I'm on my journey

When I moved from Uttar Pradesh to Delhi for my Bachelors, the most frequently asked question to me was: "Why didn't you go to Canada?" With time, I developed a standard reply along the lines of "Not all the people of Uttar Pradesh are at the Delhi airport right now to leave the country."

However, every time I encountered this question, I was shaken to reality by my shoulder. Whether we like it or not, support it or not, migration from Uttar Pradesh is happening, and at an unprecedented rate. Upwards of one lakh Uttar Pradesh youth is moving abroad each year, and this number is on a rise.

Not that migration is something unheard of - but the fact that it is no more a small, imperceptible, ignorable anomaly. It's no more the exception - it's increasingly becoming the rule.

There's always a method to madness. As one researcher points out, "Migration is not a haphazard movement of poor people." The change needs to be perceived, reckoned and channeled rightly.

And I cannot be sitting on my desk doing nothing.

Therefore, I am on a journey. At least this month, to begin with. I am going to the heartlands of Uttar Pradesh. Universities, villages, public gatherings and people on the street all are on my charts.

Working on a paper titled "Overseas Migration from Uttar Pradesh: Reasons and Patterns", I am trying to scratch the surface of this phenomenon by talking to researchers, scholars, families of migrants, and the primary stakeholder - the youth.

Join me on my journey through these LinkedIn posts. My first visit is to Amit University, Uttar Pradesh.

I'll be sharing other anecdotes/learnings during my journeys unrelated to my research on my blog

Feel free to connect. Let's be voyagers together.

8 Easy tricks to boost your confidence

Walk 25% faster Throw your shoulders back, lift up your head, move ahead a little faster, and feel self-confidence grow. 2. Talk slowly People who feel they aren't worthy of being listened to tend to talk quickly. So ensure that you aren't rushing. 3. Accomplish small goals Try making your bed in the morning. You will feel accomplished and that will pave the way for achieving bigger goals. 4. Dress nicely This may come across as cliche. But when you dress nicely, you will most likely feel more confident. 5. Empower yourself with knowledge Empowering yourself, in general, is one of the best strategies for building confidence. 6. Be a front seater Ever notice in meetings how the back seats fill up first? The reason is lack of confidence. 7. Practice making eye contact 8. Practice speaking up at every meeting. When you are in a meeting. Speak, comment, make a suggestion, ask a question.

Rejection in Final Round

Image
I was rejected in the partner round ! It was my very first interview with a really big MNC. Prepared ins and outs, watched a lot of videos. Talked to as many people as I can to gain perspective. I was shattered when I got to know I was rejected in the last round because I did give my best. But today, I will never say something like I got rejected in the partner round. Instead I'll say I made it till the last round :) So, Instead of focusing on the rejection, focus on the progress you made and the skills you developed during the interview process. Use this experience to improve your skills and approach for future opportunities.
