(Courtesy: pexels.com) 

Chetan Bhagat is an Indian author. He writes novels. I learned about him when his first book called ‘Five Point Someone was a massive hit. I got the book from one of my friends. He did not read any novel. But, it was so hit in our time, and he got a copy and read it. Knowing me as a novel buff, he told me the story and offered me the book. I got it and read it overnight. Later on, he wrote many other novels like ‘Three mistakes of my Life’, ‘Two sates’, ‘One night at a call centre’, ‘One Indian girl’ etc. These novels have been turned into major Bollywood movies like ‘Three Idiots’, ‘Two States’, etc. They were pretty hits. He is still writing and engaging people through various social media platforms. As an engineering student and former banker, Chetan Bhagat offers valuable advice. One day, while scouring his YouTube profile, I stumbled upon a video of him on networking. Being associated with T & P activities, I was very interested in the video and watched it.  

In the video, he talks about the importance of networking and how his networking helped him to get into Bollywood films. One should keep in mind that if one has a great story, the next logical thing is to convert the story into a movie. In our context, we can apply the same principle in everyday life. We need to extend our network. Now a day, people say that network is net worth. It is quite right. Specifically, students have to meet people in their relevant field of interest and develop it. It has many benefits such as information sharing, references, etc.

Besides networking, he goes on to how to network and communicate while networking. We know that social media is excellent for networking. We have Facebook for informal ones and Linked In for formal ones. Chetan stresses learning the craft of talking with people. He tells people to ask simple questions about their home town or jobs, career, education to start a conversation. Once you strike a conversation, one may ask follow-up questions judging the directions of the conversation. People love to talk about themselves, and nowadays, nobody likes to hear nobody. Once you master the art, you become a master in networking without giving away much of your information. Here is the video you can watch:
