Bhageeratha Prayatnam

In this age, we hear a lot about communication skills. I have to admit that I would not have thought it was really important had I not heard people speaking about it. It is known for me for a long time that my communication skills -- both written and oral -- are horrible. In fact, a couple of days ago, my most gentle neighbor told me that my speaking skills are lousy. But today, I realized it. And I also realized that there a lot of difference between knowing and realizing!

Well, gave a presentation today over Skype. It was supposed to be 30-40 minutes. Because it was really a busy week, and partially because of my lousiness, I was not able to practice as very well as  I should have. I was also interrupted many times with questions or for clarifications. In the end, it was a maraton 1.30 hour long presentation! Phew!

I don't know if I am gonna get the job I applied for, or I just squandered an opportunity -- I will know it in a couple of days. Anyway, I decided that I need to fix my shortcomings. And, I know the only way to achieve that goal is by getting my hands dirty and by practicing. Well yes, I have decided to start my Bhageeratha Prayatnam!
