The above picture is from Dec 2019, holding the fresh prints of my 2020 calendar that had just arrived.
Little Did I Know What 2020 had in-store for Us When I Made This.
The words looked perfect for a New Year Wish!!
This New Year Holds,
Opportunities to be attempted,
Dreams to be pursued
&
Success to be experienced.
Today when I look at it, initially it sounded bizarre.
A little more gazing into the words and I feel it still makes larger sense.
In this lock-down period most of us have got the opportunity to spend more quality time with our family, which many have yearned amidst their busy schedule. We have the opportunity to look around our society, to know them better and to help the needy.
Many of my friends are ticking quite a few things of their bucket list – exploring avenues to establish small businesses, learning new things, reading the books that had been lying idle in the shelf for quiet long, working towards fitness, becoming more self aware and many more.
Social distancing is the New Normal,
Masks are the New Fashion,
Home is the New Workplace,
Online is the New Classroom,
Safety is the New Concern!
All unexpected are becoming normal.
Now that we are recovering from the tough time, we have more courage than before and more unity. I can see my support system grow. The thought process of many people has changed towards good. Our priorities have been updated. We now know what matters mostJ
I see the whole evolution as a step ahead.
Not denying the suffering and losses of many, but Life Goes On. We need to take things positively and move along as better evolved human beings.
Looking around Positively.

Written during the Pandemic – Covid
Review and Snippets:
The book is set on a fiction ground where an entrepreneur and artist are taken through a transformation phase by their mentor. While reading we will be relating easily to either of them and their mindset that’s seeking growth. Lengthy part though. We need to skim through to get into actual takeaways.
The author lists various techniques to help us move out of our comfort zone and impart new habits that aids in transforming our lives to world class.
What kind of habits should we develop–
The 4 focus of history makers:
1. Capitalisation IQ – intelligently exploiting whatever primal gifts you’ve been given.
2. Freedom from Distraction- An addiction to distraction is the death of your creative production.
3. Personal Mastery Practice – Training the best part of you.
4 Interior Empires – Mindset, Heartset, Healthset, Soulset
4. Day Stacking – daily personal and professional optimizations
He insists on using the Victory Hour of the day 5am to 6am to cultivate new habits onto our life. Consistency is the key.
How to develop new habits–
To Start a new habit we can taken through the below ways:
1.Trigger – a trigger to start the habit everyday. An alarm to wake up at 5am that doesn’t have a snooze option.
2.Ritual – something you practice to do when you wake up everyday like a small warm-up exercise.
3.Reward – like sleeping early to compromise the early hours.
4.Repeat – consistency in doing the above.
Followed by the Habit Arc, we are taken through the Habit Installation Protocol – Described in 3 stages(22 days each)
* Deconstruction Stage – rise above your own force of gravity
* Installation Stage – interior renovation
* Integration Stage – making habit part of ourselves/our routine.
Next is the 20-20-20 Formula to effectively utilise Victory Hour. Move – Reflect- Grow.
The above is a very brief snippet. The author takes through each step with utmost care and explains scientifically the changes that we will be happening to our thought process when we start implementing these techniques.
If you have taken steps towards progression and change, this book is for you. It’ll be a guide to do what you need to do.

The basic psychology in evaluating any person in a 5-10 minutes interview is to review his earlier track records, as general tendencies of people remain constant most of the time.
With amateurs we cannot expect accolades or achievements in the selected field (if they have it is definitely a point gainer) so their education is primarily reviewed. Reviewing education not only implies comparing the academic scores but also their approach towards their academic life.
Few indicators – If a graduate has been leading his teams at various possible times, he projects himself as a promising leader. A focused student can definitely transform in to a result oriented employee. Students being part of many activities and camps are go getters and adapt easily to changes. If there is constant improvement in scores it shows their interest towards self improvement.
Nowadays I come across many students with a list of random training/certifications yet not aware of the purpose of the subject/course. There are few who have taken up lot of mock interviews and land up with confidence to attend interview but without knowing their capability or our requirement. They have a predefined set of expected questions and a general procedure to attend interview like arriving early and being formally dressed.
Not denying that the above is not necessary but there is lot more to analyze before attending interviews.
Firstly, neither all interviews are similar nor the process or the interviewer. One has to do a small analysis before any interview.
About the company– A brief study on what the company does and how.
About the exact position they have applied for – Designation, nature of job, their scope in industry, etc
Requirements for the position – There are different requirements for each position. An engineer can apply for both a sales position and a technical position, and both have different requirements. Technical engineer of a telecom company and an automobile company have different job roles. Study the requirements of the role.
Suitability – In what ways this job can help you achieve your goal or improve your abilities.
Selection possibility – An interview for 100 people to fill up 50 positions will be comparatively easier than an interview for 300 people for 20 positions. Prepare accordingly.
Any fresher is hired if convinced of being trainable. If the person in front of you is convinced of the fact that you possess the qualities to be trained, then you are in. Projecting those qualities in a presentable format at the time of interview is the real trick.
From my view as a HR these are few do(s) and don’t(s):
The very first round of selection process most fresh graduates face is a written test varying from aptitude to communication to psychometric. No means to avoid. Practice.
Be relevant. It is not required to project your R&D skills at a sales interview.
Have clarity – Why you need this job, what next in your career, what are your interests and capabilities, what additional skills you need to gain.
Prepare your résumé yourself with correct and required information rather than going by templates and stereotypes. Highlight your positive traits and avoid things that you do not know.
Listen keenly and keep the interviewer engaged with your answers.
Be Spontaneous – all interviews never go the same way. Formats may change in between. Panel may change. Be prepared.
Finally, Be Confident – on your own abilities. Do not lose hope until you find your dream job.
Best Wishes to Achieve your dream!
Let’s Grow Together!
