Blog it forward – Jagathshree Iyer

Dear all! 🙂

First of all, I thank Jitendra Kansal who blog forwarded me through Blog It Forward – Jitendra Kansal. This is Jagathshree and I am writing my first blog ever 😉   It is an honor that I have begun it in such a wonderful space and my thanks to SCN 😳 .

About myself:

Well, people usually find my name difficult to pronounce, so I am used to being called by different nick names ( Jag, Jagath, Jaggy etc., 😆 ). And as you can see that my blog already has so many smileys, I am a cheerful and a jovial person. After completing my schooling in different states in India, I completed B.Tech from Hindustan University, Chennai in 2012. I was waiting for my joining in an IT giant in 2012, when I got selected in Globalsoft Solutions, an SAP consultancy firm in Chennai. Thus, here I am, into the world of SAP 🙂 and I consider myself very fortunate 😳 . Currently, I am working in CRM domain.

My mother India:

Though there are plenty of things to talk about my nation, some key facts are:

• The Balaji temple, Tirupathi, is the busiest pilgrimage centers in the world
• India has the most number of vegetarians in the world.
• 1961 census recognized 1652 individual mother tongues in India.

        According to the most recent census, 29 languages have more than a million native speakers,

        60 have more than 100,000, 122 have more than 10,000.

• Rakshabandan is a unique festival when a sister ties a rakhi or holy thread – a colorful band on her brother’s wrist,

        while, through a gift, the brother vows to look after her .

• Cow is considered as a sacred animal and is worshiped.

My native – Chennai city:

Chennai is the capital of Tamil Nadu, the fourth most populous metropolitan city in India and 31st largest urban area in the world.

Some of the noted features:

1. Marina Beach:

A natural urban beach along the Bay of Bengal, Marina is the world’s second longest of its kind.

People usually enjoy having hot snacks called ‘Bhajji’ here.

2. Kathipara Flyover:

It is a major landmark in Chennai and also the largest cloverleaf flyover in Asia.

3. Guindy National Park:

It is one of the few national parks situated inside a city

In response to questions posed by Jitendra Kansal 🙂

1. What makes me smile/laugh?

I smile the moment somebody does or when some one merely holds a camera in front of me 😛 😉

2. Had I not been in software, where would I have been?

In a school, wearing a saree and teaching Maths and English 🙂

3. What is the craziest thing that I would have done in my life?

I do not know if it is the craziest. But I still cherish this incident 😆

When I was five years old, I had taken part in a fancy dress competition in school for annual day celebrations and I had chosen to be a doctor.

My parents had taught me a few lines to speak which I had rehearsed for days. That day, I boarded the stage and introduced myself boldly.

But suddenly, I started singing a devotional song on Lord Krishna, for no reason. The entire crowd began to laugh and I thought they were cheering me 😆

Probably, that day proved that I would never be a doctor in my life 😛 though I still sing 😉

Answers to a few general questions:

Who inspires me the most?

Any new thing that enters my life, motivates and inspires me !
