Let’s Learn from Movie Industry!




Mastering Interviews: Winging v/s Scripting
‘I like to be spontaneous and natural while answering questions. I cannot sham myself, I’ll rather like winging than faking.’ said a student of mine while discussing strategies for answering frequently asked interview questions. My take on this will be “it’s not faking .Its understanding yourself, planning, practicing and executing your thoughts in a way that they come out as credible and appropriate answers.”
The movie industry is the best example of penning, rehearsing and executing the scenes to deliver power packed performances. All the acts, situations and dialogues do not come naturally to the actors. They can’t just ‘wing it’ all the time. There is obviously a script with well written dialogues to be executed; to deliver a believable character on screen. Much practice, rehearsals and retakes are required to pull it all.
It’s strategic to script, memorize, practice and implement appropriate answers to key interview questions. But the script must be appropriate and credible. Practice, Practice and practice till the time it comes out as sincere answer.
Once you have prepared your answers, start role playing them with family and friends. When you reach to the point when your scripted answers are coming out as ‘real’ to them, you are well on the road to success. Dress for the part, practice, rehearse, retake, more practice and execute to sound believable and genuine.

Method Behind Magic

  “Be open, be Impatient and Be Hopeful’ Listening to Sundar Pichai addressing the passing out batch of 2020 is magical, quintessential and evoke hope. No matter you are passing out this year or you graduated twenty years ago, it shows you light in despairing time. Trying to dissect the anatomy of his narrative, I faced the power of number three. Rule of 3 is a literary device used to make language come alive. Steve Job in his famous commencement speech at Stanford narrated three personal stories to evoke emotions (pathos) engage authentically (ethos) with his personal experiences and bring home the values of trust, faith and uncertainty of life as logical conclusions (logos). Mr Pichai too used personal experiences, powerful language and detailed description to give a message of hope to the youth. Information combined with emotion becomes a memory. “If you want something stuck in someone’s head, put it in a sequence of three,” Brian Clark, founder of Copyblogger said. Ru...

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Are you living in a Utopian  age? To quote Nataly Kogan,a corporate happiness sherpa, 'Happiness is not the absence of negative emotions.

Burst the PoP

  When Theodore Roosevelt said,' Comparison is the thief of joy' he was explaining the Paradox of Possessions. More you have, the more coveted.No matter how recent model you got someone else will have a better model of a car or a watch. As we purchase something new, we experience the dopamine rush, the sense of achievement but its fleeting. To get that high again we go back to buy more or better, which is a vicious cycle and induces guilt as experienced by alcoholics and drug addicts. What is exciting and alluring becomes a norm in no time. New purchases lead to new expectations and we keep on raising the bar, we look for even better ones. It's a never-ending and is known as PoP-Paradox of Possessions. It's like the bottle of soda pop, once opened it fizzles out.     Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives, a Harvard study revealed. Along with relationships, Experiences than possessions bring more happiness. Human...
