Well! Here you are at my homepage!! I dunno how you got in here but hope you'll have a great time exploring. This homepage aims at letting you know a little about me and focusing attention on the One who gives me a million reasons to smile every day - JESUS CHRIST!! 
Ever realized that you know the least about yourself? Trust me - it's true! I'll leave you with the bare minimum about myself
Full name: Benjamin Jeyanth Ross
You can call me: Benji, Jeyanth, Boonjax, BJR, ..
Date of birth: 12th October 1976
Educational Status: Great guys become docs!! I graduated out of  the Christian Medical College in Vellore India. The millennium  thus sees me as a full fledged doc! (Sounds scary eh!!) . Presently I have finished my DCH  in Pediatrics and am a full-fledged Paediatrician......and as if that weren't enough I'm now doing an MD in Pediatrics -  poor kids!!!
Motto in life: Just Do It [courtesy, Nike]
Hobbies: Music, guitaring, basketball, building castles in the air, sleeping in class, drumming. Even tried body-building! Note that all the above may not qualify as 'hobbies'.
My inspiration: JESUS CHRIST!
My dream: Look like Arnold Schwarznegger (Right now my waist size matches his biceps ) , sing like John Schlitt (of Petra) .. Getting more serious, I'd like to be a good, responsible doctor. I'm interested in working in a good Hospital and serving Jesus.
My future:  I plan to complete further postgraduate studies in Pediatrics, marry and  RETIRE preferably in that order!((((((Now, I may have missed some parts in-between!))))). 

What(or rather who) makes my life so exciting is a person called Jesus.  Jesus Rocks!! If you haven't met Him as yet, plunge right into this site and you'll find out what you're missing!.

My Family

I live with my parents in the city of Chennai (the new term for Madras) in Tamilnadu, South India.
My Dad is presently retired and simply helps people who ask for his help. He's an engineer and a computer whiz with plenty of spare time.

My Mom does not work, but is always busy at home. I love scooting home on some weekends to eat the wonderful food she cooks and getting pampered!!

I have an elder brother and a younger sister.... and the family just gets bigger as they are both married!

My brother, Arun has finished his B.E(honors) -Computer Science and his M.S. at the Michigan State University in the US of A! He's completed a Ph.D. at MSU. He's gonna laugh when he sees my html-java-illiterate homepage. Check him out. , He's a cool guy. He's a very organized chap, plays the guitar and is an ardent music fan. He's academically brilliant - just run a google search on his name (Arun Ross) and get amazed.
He's married to Lisa and they have 2 kids - cute, naughty Joel born in May 2003 and Luke who came into the world in  December 2004!

My LITTLE sister  Sheba is is an architect and finished  her B. Arch(Bachelor of Architecture) degree course at the Anna University in Madras. She then did MUD in the US (Master of Urban Design) and works in Atlanta. She's got awesome talents she's got a beautiful voice, is extremely good at drawing and stuff and is a hard worker. She also has a cute ponytail that I love to gently tug. So much for the simpler pleasures in life!!
December 2004 saw her getting married to Jitto.

So what is a guy like me doing in the middle of talented siblings? I dunno!! My bro took away the brains and neatness. My sister took away all the music and artistic talents. They split the good looks and the ability to 'think'. So here I am, with this freak sense of humor (which MAY become apparent as I update my homepage). These are my closest friends and I owe a lot to each of them.

Someday I'll put in a photo album with all their pics - till then!

I Hate These...

Some things in life turn me off and they include the following:
Cigarettes, booze and drugs: I don't understand why people want to commit suicide.
Violence: It kills!
Waking up on a cold morning: I prefer cuddling up in my warm bed.
Golf: It's so slow and takes up so much time on ESPN.
Spiders: The SPCA may{?} support them but I hate them scuttling around my room.
Corruption: Do I need a reason to hate it?
