His love affair with Cars really started when he was only 7-years old, soon after the family got its first Car, an imported (CBU) 'Austin-8' in 1948. By the time he was ten, he could manually crank this machine, start it and generally 'keep it warm' while his father was away on an extended postings, upon his instructions! Three cheers to his Dad (now 89!) for entrusting such a 'dangerous responsibility' to a kid as young as 10!!

During the last 35-years, SKG has either owned or helped maintain practically all makes of Indian Cars, including the present generation 'mpfi' ones. For starters, he owned and maintained one of the Country's first Mopeds, a 'Vicky/50cc' followed by a 'Jawa/250cc'. During his heydays he even got some 'over speeding' tickets riding his Jawa in the mid sixties, at the hands of the then ever vigilant Madras Traffic Police!

He excelled all the way in his chosen profession of Power Systems Control Engineering, starting as a Graduate Apprentice in 1963 with an MNC giant like 'English Electric' (now Alstom) and rising to be one of the All India Divisional Managers by 1980. By 1984, he switched tracks to eventually become VP (Projects) of a Rs: 200 crore green field Cement Plant, one of the first of its kind then in the Country. By 1992 he opted to 'Retire', after the Cement Plant successfully went on stream, to pursue the passions of his life - Domestic Appliances and Cars.

SKG has 'Essayed' several Automobile related Articles, which Cybersteering hopes to post one by one on its Web pages in near future. Amongst some other advisory assignments in the Auto-Servicing sector, he is also the present 'Autoguru' of Cybersteering.
