#captshwetamisra speaks- A story from my past when I was awakened to the realisation of the powers of soft skills. I have been an army officer and After leaving the army and having completed my MBA I started teaching management subjects in a college. This was BIET Jhansi, it is now called National Institute of Technology.  So when I joined the college, I used to see a lot of students sitting on dharna (or expressing protest) in front of the principal's office. That continued for almost a month.  The reason for that dharna or demonstration I found out later was that out of roughly 400 students that passed out that year, only 2 got jobs through Campus placement drive. They were accusing the principal and administration for not doing enough. I don't remember how ultimately the situation diffused that time. But in the subsequent semester I was summoned by the director principal in his office. Dr Awasthy was the principal then. he requested me to conduct personality development sessions for the students… so that they were better prepared for the forthcoming campus interviews. I agreed. But …There was no syllabus, no reference points on soft skill training at that time in that college . So I created my own modules. For next 3 months  I conducted mock interviews of final year students, group discussions, Public speaking extempore, Formal dressing, Verbal communication exercise, body language classes etc At the end of that semester, the first company that came for campus interviews hired 30 students on the very first day. The company was TCS . The hiring manager said for the first-time students of Jhansi are talking in an interview, previously when they came for campus drives      students never used to speak.  Because of their poor communication skills they used to get nervous  and absolutely dumbstricken and so it used to be impossible to gauge their programming knowledge, their technical competence and  so they never got hired. Those students were brilliant boys and girls, with very high IQ. Imagine  In just 03 months of training their personality improved, image of college improved, and the IT company got employable productive workforce. So that is when I realised how powerful soft skills can be! Now,  Allow me to introduce our learned speakers . Himanshi Singh She served in the Indian Army and after leaving army she participated in beauty pageants and was crowned Mrs India. Vinita Dalal has been Additional Director Training in the Indian army. Diving directly into the discussion topic which is Understanding why Soft Skills Training is vital to the success of Individuals in ChatGPT times, why corporates desperately need to step in to fill the wide gap, and how educational institutions can do their bit.  Here I will introduce the term hard skills. … What are hard skills? And how are they different from soft skills?  In my understanding…..hard skills are more "along the lines of what might appear on your resume"    those degrees, diplomas, experience certificates etc  Where as soft skills are "non-technical, intangible, personality specific skills" ….These  determines your  strength as "a leader, listener,  a negotiator, or as a conflict mediator"  so basically You know technical skills may get you that dream job but to sustain there  and rise further you will need to lean in on soft skills. In podcast you hear Anecdotal evidence or experiential evidence or little snippets they Let us Go beyond our conceptual bubble and give us a much wider perspective on the topic. Capt Anubha Rathaur also participated in the discussion.

Mahamrityunjaya mantra is also known as the Triyambaka Mantra . Chanting of this Mantra releases a string of vibrations that realigns the physical body ensuring maintenance and restoration of good health. It is said to be beneficial for mental, emotional and physical health. This mantra is addressed to Shiva for warding off untimely death.  Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is a verse from the Rig Veda. It bestows longevity, wards off calamities and prevents untimely death. It also removes fears and heals holistically.  Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra Lyrics in Sanskrit and English. ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् | उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात् || Aum Tryambakam yajaamahe sugandhim pushtivardhanam | Urvaarukamiva bandhanaan-mrityormuksheeya maamritaat || The Meaning of the Mantra- We worship the three-eyed One, who is fragrant and who nourishes all. Like the fruit falls off from the bondage of the stem, may we be liberated from death, from mortality.| Repetition of the mantra constitutes Japa, the practice of which develops concentration that leads to a transformation of awareness. It is prescribed to chant the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra 108 times. The Vedic Mathematical explanation of the number ‘108’ is as associated with the distance of the Sun and the Earth and also the Earth and the Moon which is 108 times the diameter of the Sun and the Moon respectively. Word-by-word meaning of the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is as follows:  ॐ aum = is a sacred/mystical syllable.  त्र्यम्बकम् tryambakam = the three-eyed one  त्रि tri = three अम्बक ambaka = eye  यजामहे yajāmahe = we worship, we sacrifice  सुगन्धिम् sugandhim = the fragrant, the virtuous, the supreme being  पुष्टिवर्धनम् puṣṭi + vardhanam = पुष्टि puṣṭi = nourishment, wealth, perfection वर्धन vardhana = increase, growth  उर्वारुकम् urvārukam = fruit, a kind of cucumber इव iva = as (in devanagari written together as उर्वारुकमिव urvārukamiva)  बन्धनान् bandhanān = from bondage, from the stalk/stem  Note: bandhanāt here means "from the stem". Thus, read with urvārukam iva, "as a fruit from the stem"; the etymologically prior meaning of "from bondage" resonates here as the fruit is a simile for the worshipper being released from the bondage of death,  मृत्योः mṛtyoḥ = from death  मुक्षीय mukṣīya =may I be freed/released (become मृत्योर्मुक्षीय mṛtyormukṣīya)  मा ऽमृतात् mā 'mṛtāt = not (mā) from immortality (amṛtāt) (negative particle mā is constructed together with mukṣīya. the last two words become मा ऽमृतात् mā-amṛtāt)

tatsaviturvareṇyaṃ 

bhargo devasyadhīmahi


dhiyo yo naḥ prachodayāt
