Know Me
Hmm.. The page about self bragging.. Hi, I am Jayant.
What I do Offline
Offline. I am a MBA in Finance / Completed CISA - Certified Information System Auditor (certification awaited) and an I.T. graduate. My job areas are Financial Controlling and Internal Audit / Controls among others. I have a good programming and I.T. security knowledge but I don’t foresee a career in programming.
I never blog / write / orally communicate on anything career or workplace related online or social networking sites. I like to keep my both worlds separate.
What I do Online
Online. I like to spend my free time and weekends online. I like blogging, making websites, optimizing them, and looking for latest development in the Online world.
Passions / Interests / Hobbies
When I am not working or wandering online, there are other things that keeps me going.
I love traveling. Mostly places with scenic beauty. These places are becoming rare by the day. I am yet to explore the scenic north India and the backwaters at Kerala. Internationally I liked Paris the best. Its simply breath taking to watch Effiel Tower, the hunch back of Notredam and the lovely Mont Martre among others. That place is just beauty preserved at is best.
Photography interests me. But I don’t have the expertise nor the time to take it more seriously. So I engage in casual photography when I travel or go out for friendly trips. Check Click-o-Graphy for photos clicked by me and also interesting photos collected over the web.
I love watching movies and teleseries. Mostly action / comedy or animation. Teleseries I liked a lot are action (Heroes, Small Ville, The X Files, 24) comedy (Scrubs, Seinfeld, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, House, That 70s Show) etc. There are too many movies to even start naming.
Oh. I did I mentioned that I love to drool over Kristen Kreuk & Elisha Cuthbert. Total Eye Candy.
