—About our writer: Trixie Asirvatham says, "I'm a mother of two web designers and grandmother of two little boys, Tarun and Varun. My daughters got me interested in writing content for the web, so my 24 years as a copywriter in the advertising business is now being put to a different use! I like researching and browsing on the Web - it's fun! I enjoy reading and writing, but not 'rithmetic!"
