My wife Manjusha and my daughter Sridevi, who tolerates me when am out in the forests during weekends leaving them alone; My mom who manages my relatives when am absent for occasions and pray for my safe return from every wildlife trip; My friends who listens to my creepy yukky boring frog & snake tales; My manager Murali who encourages and motivates me always with a great understanding; and above all, my company Cisco Systems which enabled me with a life style where I can manage my professional work as well as my passion and personal life.
