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.

Happiness-Truest and Highest Expression of You

What is Happiness? Surrounded by best of things! Surrounded by Best Of people! Travelling the world luxuriously! No sadness in the world! No Poverty! No pain! No war, No one Starving! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Are you living in a Utopian  age? To quote Nataly Kogan,a corporate happiness sherpa, 'Happiness is not the absence of negative emotions. You’re not failing happiness because you feel sad or angry. Let yourself feel what you feel, but don’t lose sight of the little moments of warmth, compassion, or beauty that are always there,even if you have to wipe your tears to see them.' You Are Enough. You are lovable, amazing and deserving of true genuine happiness exactly the way you are. May be you have to align your thoughts more towards being mindful of your happiness but You don’t have to do anything more to earn it. You’re a being, not a doing. You are not your thoughts. You are not your feelings. They are part of you, but not the entirety of you. Learn t...

"There are no stupid questions,but do you have smart answers?" Questions they ask and what they are really asking is differ...

Be a Copy Cat!

Two decades ago when I visited a restaurant for the first time with cousins, I didn’t know how to use my fork or where to place a serviette? I never wanted to embarrass my cousin that he has brought his small town silly baby sister to a plush place. But I managed the show just by imitating my senior cousin. Not only a restaurant, I came out of many such fixing situations where I never knew how to conduct myself, I just copied the people in front of me with a smile on my face and a confident gaze. So don’t think copying is bad, copying behavior to learn things is primitive. An infant learns by copying its parents and people around. A language is caught rather than taught by imitating. We work on our skill sets by following an ideal or mentor. We pickup many a traits of ours; which we like in our parents, friends and spouse subconsciously just by replicating them. Same can be applied to an interview scenario, where you are confused to choose what type of body language, to...
