Greetings, Swasti and Kia Ora. Welcome to my site.

I was born at my maternal grandfather's residence- a home birth. I am the youngest of six brothers and a sister. I am by far the youngest in my family, with two nephews and a niece older than me and a nephew and a niece my age. Those who know me would know that I live up to this image and that I am timeless and eternally youthful, in spirit at any rate.

I completed my schooling at New Plymouth Boys' High School in New Plymouth, as a boarding pupil and proceeded to Vicoria University of Wellington in Wellington and the University of Canterbury in Christchurch. My major was Economics.

Following that I spent a brief period of time overseas, working in the Maldives, before returning home to pursue my career as an educator. I currently work in the field of Information Communication Technology in Nelson.

I hope you would enjoy Majid's Pages and continue to return. Please drop me a line, or if I am online, do take advantage of the chat facility to exchange a few words with me.

I would like to relate a light-hearted remark that a long time neighbour of my family and schoolmate of my eldest brothers made when I first left home to attend boarding school at New Plymouth. "Abdul Majid", he said to me in his characteristic drawl and a twinkle in his eye, "there will be fast going girls and delicious drinks where you are going". I know he too attended boarding school, but not in New Plymouth. I attended a boy's school although there was a girls' school across an adjacent cemetery and a stream.

I am married to Antu, but she attended school half a world away in Buckinghamshire, England.
