This 21 year old lad is a native of Cochin, Kerala. A very down- to-earth and no-nonsense guy. Needless to say, he is happiest when he is playing a tune or two on his violin.

Working his magic on the violin has enabled him to win first prize with A grade for five consecutive years in String Western (Violin) in the Mahatma Gandhi University Youth Festival for the years - 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. Hmmm...talk about excellent quality, consistent performance...sheer brilliance, what else?!!

Recognizing the efforts of this youngster the Archdiocese of Verapoly, Cochin bestowed on him the 'Youva Prathiba' Award ( 26-01-2002). He has also been the proud recipient of many more regional awards from various social and religious institutions.
