Q1. Please describe yourself as a person.

What are your strengths and areas of

improvement (at least 3 each)? Cite situations to exemplify each.

I am Shardul Singh, I am from Mumbai. I was born in Indore itself. Though I never
spent more than a month in Indore I am very much aware about every culture and
other facts about Indore as it is my birthplace. I am a determined person who aims
to be overall successful in life. I have been and lived in many parts of India, I was in
hostel for my schooling from 5th grade to 10th grade which was situated in a forest
area near Vishakhapatnam which is in Andhra Pradesh. I am very much aware about
many cultures and traditions around India. I can speak and understand few
languages like Telugu, Kannada, Sanskrit, Rajasthani, Marathi apart from Hindi and
English. I have learnt basic levels of Spanish and Japanese. My hostel was a spiritual
type, we had all kinds of Yoga, meditation, pranayama, sandhywandan. So my point
of view varies from spiritual to scientific. I have interest in trekking, music, scenic
places. I like playing all kind of sports and my favorite is football. I like travelling to
new places and meeting new people.
I am going to tell you about my strengths and weaknesses. I believe that life is a
learning experience and being able to recognize our own strengths and weaknesses
can help us become better individuals in anything we choose to do, whether it is
positive abilities and skills that can help achieve our goals or negative personal
areas that need improvement.
One of my greatest strengths at school that I have recognized would have to be my
ability to be a well-organized individual. I tend to write what I have to do down on
paper and prioritize what is more important to least important. In doing this, it helps
me organize and accomplish my work and meet deadlines that are important.
Moreover, I am a good leader. I was an active class monitor who always motivates
my classmate to study by organizing the class study group. I always lead my
classmate to the right way. My personal strength is having good communication
skills. I meet and get involved with new people every day whether it is related to my
field or not. I enjoy speaking, listening and giving input to my team members so
that they are aware that they can count on me to participate as a team player. I
have positive thinking and I am very optimistic attitude. I am devoted and
self motivated for the work which interests me. I am honest and loyal to
everyone who acts in a same way to me. It is always good to be ambitious
about ones future and progress, hence I am ambitious. I can work pretty
well under pressure as I am myself an engineer. I have witnessed
situations where I have completed projects, tasks, preparation for exams
within few days and even within few hours. I am very enthusiastic and
energetic always, I am never idle and will do one or other thing whether it
is productive or not. And the biggest strength that I consider about myself
is being very congenial. I am very friendly and social with new people I

meet and I mingle very fast with them. I recently attended an art of
living course named Happiness course. Where I had met many new people
around Navi Mumbai, place where I presently live, and I grew really close
to most of them in just few days. We even did social service by cleaning a
portion of a park near that place.
Came with my strengths above, I also have few areas of improvements. As I said
above that I am very congenial. Hence I end up trusting new people easily and this
may not be fruitful many times as my trust could be betrayed easily and in the
tough situations. I even am over confident many times. I take up so many
responsibilities thinking I would be able to get them done and then end up realizing
that I was being over confident about it. I even have aggressive way of doing work
sometime. I dont think much about the beauty of work and just do it in haphazard
way and in a shabby way. Sometimes I even get irritated easily from something or
someone without even realizing the actual matter. I even consider being impatient
as my weakness, I feel restless if I am being held idle or made to do nothing or said
to wait for long time. These are few of fields where I lack perfection and I would
surely concentrate on these fields and improve in near future.
Above are the most of my or major strengths and fields where there are scope of
improvements. I try my best to overcome these weaknesses.
