So here is the extract of our
Interview.
I termed this "Interview with an
Achiever"
Q1:So how do you manage all these things in a
single lifetime?
Simple terms
in life called:Interests,Willingness to Learn,Prioritizing;
& Time
management
Q2:Is there any incident which changed
your way of thinking?
Yes, more than
one in fact!
This is
referred to a small but significant incident.
When, after
having settled my family way, I started getting occupied with more than
one creative activities in hand. I was also appointed as an executive member of
a socio-charitable club, to which I had agreed to take up a certain
designation. I thought I could do away without attending all its meetings. Once
while talking to my mother over the phone, I casually told her that I shall
skip going for a scheduled meeting of executives. To which she firmly said that
"Either do not take up responsibilities, but once you do, Take it very
seriously & with utmost sincerity.". This message stirred me to the
core & ever since, I never took anything for granted or lightly.

Q3: So in all your vocations/hobbies you
do, which one you consider,
1.Your favorite and why?
2.Is very Tough?
3.Is very Easy?
1. Voice-over
recordings: because it is fun as I learn something different with every new
assignment (& it pays me as well).
2. Nothing
seems tough as I plan accordingly. I have managed toughest schedules &
strenuous tasks with ease.
3. Everything
seems easy as I enjoy doing things I have chosen to do in my life.
Q4:What are your thoughts for the Gen x Youths? How are they
different from your Generation?Dont you feel that the new generation wants
package and not passion.?
To me, the new generation seems very
promising.
They ought to be different from the
previous generation and outgrow the limited mindset of previous generations.
They need to change for good in order to make this world a happier & more
prosperous place.
The newer
generation is intelligent, confident & passionate. But for self-discipline
& virtuous qualities, that some might lack, sure need to be inculcated with
love & perseverance.
Q5: So do you recommend perfectionism in
a particular skill or be a Multitasking Master?
Life can never
be PERFECT. I live mine "in pursuit of Excellence"!
For any person
to excel career wise, one has to be a master of one. However, it is always
wiser to follow a multi-step program to nourish your soul:
a. a work
& career that helps you earn money to lead a comfortable life;
b. invigorate
grey cells; an inclination towards academics (reading/writing/ solving puzzles
etc.) as I firmly believe that life is all about learning. We should continue
to learn... perhaps even till our very last breath....to breathe out with
peace... & a smile with ease.
c. pursue at
least one art form (painting/music/dance etc). This works therapeutically &
helps grow spiritually.
d. one must be
physically active, so a sport or game is refreshing & stress buster.
In short, life
should be like a beautiful rainbow, emitting all colors of joy.
Q6:What you think was your best
achievement till date?
As for the
achievement:
For the passion I have for driving I yearned to go for a car rally & was
sure to win it. The best moment came when I won a Women's Car Rally amongst 65
participants in 2010.
The most
incredible moment:
I wish I was an aviator but
for the fact that my family loves me too much & wouldn't want me to GO UP
from air up above! Still, as destined, I got this fabulous opportunity to
maneuver a Cessna aircraft. It was an ethereal feel!
Another very special
achievement for me is that "On papers, I am the 1st Marshal
registered for India's first ever Formula I, Grand
Prix".
Q7:What is that which you think that you
didn't achieve still?
Million $
question!! I am still exploring myself.... :)
Let me put it
this way, whatever I have achieved or received so far, makes me qualify as an
educated person in this century. Henceforth, whatever I do or get is like extra
certificates, diplomas & degrees in my life. I adorn & cherish every
"feather in my cap". :)
Q8:So what do you have to say for the
Girls who comes home after work and say "Oh god!! Too much work,stress..I
just wanna Sleep"? In other words how do you manage to be fit and
beautiful ;) ?
Each one of us
has a different capacity to handle stress & stamina to work relentlessly.
So my message to the women folk is, "Girls, take up only as much as you
can handle. Understand your responsibilities & Prioritize!"
To me, my
family is my utmost priority. Then comes my home, my work (professional &
social welfare activities) & then relatives/friends.
I am a person
who works with dedication. I save all my time by NOT going to beauty
parlors/salons or ladies kitties or watch t.v..
As for my fitness & physical attributes, I would rather give credit to the
Divine blessings & also the inherited genes and the satisfaction I derive
out of my hard work and social services.
P.S. In fact, your question makes me feel guilty of not giving enough time to
my own self.
Q9:And Name any 5 people whom you
consider as your Inspiration/Role model?
Any 4 favorite
songs?Any 3 Actors/Actresses who you think are awesome?Any 2 Singers you will
love to hear them again?Any 1 Movie which means a lot to you?
1. People I am
inspired by:
My
Father: for Impeccable way of working & remain active. He used to walk
so fast when he would go to drop me to my school bus stop that I would almost
run behind him with my tiny steps.
My Mother: to love & care unconditionally.
My maternal grandfather: To pursue Learning through reading. I loved to arrange
the books in his library during my vacations and would land up selecting books
which I would read after I finished the chore.
My husband: Punctuality
By each person I meet: We have so much to learn from each individual &
incident, "What to be & what not to be!".
2. Fav songs:
Summer holidays by Cliff Richards
Dance little lady dance by Tina Charles

All songs of Veer Zara
All songs of Lagaan

4. Singers:

Q10:Which is that one question which you
have the answer and no one till now questioned? :)
Now, you make me ponder upon
that!!
The question
no one dares to ask:
"What shall be
your last wish?"
My last wish
would be to donate all the possible healthy organs, after I have breathed my
last.
So This is her!!! A wonderful
lady I have ever met. A friendly Women, All time smart.. I dont have any words
