As you live life forward; many many TRAPS will attract YOU. Some people fall into them out of excitement & then spend a lifetime in recovering. One such massive trap is often laid on your road to ‘selecting the right college’ for yourself. There will be crooks and ignoramuses everywhere. Be cautious! As a Motivational Speaker in India; I am tempted to warn you about this rampant racket that has become a big suction point for the youth of today.
I am an English enthusiast. Love this language. So much so that in my early college days- I could memorize the entire Oxford’s dictionary (forgotten much of it with age though).
‘Powerful English’ is a deep desire with almost everyone who I meet; wherever I go. It is like the makeup of the bride (very few genuinely understand it, but it looks good). Hence, this effort at making ‘learning english’ simpler and more enjoyable!
“Akash! You can come in T-shirt, shorts & slippers to do your talk at Google” – the words of Manish (My host at Google) relieved me; as I had exhausted wearing all my formal clothes during my back to back, daily corporate events & training sessions in the last 7 days.

This motivational TEDx video from SIBM, Bangalore is an attempt to share my story of having done a PG in Fashion from NIFT, New Delhi & then going on to become a Motivational Speaker & a Corporate Trainer.
Loouuuu is in the air! Isn’t it? Even if the air quality is as complicated as the complicated relationships in your life?
Last week you probably celebrated Valentine’s Week. Either by laughing at ‘foolishly in love’ people (because you are jealously or happily single) or by actually being ‘foolish in love’. Let me tell you what I did.
This Valentine week, I ran this happy campaign about ‘Love, Sex & Relationships’ on my social media. I have canned that as a little presentation for you:
What makes you stand apart when you are looking for a job? Your talents and skills yes. But how do you make those stand out? That’s the bigger question. In an office, your resume / CV is one among the pile, like a brown horse among a horde of brown ones. Even if it’s DNA is different, no one would know! And that’s why I am writing this blogpost – to share my two cents on how to write a good resume and CV. I hope you find it of much use. Dig in!
