Journey to the end... Destinations are few...

Human psychi, first sight, hardly 5 sec and the nature, behavior, perception and tendency are all inside out. One becomes so good with character assassination with time. I completely believe in the 6th sense. The first time you meet a person, you shake hands, and the vibration says it all. The first time you see a person smiling, first time you see the eyes moving, first time you see the neck wobbling, first time you see the eye-brows quivering. I know observation is the only silent and under-paid teacher. Yes it reaches the destination slowly like our own Mr. Tortoise. In recent times I have met quite a few personalities (I feel every person you meet is a personality in themselves), and I couldn’t stop myself then share the different prototypes. I always keep building these prototypes in my brain and I try to update them as and when I meet someone new, yes being unassigned at work helps.

When it comes to meeting a stranger, the place you are in, plays such a momentous role. It is so different; when it is a night club, or on an excursion to Sunderbans, or a library, or a dinner table, or a temple, or in a meeting room and not to forget in office (meeting new colleagues). Every place has its own role to play on your perception about the stranger, offcourse, a temple will not do the trick which a night club will. A dinner table will never do the magic’s of Sunderbans. Though one can always talk about places; it doesn’t matter where you are meeting. But more than anything else, I am concerned about those initial 5 sec. Those 5 sec makes you discover a lot about the person’s grooming; his intentions about few things, his observation skills, which I again want to accentuate, is the biggest teacher in this world (Analogous to observation one also lean towards being lazy and a little less adventurous); his confidence; the most important thing is his belief in you or his assessment of those 5 sec of you as stranger to him; his tolerance; the list is endless.

I remember Kaustav sir emphasizing on it in our GMCS classes, how the interviewer decides subconsciously that this is the person he was looking for, as soon as the interviewee enters the room. How exciting it used to be to learn the facts which were living submerged in the gigantic brain. We all know the Assessment Form is there in everyone’s subconscious; awareness and observation of surroundings helps brain enunciate it. Yeah I had my luck with all the interviewers, who have tried to know me their way including my would-be in-laws.
