Communication...
An Art...
The First Skill Acquired...
By A Human Being...
~~~
Communication is a key skill that shapes the way, the world perceives us, and also the way we perceive the world.
It is a stepping stone to the creation of a strong personality.
The first cry of babies?
It's the first sound into the world.
The first hint of language.
The first pointer to Communication...
~~~
Remember that chapter on 'Means Of Communication' taught to us in Standard III or IV?
The necessity to communicate that would make us a more confident and expressive individual?
Starting with Sign Language...
Moving On To Speak...
Learning The Alphabet...
Practicing To Write...
With Those 'Show & Tell' Sessions, At School...
Those Speech, Essay & Debate Competitions...
Those JAM Sessions At College...
And, An Eternally Inseparable Part Of Academics...
The Viva - Voce!!!
All these made me learn the art of Expression...
Turn to Articulation from Reticence...
Fine tune my personality to Oration than Silent Observation...
~~~
28 Years down the line into a profession that demands Communication...
Communication...
Communication...
And Communication 24/7...
It's the Teaching profession that has aided me to sharpen my Communication Skills...
And turn into an Effective Communicator...
Day By Day...
~~~
The endless interactions I've had...
As a Student myself, 30 Years back in time, with my Teachers, Professors & Mentors...
To those as a Teacher, at present, with my Students...
~~~
19 Years down the line into Parenthood...
The endless interactions I've had...
As a Mother to my Daughter...
~~~
It's All In The Name Of Communication...
And, Effective Communication At That...
That I've made myself the person I Am, Today...
Be it as the various roles, I get to portray each day of this Life...
Or, As a member of the Socially Aware Community of Homo-Sapiens, that I'm a part of...
~~~
I Owe It All...
To...
The Art, That Is Communication...
~~~
As for the difference in how I communicate differently Online than in person...
Online - You witness the Content, which transforms itself into Intent, according to what you perceive...
In Person - You witness the Content & Intent both, In Person...
