The young Murari went to UK to study electronics engineering and later switched to History and Political Science at McGill University at Montreal. Murari married Maureen Hudson, an Australian. After long time the couple returned to Chennai  from New York where they had lived for over ten years after they got married. Personal reasons made them move over to Chennai.
