Person in Focus…


Person in Focus…

Being the editor of “CDU India Newsletter” has its perks, since I was handling the “Person in Focus” section; it always gave me an opportunity to look into the mindset of people.

Ø  What do they think?

Ø  How do they think?

Ø  What inspires them?

Ø  How do they feel in the CDU?

Ø 

However, what used to amaze me is why people take so much time, sometimes about 3 weeks to answer, such simple questions about themselves? Don’t they have the self-realization to answer what is needed?

One of the perks I enjoyed is evading not having to answer these questions for 2 years straight. But was caught after the 2nd anniversary edition, where other editors realized that I had not filled in for some time now. So I started filling the questions.

I must admit, I WAS WRONG!!!

The questions although they seem simple have a quest to dive into your conscience and inner self to find what holds for you… It took a solid two week-ends of pondering to come to final set of answers… It’s a tough task and taught me not to rush people filling in “Person in Focus”.
