Blutterfly Isha conveys through her article how believing in someone's ability instills confidence and self- belief in the person and makes one a winner.
It was an extremely difficult task to get her out of her shell. It’s not that she was a shy woman or a person who has no intelligence. Something was stopping her from taking that chance. Her friends and family were trying to build her confidence and urging her to face the camera and make that appearance. Probably, she was afraid of fumbling in front of the camera or how she would look on screen. Unfortunately, she wasn’t aware of her potentials.
Here, let me introduce YASHIKA SINGH, an Economist with Dun & Bradstreet. Newspaper journalists and news programme coordinators were bombarding me with innumerable calls. They wanted to feature her on their talk shows. It is naturally not an easy task to sit among the stalwarts of the finance industry and discuss economics. These people have been regularly coming on television. But this time I was confident of convincing her for the live talk show.
11th July 2008 is definitely a red letter day for both Yashika and me. Parinaz and me were rushing towards CNBC office on a cloudy day to witness our very first live talk show. The topic of discussion was the current economic crisis of Inflation. Yashika had finally agreed to face the camera. Reaching forty-five minutes earlier, we were trying to lay our hands on every bit of information on inflation and intimating Yashika. She was on her way to the CNBC office with her close friends Metabelle and Lavina.
Yashika was wearing a maroon crisp shirt and beige formal pant and was looking very smart when she entered the office reception with her friends. But I could tell from her face that she was nervous to the core. We were taken to the guest room before the shoot. We all started encouraging and pepping up Yashika and got so carried away that the programme coordinator had to come in and calm us down. In some time Yashika went in for the shoot.
Within twenty minutes Yashika was on national television doing a live talk show called Aakhri Sauda. We all informed our respective offices and asked them to tune in and check out the show. Everyone came back with positive feedback and told us that Yashika was exceptionally good. All of us in the guest room were elated and waited eagerly for her to come out.
It was a new Yashika who came out. We saw a media shy person transforming into a person full of confidence and positive attitude. Today Yashika does not shy or hesitate in talking to the media.
For all this I feel proud of myself and my ex- team leader Subhash who had the confidence to motivate and convince Yashika to face the camera.
