“I don’t know how to make friends and if I do, I don’t know how to keep them….If a friend is upset with me it’s 100 per cent my fault but I can’t pick up the phone and say sorry…. I can’t apologise because of ego but because I can’t just get myself to ask people to come back to me…”
I think I have finally found the person whom I can idealize in the Indian context. Irrespective of his hazaar discrepancies, SRK for me is THE man who comes closest to justifying the phrase ‘gift of gab’. These few words mentioned above actually connected deep down me. Something I should have actually known for a very long time, only he put it in so many words now.
I have always believed effective communication is when you can convey your point in as little words as possible. Cause when you speak too much or too long the purpose of the conversation is lost. And for me its very important to hold the attention of the listener and yet have him gasping for more. I remember my English teacher told me that if you want to avoid making grammatical errors in your writing. Then you should avoid making long sentences. And I have followed this like fundamental rule of writing in my life. Which obviously goes for verbal communication too.
Wit, sarcasm, presence of mind, and spontaneity not to forget a good grasp of the language are some of the qualities I value and want to inculcate than any other quality. But sure it’s a long way to go. Plus it sometimes backfires and the only way to practice it, is to be up there higher on the top. :)
