D.K. Ariyam
Hi, my name’s D.K. Ariyam and I was born in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. I’m currently living in the Providence, Rhode Island (U.S.) area.
education:
My first run-through at college, I graduated with a Computer Science degree. The second time around, a few years later, I went back for English Literature with a Writing Concentration. Right now, I’m in the graduate program in Literature, working towards an MA in the field.
work
Most of my works to-date have been expository essays on various works of classical literature. Some of these essay can be found here.
I have an online journal (I suppose you can call it a blog) of random and mundane– and sometimes serious — musings, all of which can be found here.

I don’t typically do terribly exciting things. I’ll go jogging if a friend asks me to, and if it’s nice out, and especially after a greasy meal because I feel fat. I don’t typically watch any TV (anymore). Reality TV has ruined TV for me. I really like Russian Literature, in particular, Tolstoy’s works, W&P and AK. Everytime I log in to mySpace, I become more saddened… like the that old dude from that book The Giver.
I have two siblings, two older, meaner, sisters. The’re not all that mean. I mean, there’s some mean, but it’s not like, solid, concentrated cruelty. Just a healthy sprinkling of mean. They probally have that “Esau-complex” thing. Just kidding, they are okay. I’m obviously taking some liberty on this page, because I don’t think they’ll ever read this.
I like to stay in shape. I can bench over 200lbs! and I only weigh 150lbs. That’s my one life bragging point, so shusch!
(other)
My inspiration and general good cheer are due to my Christian faith.
