Hello and welcome to this page. First off, let me thank Angelfire
for providing this page for free. I was born in the beautiful garden city of Bangalore
in India
and spent a very idyllic childhood at St Anthony's Boys' School
and later at St Joseph's Boys' High School
. From there, I "jumped the wall" into St Joseph's College where I completed my BA in Economics and History in 1969. It was at this time that I went into Drama and Theatre work quite enthusiastically and co-founded the Zodiac Drama Group and played drums for a swinging beat group called "The Dinosaurs"
. I began my work life at British India Tobacco Corporation in Guntur and in 1972, I moved to Mussoorie
in the foot-hills of the mighty Himalayan mountains
to teach at Hampton Court School. In 1977, I shifted to Baroda
to do a B Ed degree and then an M Ed degree. Finding that I did enjoy the academic life, I did a Ph D in Educational Management; my doctorate being on Achievement Motivation levels and Managerial Styles among managers from Industrial and Educational sectors. I also lectured at The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda
from 1986 to 1994 when my wife, Loretta and I shifted to Australia
I now work at Charles Sturt University
in Albury
where I am the Academic Development Officer.
I also lecture to MBA students on Global Business Communication.
