(Greetings)
I am Joseph Peter / (My Name is Joseph peter only when not called by name). I was born and brought up in
Madurai. I completed my schooling in St. John’s School in Madurai. I did my B.E in mechanical engineering at
SSM institute in Dindigul. Currently I am residing with my family in Madurai. My father runs a stationary shop
and my mother takes Tuition classes for school children. My younger sister is studying in college.
Why Banking?
I always have the curiosity to learn about each and every topic that grabs my attention. My attention shifted
towards financial sector with the question of why one rupee is not equal to one dollar and from there I started
learning about financial, economical functioning of the world. And there I started to feel that this is where I
belong in terms of a carrier.
I always try to learn the procedure and the rules before undertaking a task and that projects me as slow
working persons to my observers and I consider this as my weakness. I tend to overly criticize myself in each
and every step. To overcome this I have started seeking advice of my elders to learn and start functioning
more actively.
(About Hindi)
I did not have many chances to speak in hindi but if I get the chance I can develop to speak well.
