Hi SAP Gurus,
I’m called Saraswati Ganesan Iyer officially, aka Sara G.
First of all I would like to thank my friend JAGATHSHREE IYER for inviting me to the BIF Family.
I wanted my BIF to be here after I get the PLATINUM badge. Today being our independence day there cant be any better day to post this BIF .
Discovery History of mine
I was born to an Army man serving "TheIncredible India" . As dad had a transferable job , fortunately , got to stay in almost all states in India. Different corners have different culture here. Every part in India feels mine to me, although my ancestral background is from 'namma' Chennai (T.N).

About Chennai JAGATHSHREE IYER (Jaggy) has already said enough in her Blog.

I actually get confused as to which place should I associate myself with . So, an ideal mixture of north and south India I would call myself. I was born In Jhansi (U.P) in a Military Hospital, then the journey of my life to the adventurous Indian states along with my dad, started.

Studies
I am a KV product . All my schooling was done in Kendriya Vidyalaya (Different States of course) till 12th.
My entry into SAP
Am Basically an Electrical & Electronics Engineer. Here in India most people become engineer then decide what career path they would be choosing same was with me as well. Hence, I dint go deep into the electrical field , since I knew the past 4 years for engineering left me with the Machines, Motors, generators, transformers,and the hot electrical labs. I was pretty sure, I dint want to spend my rest life with them.
I found about SAP. Asked to my seniors and relatives, they gave a BIG nod, and that was enough for me. Its been almost 3 years now with SAP. Within this time, one trip to Tech Ed Bangalore, which indeed was an unforgettable experience, made my contributions to SCN worth it. Learnt the technologies/updates which were yet to come in market. Met people , made friends, saw in person, who I have read comments of / blogs of in SCN.
Ravi Sankar Venna , Prakhar Saxena, Midhun VP , Amal Aloun, P. M. Dixie Darshini, jitendra kansal ,
Jansi Rani Murugesan, Nikhil Joy, Ravi Shankar
Got a chance to meet the Founder of SCN Mark Finnern& All the topic leaders of 2013.

Much into Adventure Sports and Sports, singing, hanging out with friends are my leisure time activities.
Trekking I love doing. Have Trekked a part of Himalayas (upto 11000ft) in Shimla , one of the wonderful places in India , I fortunately had stayed in the place for some 3 years. The most wonderful years in my 23 years.
Enjoyed para gliding in Nashik, so next on the list are Scuba Diving and Sky diving. I hope to complete my mission before I get married.
I was a Regional Level Champion thrice, three consecutive years (Bhopal Region) these were my main track events 3 Kmts, 1.5 Kmts,800 mts.
I make sure i have done some of my part in the fields I like.
Am Big Fan of HIMYM, FRIENDS, and BBT
"All I wanna be is everything at once" would describe me well. The thing I can least tolerate is inactivity.
NSS Servicing in rural villages (engineering life)
A wish of mine
This is especially because of the fact how women are treated in most parts of the world . The spirit of independence is firmly planted in me. Freedom is a quality I prize very highly , who doesn't after all so I wish the women all over should get the bite of it.#Mallala is an example. As this is a global network, I would like if it is followed everywhere, and , women can be safe and independent irrespective of the place. As today, Women too can call ,Independence day , one day.
Here are the replies to Jaggy's questions.
1. What energizes you when you feel dull or irritated ?
Music, dance, fun with friends. Ah! shopping, how can I forget.
2. What is the most adventurous thing that you have done in your life?
Para gliding, Raffling, River Crossing (fast flowing vyas river, Shimla)
3. If given a chance to show your creativity, in which specific field would you make an attempt?
My wishes changed time to time . Sometimes I wanted to join Indian Defense like my dad, Sports Women, then Fashion Designer, Business?? (although I dint have any clue of the area), Air Hostess, Actor ?. But , when it comes to creativity, I think I would have done well in Fashion Designing.
