00:23
What the hell man? Can I speak out? Can I speak out? Of course. You can. But what is the use? Uh, why did we get into an argument yesterday? Was it such a big transgression that I should not have said? What about Chandra and saru? Here, I am always being given the short end of the stick of this straw or whatever and.

00:56
I've been asked to.

01:02
Face the anger. Okay, you're angry. That's okay. Is that such a big deal? I don't know. Why do you have to reflect that angle? If another person is angry? Doesn't mean that you also have to posture in the same way. You can be. Indifferent to the emotion. Is that not?

01:34
A possibility. Why do you have to? Agree to what is being done? Or being? Mirror somebody else's emotions and actions. Is that a necessity? I don't think so. You're free to do what you want. And. Today was an important day. And what I realized was yes, definitely. There is.

02:08
A power at work. Some things are happening in the background. It didn't work out. Completely. But the gentleman was very gentlemanly. He was very gently. Uh, he could have ripped me apart and proven that I was an idiot and incompetent. Yeah, coming to those points. Hold. Really prep. And you know, it's time that I started to speak the language without requiring.

02:49
You know through so much of prompting and prepping? Uh, when, when especially when you've been in the domain? Why are you struggling? Why are you not able to speak the language? Why are you? Talking like a Layman? Finally, it's the language which is on which the person has the only way the person can assess.

03:19
Or see what has happened? Is your description? There is no other way. So unless? Package it appropriately. If I may say so. There is no way the person can gauge whether you're good or you're just another paperweight. There is no way. So, how can you expect somebody to give you the benefit of Doubt?

03:52
When you aren't speaking the language at all. Uh, that is a given that you must use terminology. Which is in work? And you bloody will do it. There is no other way. Why don't you get it? I get it. Baba, it's not that I don't get it. It's just that the words don't come.

04:21
Don't come naturally. So, let them come artificially. You have to say it. There is no other way.

04:33
I mean, if they are your success models? You have a long way to go. Unless you start using the words which? Mean what they're supposed to mean. We are not going to go anywhere. We have to do it. That is the only. Possibility.

05:11
So? How can you?

05:20
How can you prepare? Uh, like there is going to be a teleprompter. And. What if I have points? See I, I always believe in. Playing to my strengths? Like this. Gentleman also suggested. Play to your strengths and? Do what is acceptable? Provide the value. The person is looking for.

05:58
If you don't do it. He or she has no way. To accept you. There's just going to treat you like junk. So? Might as well. Play the game. And play it well. Uh, yes, it is difficult you need to make. You need to prep in a specific way where you can.

06:33
You can. Without mugging up. Look at the list of stock phrases. And throw them. Into the basket. Wherever you get an opportunity. And. Try and be genuine. That has been your strength. So, GNC 300 is the. Name of the game. So? Let's try and!

07:11
Please try and be yourself. But at the same time. Learn to throw. The terms. Something. Which is relevant? And. Inexplicably. Daunting. But at the same time. Hey! Go to your lane man.

08:04
That was a bit of. Paid situation. You needed to maneuver? Without? Actually. Hurting anyone's sensibilities. You notice he didn't say that he was with me. But he said he is was in the Air Force. So was? In the armed forces. So there is? A distinct. Method of? Deflecting the relationship.

08:50
Neutral. Without? Actually. Giving away. Anything you feel? Is a value.

09:11
Something which I? Failed to understand. Because. What we need to? Really, make sure. Is that?

09:32
Getting to the bottom of things? Also finding ways of. Telling ourselves. This is how the world works. And. If you don't do it. The world does not want to wait for you. But instead would move on. You have to understand that. And. What I've also seen? Is that? For some reason.

10:17
Your children. Especially your son. His own sense of ideas. Which are not? Uh, I'll say fully developed. His sense of self-worth. And capability are also. Thin, if I may say so. My own view of myself is is pathetic. After all these years, I still I am struggling. To memorize.

11:04
A few keywords. Is it lack of attention? Is it lack of? Capability. I really don't know. Um, I, I feel it's a lack of application, a lack of focus. Uh, you're too distracted. Really stick. To what needs to be done? And. You have to have. Or sleeve or wherever?

11:46
And. Make yourself. A player who can? Not just.

12:03
Also. Drill down. Deep into the.

12:16
Giving yourself a better chance? Doing what you're good at. It's really not my strength, but what is your strength? What really is your strength? Have you discovered it? Can you bat towards that? This. Is something which I need to. Really internalize. And. Also find that. On a sticky wicket.

12:58
Yeah, uh, giving that cricketing analogy was. Probably. Yeah, probably saying that, yeah, you have. The hing. Interests. And. It's what playing that game?

13:26
So? Uh, reading that was definitely.

13:35
Let me step back here and! Take some. Make some takeaways for myself. One is. About writing. And the other is about. Prepping for the interview? About writing. You know what you like, okay, you know what you have read? And what did you like about it? Reread it. Maybe reread it multiple times?

14:12
And really. Get down to. The get down to Brass tags and identify what made that? What resonated with you? Why did it click what has? How has it been crafted? For it to have. What the weight did? That is something which you need to consciously. Drill into your brain.

14:48
And. Be able to. Recollect. See those stock phrases what he used. Um. Reinventing yourself just to stay relevant. Uh, is a stock phrase. There was nothing new in that, but it summarized this situation. In a way. That it carried the credibility. And the gravitas. By the choice of words and also.

15:31
Making this. A way of? Playing the game. Now is. A better way. I can do this. Is there a way I can? Recognize quality. I am able to do that. I'm able to say that. These points are really meaningful. These takeaways are. Correct? Accurate. And. I am not able to.

16:12
Repurpose the phrases or the ideas. In a way which I can claim ownership. Or even. Uh, be an original contributor.

16:35
Leveraging. The data points, which can? Make a difference. How should I? Really? Lead my life. Where this doesn't matter. If I'm able to? To do projects. If I am able to execute or work on? My own projects at my own time. And. Please indulge me in this. If I am able to do things which?

17:21
Relevant, even if they're relevant only to me. Can. Can I do more of this? And okay, let me stop for now. And. Use these words. As fodder for today's. Voice. And. Try and! Position myself. In a better way. For bigger things in life. There are forces working, and I am grateful to God.

18:01
I'm grateful to the Lord for giving me the. Uh opportunity, and for. Shown that it's still possible. Thank you, Lord, I really appreciate it. And I know that. You are you? You are there you are? Giving me the breaks. And. I don't know how to say this better, but?

18:33
Yes, my time will come and. Till then, I guess. Things are. Going to be the way they are. Okay.
