I  was very interested in cultural activities from a very young age. I  vividly remember my first stage program even  now. I think  I was 4 years at that time. The desire and delight to participate in  stage programs was probably precipitated from my parents' continued interest in that field. I did acting, radio broadcasting and writing stories.
With the grace of god , I won many prizes in speech contests and debates. I enjoyed announcing in my college programs.

My brother too is a very good artist. he has multiple talents such as writing poems and acting . He gave me lot of support in my cultural activities. We together produced a lot of programs. Our historical dramas were a huge success at college days.

Here  I  have listed some of the activities  I did  just to look back and refresh those happy memories.

     CHRISTMAS APPEAL FOR  OUR PEOPLE - RADIOTHON '98
           On 1998 Dec 25th  we produced a one hour radio programme on behalf of Colombo Hindu College Old boys (Australia) for fund raising to our tamil people who have been on the brink of death in Srilanka following the massive exodus from their Tamil homeland and left with no supply of food and medicine by the inhuman and imperial Srilankan government.

             Our programme was broadcasted all over Australia and was hailed by the Tamil community as one of the best Tamil programmes  broadcasted  in the recent past in  sincerely depicting the sufferings of our  tamil people.
