Onmanorama got a bit nosy to satiate your curiosity and hereby introduces Sana Nazar a.k.a the dosa lover, who was pretty concerned about the economy but framed her question in the same Dosanomics lingo, which Rajan used to explain about how lower interest rates and lower inflation rates are better in India’s economy.

Stressing on how much of an economy watcher and a dosa lover she is, Sana says it's only natural that she took notice of Rajan's speech about Dosanomics.

“I have always been curious about the things happening in our world and that is what led me to ask the question," she says.
When asked who was her role model, she said, "Raghuram Rajan sir has become my role model because his answer was just over the top. Dosanomics itself was explained in such a simple manner. In fact, that's what attracted me the most.
"After the video went viral, one of my friend asked me: 'Sana why did you use dosa for your example?' I asked him: 'Do you know about Dosanomics?' He said: 'No, I am not aware of it but I still think you should have put a better example than dosa.' To this, I replied: 'I asked that question to the creator of Dosanomics.'

"I think half of the people are unaware of what is happening in the world, what is affecting us, the value of money, the inflation rate, etc. So we need people like Raghuram Rajan sir to just put it in simple terms to drive home the point."

The only child of Sajitha and Nazar, Sana wants to expand her family business Mizmaiz, a clothing line designed by her own mother. She says she loves designing clothes, which is one of her main hobbies. But she says she will only think of getting into the family business after getting a good 10-year work experience after completing her MBA from IIM.Apart from that, she likes reading as well.
On being asked about her decision to choose engineering for her undergraduate study, Sana said, “The skills that an engineer possesses are so vivid; he finds solution to so many things, he is open to inventions, discovery and the curiosity factor that comes along with technology, which is continuously changing. That is how I decided to take up engineering and now, after the talk with Raghuram Rajan sir, I understood why engineers are so much in demand. Like he said, technology has to be improved."
