Recently, I read a request for the loan of an Indian Flag as someone wanted to take it to the North Pole.
As Atul had brought 2 Indian Flags during his last visit to India, I asked him to loan it to this guy.
Venkat is part of a pair of identical twins from Hyderabad. His twin (Lakshman) is a cosmetic skin care scientist working in Denmark since 2001. Venkat came to Finland in 2003.
The only difference is that they have chosen different fields in their career paths. Venkat is into engineering and Lakshman is into microbiology.
They both talk, look, walk, eat, travel..the same.
Their main hobbies are travelling....around the globe in their free time.
These three photos taken when they took the flag from Oulu at the northernmost land point in Norway (Svalbard) prove that these two boys are identical.

Thank you boys for carrying the flag from Oulu to the North Pole. And a special thanks to Atul for his generosity!
Annikki and Jacob Matthan live in Oulu, Finland. Annikki is a Finn, Jacob an Indian. They are the founders of the Findians Movement way back in 1967. Both are now retired. They have been married for 57 years. This blog is an account of their lives and thoughts as reminiscenced through Annikki's and Jacob's eyes.
Many thanks for this appreciation! But I was only assisting and am more than happy to see proud Indians waving Indian flag. I feel glad I could help. But the real credit goes to Venkat and his brother for carrying it alongwith them all the way and also to Jacob who organised the transfer for the flag. :)
