sTo bridge the gap between College to Corporate, I got an opportunity to address the students of DB Jain College, Chennai. Students from 20 colleges and close 160+ students attended the valedictory function of their Techno Meet.
Credits goes to Ms. Sandhya who played a instrumental role for connecting me with College. I dedicate this speech to Ms. Sandhya. Hats off to her.

Year 1998, Place: SRA Systems, Teynampet, Chennai
I entered the interview room similar to
Kamalhassan in Tenali movie. I was overwhelmed by complete fear. I had fear for
everything. I had fear to open my mouth. I had fear to speak English. I had
fear to speak to HR people.
Kamalhassan in Tenali movie. I was overwhelmed by complete fear. I had fear for
everything. I had fear to open my mouth. I had fear to speak English. I had
fear to speak to HR people.
The interviewer lady asked, tell me about
yourself. I was literally struggling for the words.. Though I had practised
this 100 times, on that day, nothing came out of my mouth. My heart beat was
thundering at a high speed, my mind went blank, and I was frozen. I was
speechless and nothing was coming out of my mouth. Not even air was coming out
of my mouth. I stood in the centre of
the room for 45 seconds without uttering a word. Then I came back from the room
with my head down. I felt I was in the bottom of the world. That night I could
not sleep. I came out as a failure. Good for nothing follow.

After that incident, I felt deeply dejected, disappointed
and devastated. I did not do anything for a week. I was becoming more and more
negative. That is when, my mom suggested to “Run towards your fear”
and devastated. I did not do anything for a week. I was becoming more and more

Then I started addressing my fear. I did

My second fear was public speaking or speaking
confidently in front of a group. I enrolled in Toastmasters, non-profit group
to work on communication and leadership. Please work on your communication
skills that will boost your confidence.

My third fear was comparing myself with
others,I used to compare myself with every other person in the world. I did not
have enough confidence to speak to anyone. I was overwhelmed by self-rejection
and self-criticism who are my worst enemies. Never compare yourself with
others. If you do, you will not be able to stand in front of the audience and
speak comfortably. Accept yourself as you are. Only when you accept, you can
learn and then grow.
