If a nation were to mean “Unity in diversity”
Then India would be that land,
But if you want them all under one roof,
Then Tharavad is your merry-band.
- A.M Menon in “An Ode to Tharavad”(2001)
Meet the people who made a ‘Tharavad’ out of an old house...

The entrepreneur among the Tharavadiz, Ajith is at the helm of WinWinComputers, a systems solution provider based in his home town of Pala. A distinguished photographer, Ajith has an enviable gallery of snaps and is an astute student of light-and -shade photography. |

"Buddy" as he is commonly called.. is a class of his own. Hidden under his cute smile , is a man who knows what he does . He leaves a trail of the Classic Anand touch wherever he goes whatever he does Dont be simply good .. be the best ,thats buddy. |

The Tharavadi from Kayamkulam, Aneesh is different. His desire to try out everything in life has helped the Tharavadiz learn so much more about things that they wouldnt otherwise have had a hope of knowing. Be it chess or martial-arts, square-cuts or plain-guts he knows ‘em all. |

The one Tharavadi who saves Tharavadiz’ the ignominy of not having contributed to the world of art. Biju’s renditions on the violin are a part of the UCET folk-lore. He is also famous for his instant cartoons during class-hours. |
|
|
Dipu is as rare as his grip on the cricket bat. It is not often that one gets to meet people who defy description. Dipu is one such Tharavadi. |
|
|
Ginto Cherian - The Man, The Machine. One Tharavadi who combines the power and efficiency of a Machine with the gentler qualities that make a Man. Undoubtedly, a gem of a Man-Machine! |
|
|
If grasping the essence of an issue were an art then Hari is Tharavad’s Beethoven. Be it a technical concept, a political issue or a Sardar joke Hari is the first to extract the matter and lay it open for other mere mortals to comprehend. |
|
|
The most loved Tharavadi of all times, Jagan is the gaming-freak. He’s out-scored Ronaldo, butchered McGrath and slain all the monsters and aliens that ever roamed cyber-space. From LANs to fishing-nets, if it is a network, then Jagan’s interested. |
|
|
Iqbal is Tharavad’s mascot, talisman and doppleganger all-in-one. He cracks puzzles faster than Shakuntala Devi can devise them. The much respected comerade is an avid political debator too . |
|
|
The very heart and soul of Tharavad. The zeal with which Prasheen applies himself to keep Tharavadiz abreast with the latest in the world of IT would put a missionary to shame. He also occupies the post of resident expert in Bollywood/Kollywood affairs. |
|
|
Samji is Tharavad’s genious with the commoner’s touch. This exceptionally gifted Tharavadi holds exclusive ownership to above 80% of marks scored by all Tharavadiz in all exams ever attempted. A gain to the Indian Aeronautics industry but forever a loss to education. |
|
|
The man from Trivandrum is a go-getter, albeit, with his customary formula for success and anyone unwise enough to try it without a prescription has met with doom, but not so Sojish. His cheerfulness and sheer optimism has weathered many a storm for the Tharavadiz. Inspiration, thy name is Sojish... |
|
|
If ever there was a genious in UCET it was this man from Tharavad. Prasath is the cool eGuru from Munnar. His devotion to programming is so un-paralleled that it once provoked a class-mate to comment that even his love-letters would compile without error! |
