Meet my family

A little introduction to my people at Thottupuram! My Pappa, Shaji T Kurian, is a businessman from Thalayolaparambu, and my Amma, Lisha Shaji, is a homemaker from the Kannampuzha family in Muringoor, Koratty. Then there’s my sister, Aleena Joseph — though you’ll hear our family and relatives calling her Ponnu. She went to school in Thalayolaparambu, completed her B.Sc. in Chemistry, and now works as a medical coder in Dubai.

Meet my family

Welcome to the Chakkalayil family — let me introduce you! My Pappa, Cyriac Varkey, has retired as Sheristadar from the Sub Court in Ernakulam. My Mummy, Reji Cyriac, is still working as Sheristadar at the CBI Court in Ernakulam. She’s from the Kalluvettamkuzhi family in Ettumanoor. And my brother, Jerin Cyriac — Jerry to us — is currently studying for his MBBS in Vladivostok, Russia.
