	I am Unnikrishnan (friends call me Unni) from Puthur, a small village near the famous Guruvayur temple. I was born on September 11; well I was born much before 2001. Currently I work for Verizon Business in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Nisha complains that she is my second wife and the first one is my computer. My hobbies, family and job keep me a bit busy but I like it that way.
My life changed in 1982 when I got selected to Sainik School Trivandrum. I was a short, dark boy from a malayalam medium school, who answered all questions just YES & NO (because english was a foreign language). The life in sainik school was not easy with ragging and homesickness but thanks to my teachers and friends, they made me what I am today.
	My late father C. Kochunny Kurup (army ex-service man) after working in gulf decided to settle in my native place. My mother P.Rathna Bhavani Amma, is a housewife. My only brother (Nandakumar, 5 yrs younger to me), who followed my father in the treasure hunt, is now in Bahrain.
Like everyone else at sainik school, I also had a dream, the National defence Academy at Pune. But it remained a dream when my performance at service selection board didn't match their requirements. I joined BSc (Physics) at St. Thomas College Trichur and I was active in the National Cadet Corps (NCC). I did pretty well attending the RD Parade and Marching contingent and the Foreign Youth Exchange Program (YEP). The life in NCC made me realize that there is a promising world, outside my defence dreams. After my degree I joined Master of Computer Applications (MCA) at Govt. Engineering College Trichur and I had something to remember in my whole life, the first rank for the course.
	In 1996 while I was in Bangalore searching for my course project I met Nisha. I was surprised to know that she was from the same college where I did my MCA. Oh well, I was always a nice guy and never looked at girls :-) It didn't take too long to notice the similarities within us and later, on 26 Oct 1998 we started a project together, "Our Life".
My first job was with Information Management Resources (imrGlobal Corp, now merged with CGI Group). I worked in Advanced Technology Group (Research & Development Division) at Bangalore and then moved to Clearwater, Florida. Later I decided to leave R&D and join their professional services. As a result I moved to Phoenix and Rochester NY. In 2000 I left IMR and joined Compuware in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We both liked this place and decided to make it our HOME. This decision helped me to do my MBA in project management at the Colorado Technical University here.
	My hobbies include mountain biking, hiking, camping, video editing and working on the computer. I own a trek liquid and love to go cross country biking during the weekends. I design and develop webpages too (www.cosindia.com is my creation). I stopped the hobby fishing when I found the fishes smarter. I am extensively involved in the Colorado Springs Diwali program. I am also a student pilot at Meadow lake airport and a member of the EAA chapter.
