Born as son of Haji.M. Ahmed master and Mrs Mammathutty Kannatty on 30May, 1973 as their 15th child. Completed the lower primary school (Ist -4th standard education) at AMLP School Maylappuram in1982, then temporarily joined in Malappuram Govt.Model High School for Upper Primary education (i.e. 5th-7th standard). But due to the every-alternate-day strike and some other reasons I forced to change the school and joined in AUP School which widely known as Nambission's School in Malappuram. From there I won the LSS scholarship award when I was in 7th standard. After completion I joined in PMSA Memorial High School in Chemmankadavu(Kodoor) in1985. I have passed SSLC examination with a first class from the school in 1988. During my study there, the remarkable personality I ever found was, Mr. Alikkutty , our class teacher, who himself taught us as his own kids. As a result of that his kids bagged 12 first class out 14 in the whole school.
When I completed my study in the school, it was in fact a lost, I applied for Pre-Degree Course under Calicut University. I got selection in Malappuram Govt. College, Malappuram . I have selected the Science Group by thinking to be a doctor in the future. While I was in Zoology laboratory dissecting frog and cockroach, I found myself in a difficult situation that if those are human beings. I have completed Pre-Degree in 1990 with second class, then I joined in MES Mamapad College for my graduation. I got admission for B.Sc(Chemistry). While in the campus what was there in mind was 'How to become a hero in campus'. I was actively participating in the politics and other campus related activities rarely attending the classes. There is a question arises 'How I got the required attendance'. The answer is simple 'The lecturer who is in charge of the attendance was our friend who in turn mark that we were present at all classes'. But, whatever I had done in the Campus it was something else when it came to fact, I mean as far as study concerned I had studied at my level best and as a result of that I could score 65% mark in public examination.
Upon completion of my Bachelor Degree, my intention was to apply for MBA course either in Kerala or neighboring states. The latter was impossible due the reason that the classes in Karanataka, Tamilnadu and Andra Pradesh Universities and management institutions had been started before our results published. Second choice was to appear for the combined entrance test for MBA at different universities in Kerala. I appeared for the examination and called for the interview and group discussion which had been held in Ernakulam (Cochin University of Science & Technology). My selection for the interview & group discussion was under Muslim minority quota. The professor who is in charge of the interview told me to produce the relevant certificates which I produced before him. He then said I should produce the certificate with the stamp of the village office( Here I have to tell something, The Village officer when he issued the certificates told me that there is no round stamp of the office which was not given to the office by the revenue department, I told him that I will buy one for him but he refused by saying that there are certain procedures to be followed). He said I should produce them before 4p.m and group discussion finished at 12p.m. Now it is the time for interview. Where is the time to go to Malappuram from Eranakulam (that time it was taking about 5 hours) to fetch a certificate?. What guarantee is there that I will definitely get a certificate from the same village office where there is no round-stamp. AS a result I lost the chance. There is no hope in getting admission on the basis of merit. Hence I decided to join in outside Kerala, for which I had to wait another 9months. Rather sitting at home I just joined for travel and tourism course in SATM, Calicut (4months duration). The tutor MR. Joseph, who later joined in East West Travel, after seeing my performance encouraged me to sit for IATA Standard Diploma Course for which I appeared in September1993 and passed. After appeared for the examination I applied for a job at Jaihind Tours and Travels as Sales executive. My duty was focusing travel agents in Malabar especially Malappuram, Calicut and Kannur districts and get business from them. It was very hectic traveling from morning till evening by bus. Since it was the first job I received in my life, I take it as a challenge. The Salary they offered me was INR750 which was not enough to pay transportation charge incurred Malappuram to Calicut and back. But to get some work experience I bore it. Soon after joined there, approximately 1½ month later, I got the good news which I was expecting. Yes, I passed the IATA course. Immediately I went to my boss and told him that I received my diploma and wanted to sit in the office to do ticketing and reservation. He refused and told me there is no vacancy in the counter. I resigned. After three weeks I got another job in GulfLand Travels in Calicut as Reservation Agent in the International Counter. During that period I had appeared for an interview in Bangalore by Mr. V.Mohd Ali of Attar Travel , Saudi Arabia for the post of Junior reservation Staff. Meantime my brother had arranged a visa for me to go to Jeddah (it was so-called 'free visa'). One day, while I was in the office, I received a call from home by my brother AbdulRaheem that a selection letter from the Attar Travel has been arrived there I should report in Bombay within a week. At that I was in a dilemma that my passport already in Mumbai to stamp the visa which had been arranged by my brother Mr. Abdunnaser, with which I have to find a job where as the Attar Travel's one is with a job. Immediately I called up Tahira Travels, Mumbai who was the agent of the first visa and asked them to pull back the passport and send it back to me. Next week I traveled to Mumbai to submit my passport in Zaireen Travel who was the agent of Attar. Zaireen told me that they would contact me immediately after processing. I got the message within a month on 16Sep. 1995 from them to travel on 18Sep 1995to Mumbai to take my Passport and ticket then proceed to Dhahran. While was in Mumbai, I had to wait one week there due all the flights full.
I said good-bye to India on 25September, 1995and when I arrived in Dhahran, my brother Bawa (Mohideen Yusuf) was there to receive me at the airport. On the 26th I reported at the work. First 5days I was in the hotel provided by the company, then I found a temporary accommodation. After 3-4 weeks we (yes, there were two, me and my colleague Rajesh) were accepted in the KIG (Kerala Islamic Group) accommodation. It was a turning point in the way of my life. Until arrived there I was leaving as I like. I never allowed anybody to control my life. From there I learned what reason I am leaving and what are my duties in this world and so on. After a long break I started offer prayers and all worships to the God, the Superior power.
The new job was interested, my designation was Junior reservation and ticketing agent. When I started my work there I was zero, yes fluency in English was below average, computer literacy was average, team work was below average, and so on. I started improving myself, frankly speaking it was an Herculean task. During the lunch break, I used to spent my time at the office to learn more about the Galileo, Sabre and Kuwait Airways Systems. On 3rd of Feb I had to move to Jubail Office of Attar as per the request of the manager there. Three days later Mr. Ramdas, the then Regional Manager of Easter Province came there and taken me back to Alkhobar and told me to sit at the Cyprus Airways reservation & ticketing desk. My colleague was Mr. Samsheer Cottar from Mumbai. Soon after we got a deal from Bahrain to issue tickets for their a client from Sydney. Which had been started by Mr. Manzour Khan then transferred to me. More than 5000 tickets had been issued and sent to Sydney for those people who migrate from HongKong to Australia and States, due the HongKong become the China's property. Anyhow, due this work, I got an increment from the Company, it was my first.
My marriage was on 12 September, 1996. As per Prophet Mohd(PBUH), I became a complete man since I got the second half. She had completed her TTC (Teachers Training Course) and planning to join in any of the nearby schools. Our son born on 26April, 1998, his name is Roshan (meaning is 'light').

I had been promoted as Manager, Cyprus Airways -GSA in Jeddah effective 15August 1998 and moved on 13 August to Jeddah. I have completed successful two years in the same position.
During my spare time, I would like to spend them with my family and trying to find people and call them into the way of Islam irrespective of Muslims and non-Muslims since I am a volunteer of Jama'at-e-Islami Hind. It is the duty of every Muslim brother to call his brother to Islam and ask him obey the rules and regulations of the God who created him and the whole universe. I am interested in computers especially surfing through the Internet to find useful Information.
