Ekalavya
The word “oxymoron” represents a conjunction of two words apparently contradicting each other.
A L Visweswaran (ALV), whose pseudonym is Ekalavya, moulds into this word comfortably. A talented misfit, often ridiculously sublime, an eternal 12th man without rancor, all with a humility which rejoices in self-flagellation, aptly describe his persona.

The word “oxymoron” represents a conjunction of two words apparently contradicting each other.
A L Visweswaran (ALV), whose pseudonym is Ekalavya, moulds into this word comfortably. A talented misfit, often ridiculously sublime, an eternal 12th man without rancor, all with a humility which rejoices in self-flagellation, aptly describe his persona.
He headed a regional office of a corporate group for over fifteen years as the 12th man. All company representatives reported directly to their respective companies. He took blame for all their failures, and ceded credit to them for any success. Tata’s shenanigans of today, or the coalition headed by Vajpayee with ministers reporting to their party heads, perhaps, bolster the need for this 12th man!
To kill ennui, he started an office magazine, got into writing a blog and printed a book for his family titled Jignyaasaa. This book is his first attempt at publishing.
He is a graduate in Chemistry, is on the threshold of 70, and a resident of Delhi since birth, save some brief interregnums. His wife, Geetha, and son, Umesh, live with him.
His interests include astrology and music, where he feels happy to be a 12th man; the pseudonym “Ekalavya” aptly befitting this description.
