belong to a rich family as such. We are basically farmers. Our religion belongs to "The Royal Silk-Dress Makers". Our family name is "Maliakkal" which is well known in our place. We have few acres of land and paddy fields, even though the earnings are very little.

My father has retired from Central Government service and now he is working as a Consultant with some Coir Exporting Companies to meet their requirements of bleaching, dyeing and printing of coir and coir products. My mother is a housewife. I have an elder sister and younger brother. Sister is married and she is living with her husband. My brother-in-low is a businessman. He has his own brick company. Brother is studying in 10th standard and he is a naughty fellow like me. Our grandmother is also staying with us and she is laid up in paralytic condition.

Hobbies - At a glance
I have a lot of hobbies. Not like everyone, anything and everything come under the preview of my hobby. Collections of coins and currencies of different countries, name slips, stickers, matchbox stickers, cigarette covers, bus tickets, pens, magnets, etc. etc. Now still I am keeping some of them, like Coins, Pens, Pencils, and Stamps. I never get enough time to participate in any sports activities but I love to play cricket even though I am not a good player. Nowadays I am utilizing my spare time to play caroms. I used to write poems in my late nights. Some of my poems are available on the net (http://www.manumohan.faithweb.com/poems.html). Riding motorbikes and cycling are also some of my hobbies.

Place History
Our place Vaikom is a joining point of three districts that is, Ernakulam, Kottayam and Alappuzha. Vaikom is in Kottayam District, and is situated about 40kms from Kottayam town, which is known as the "Land of Letters, Latex and Lakes". Vembanadu Lake is dividing it from Alappuzha while Poothotta Bridge from Ernakulam. It is a greenish place with lot of canals. In rainy season we used to catch fishes from this canals. One can see lot of coir spinning mills, operated by human machines, in our place. Vaikom gained prominence during the Indian freedom struggle, as it was the venue of the famous Satyagraha staged in 1925 for the admission of Harijans into this temple. At that time Mahatma Gandhi visited this place to encourage its participants. Vaikom town is located on the bank of the Vembanadu Lake and is famous for its Siva temple, which is one of the oldest Siva Temple in the world and is a prominent place of worship for Hindus all over India. The Ashtami festival is the main festival. Lot of pilgrims alights here to worship the 'Annadanaprabhu (Load Siva)'.

Friendships & Affairs
Now I don't have any love affairs in the best of my knowledge (not joking). A saying in Malayalam, which meant, "If you have a good friend, you don't even require a mirror". But alas! I don't have such a friend. I love to make friends and already have lot of friends. But they won't be available when I really need their help. I tried a lot in helping out my friends in their problems. But after that not only they will forget everything but also trying to cheat me. I can show you lot of situations, which I don't want to explain now.  But without considering the past results still I am trying to keep the habit of helping others. While helping I will get some kind of satisfaction and that is the one and only thing, which I am expecting from it.

Career Graph
After completing S.S.L.C. (Secondary School Leaving Certificate) in 1992 from Government High School Kulasekharamangalam, I joined N.S.S. College Cherthala for Pre-Degree. There I was an active NCC Cadet and got ‘B’ certificate. In 1994 I passed out from there. Because of the low percentage of marks in Pre-Degree, I decided to join for some technical courses. In 1994 August I joined A.I.C.T. Kaloor (Amrutha Institute Of Computer Technologies), for Diploma In Computer Programming and in August 1995 I completed my Diploma in Computer Programming with “A” grade.

At the age of 17, I started my professional life as a Programmer/Teaching Faculty in Microtech Kottayam. During the period of 1995-1997 I worked with companies like MicroMedia, Mevelloor and Hindustan Computers, Tripunithura. In September 1997 I went to Mumbai for a better carrier. There I joined Mona-Lisa Educational Research Foundation as a Senior Teaching Faculty. I learned a lot of things from Mumbai. Which will surely help me through out my life. Because of some personal reasons I returned to my motherland in July 1999.

When I was in Mumbai I got enough time to finish a course on Web Designing. Which helped me to find a job here. In July 1999 itself I joined Times Internet Club as an Internet faculty. In August I joined ShyamNet as a Web Designer. Then I worked Times Internet Club as a part time faculty. Because of the tough time schedules, I stopped the job at Times Internet Club. Now I am a happy employee at ShyamNet because of the working freedom and friendly working environment.

A Futuristic Vision
Like any other man I also have a lot of dreams or aims in my life. The first thing is my graduation. If your question is 'WHY?', you will get the answer with in a short reading. After finishing my BCA I will join for MCA. At that time I will start thinking about some business as my own. I like Web Designing, so I want to stick on this as long as possible. I also want to do some E-Commerce course, which has greater opportunities in the future job market. Before starting something as my own, I want to study each and every possibility, because starting some business needs a huge investment of money and efforts.

Why I Joined Bangalore University's BCA Through Aptech?
Before answering this question, I would like to explain about my past-studies. When I was working at Kottayam, I joined Kerala University's BCom. The study classes were conducted at Ernakulam. I found it very difficult to reach Ernakulam for study classes after finishing my job at Kottayam. Also it was very difficult for me to study Commerce after taking Mathematics as a main subject in College. So I dropped it.

After that I joined IGNOU's BCA. After giving application I went to Mumbai. After coming back I understood that IGNOU registration is cancelled. At that time I happened to see Aptech's advertisement for Bangalore University's BCA. I thought that Aptech's standard is very good even though their fees are very high. So I decided to join for BCA in Aptech.
