This is the page where I'll describe myself in more details. Get ready for more yawning!

 

I was born and bred in Leicester from 31st July 1981. I still live in Leicester all my life, although I was living away from home for 3 years while I was in Loughborough University. It was a unique experience living away from home because I had loadsa freedom and experience different kinds of cultures down there.

I have a big extended family but I will talk about my own family here. My father's name is Prabhudas Jivan Laad or P.J. He is originally from a town called Tundi in India. My mother's name is Laxmiben and she came from Uganda. I have 2 older sisters. Rita is 32 years old and is deaf. Chandi is 30 and she got married with Sukh in 2002. Now she living far as possible from me in Hertfordshire and I miss her terribly!!

I am now profoundly deaf and wear a hearing aid.  I used to be severely deaf but a sudden hearing loss changed my whole life. To find out more and me being deaf and in general, click here.
 
As a person, I am very active and I cant rest in one place. This is why I enjoy all kind of sports. It enables me to meet new people or old friends. At the moment, I play for our community cricket team called S.P.A . Also I am a member of (DUKA) Deaf UK Athletics. My personal aim to represent GB in future Championships. Others sports I regularly play is Football, Tennis, Cycling, Snooker and Pool.....(gasping for breath!)

Talking about football (soccer for you guys overseas), I am die-hard fan of Leicester City and England!! Even though my parent is from India, I support England with my heart.  Even with cricket, rugby or hockey, I will always hope England will win.  If England loses, the most likely reason is that the opposition always cheated!!!
 
Despite being born and brought up in the UK, I still very much respect and preserve the customs, values and traditions of our culture. I respect the faith I was born in to even though I may not practice it as much as an avid Hindu, I do take part in many religious festivals and events.
 
 
I graduated from university.....even at the age of 20!!  I had some quality times during my stay at  university campus and I will never forget them. At once or twice, I was very depressed because of few bad lucks I had for example I was due to start in August 2001for work placement for my year out.  I was all packed and ready.  I found a house and bought a bike....maybe a "dream" car later.   Then a bad news came just three days before I was due to start my job.  The company  rang me and told me they wont able to take me on because they lost a major contract and was unable to keep me on. I was shocked and really worried.  To cut a long story.....I was forced to study my final year in university and achieved a degree of 2.2 although I was 0.5% away from getting 2.1!!  Anyway, someone once told me that if I get through this bad times, I will be a stronger person in the end.
 
 
Right now, after taking a IT Course, I been working for HSBC in Chargebacks department.  I started working there on May 2004 and it been enjoyable working with people.....(wierdos) and facing challenges and most importantly learning about the finances!
