TREMENDOUS TAPESTRY
She lived in an orphanage
As a girl at her young age
She was held in marriage
Then sixteen was her age
She worked as a labourer
To fulfill her great hunger
She did blistering labour
To lead her life in squalor
She gave birth to two girls
Who were peerless pearls
Her toil brought her tears
Fueling all her great fears
She decided to end her life
To put up with sordid strife
Time for death was not rife
As two kids cried for her life
She was fired with ambition
To seek learning with notion
Carrying her kids to the town
She found her desire's ignition
She worked as a tailoress
Her kids wanted her caress
They cherished her kindness
Her learning was in progress
America was her destination
Her goals needed dedication
Her industry showed fruition
With indomitable inclination
She made earnest endeavour
To be a software entrepreneur
She rose above a tide in valour
Like a phoenix in all grandeur
Superb success was in access
For her striving without stress
Key Software firm was success
In Phoenix a centre of business
She inspires all with her story
Making great speeches in glory
Jyothi Reddy keeps her category
Tidying up tremendous tapestry
Her story shows the win of will
Determination can guide us well
Tireless toil can always fare well
Quelling crises with winsome will
Jyothi Reddy was the daughter of a farmer in Andhra Pradesh, before her section was split off to be come a new state (Telangana) in 2014. Historically it was the Telugu-speaking region of Hyderabad. At 9 she was sent with her younger sister to an orphanage and took classes in what the American schools used to call “home economics.” At 16 she was married to a poor farmer 10 years older (her cousin) and, within 3 years, had 2 daughters of her own. To make ends meet she stitched petticoats and taught night school before becoming a librarian. Then she returned to school, studying computer application. After moving to the US alone she worked a number of lowly jobs before deciding to open a consulting company to assist those seeking American visas. On Vijayadashami in 2001, a Hindu holiday commemorating Rama’s victory over the10-headed demon Ravana, she launched Key Software Solutions in Phoenix, Arizona. After 3 years the firm was earning over a million dollars and eventually grew to over 15 million dollars.
