Humblest of humble beginnings from India
Getting serious, Srinivasan said, "The overriding sensation that I feel today in a sense is of how incredibly fortunate I’ve been so far -- and I can't emphasise that more."
"This kind of occasion happens and this opportunity came along, thanks to the decision my parents made a long, long time ago," he said, recalling how his father "came from the humblest of humble beginnings from India."
He said, "The journey that took him from there to this country and took us all to this occasion is virtually inconceivable. He and my mom, brought me and Srija and Srinija at a very early age in search of the classic immigrant dream -- in pursuit of opportunity and happiness… I'd like to think that those aspirations have been, very much been realised."
