1. Tell us more about what you do and what led you to speak on this platform.

I'm a full time engineer turned into a full time story teller. I tell stories to the schools and college students to ignite and inspire them to chase their dreams without giving up, irrespective of the number of hurdles they encounter on the journey. 

3. How do you chose and prepare for a talk?

Depends on the crowd that I'm about to address. Different age groups demands different approach so my preparation varies accordingly. 

5. How can one become a public speaker?

Anyone can become public speaker by having a strong sense of creating an impact on the audience with the point you have. 

6. Can motivational speaking become a full time career?

Absolutely yes. Provided you are in the limelight with new concepts or stories to impress your audience every single time you get on the stage can help you make a full time career being a motivational speaker without a second thought. 

7. Which is your favourite talk ever and how did it change your life?

A speech by Steve jobs in a graduation ceremony is my favourite speech to the date. His speech taught me the purpose of life. We, as a human being, always tend to impress others with the way we live and we always expect others to acknowledge our living. That kind of perception changed in my life after I heard speech from Steve jobs. 

8. What are the best public speaking tips that have worked for you?

Make audience laugh within the first few minutes you get on the stage so that they will start giving their mind to listen to what you want to share with them. Convey the message to audience with a bit of humour couple with it. Try not to use jargons in your speech. Using  simple words and conveying the message in the form a story telling is the best way to put forth your point to the audience. 

9. What impact do you want to make in the world?

Creating Dream Chaser(s) and presenting it our country is the dent or legacy that I would like to like to leave on this planet before I leave this planet. 

10. Which is your favourite book and why?

Eat that frog by Brain Tracy is my favourite book of all time. I've read this book 112 times over a period of 9 years. Every time I read this book, I end up learning a new lesson and I apply it in my life blindly to experience the miraculous results.
