Speaking practice on Skype

Goodbye Hi all, Since today is my final day here at Viteos / Intertrust, I wanted to send along a quick note to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed my time here. I know it is too soon to say goodbye to a person who had joined the company just nine months ago. When I joined the team, Private Equity was uncharted territory for me, but I really appreciate Shashikala and Kavita Shetty for giving me this opportunity to prove my mettle. This opened a new door for me to learn fascinating things about PE, I learned loads of things from my colleagues & seniors – Prasad, Trilok, Nayan, Hitesh, Gaurav, Kashyap (ex-employee – Kar lege na bhai...!!), Swaraj, Vikram, and Naresh. I really appreciate my team for helping me and being there when I needed them. I enjoyed being a part of the team and had so much fun. I had thought it would be difficult to work in a nightshift, but you guys made it possible. So, the credit goes to you for fostering a nice working environment. I also won’t forget my manager, Srivatsan (He says – “I love Private Equity” a lot). He is very humble, knowledgeable, and a good storyteller. If you stay close to him, I am sure you will gain great PE knowledge. Anyway, it is time to say goodbye without further ado! Wishing you all the best, Kamlesh Rathod

Learning a language Learning a new language can be a fun experience for some people whereas, some people find it daunting. There is no logical explanation of why some people are so good at learning a new language. They learn it so fast as if it is there second nature. On the other hand, others struggle a lot to be fluent in a language. It is said, children can learn any language easily as their brains are not fully developed compared to adults. The reason behind that is an adult's brain holds loads of complex information. But, I have seen a 65-year-old man learning the German language who later became fluent in the next six months. So, there is no rule set in stone. I think anyone can learn any language at any age if they are serious about. It can be difficult at first, but then, you will see magic if you continue with your adventures. Many people start learning a language by learning grammar and basic vocabulary. I call it a first baby step. But you cannot completely rely on it, else learning will be boring and it won't get you anywhere. It is like buying a ticket for nowhere. Find a thing which interests you or motivates you. If you like sports, follow it in that language you are learning. If you like watching movies, why don't you try to watch a movie in that language? You never know you may come across something interesting. In the nutshell, try to spice up your learning by adding a little flavour of your likes. These days, learning a new language has become easier and convenient because of the internet. You just have to click and the whole world is open for you. You can find a language partner and if you are lucky enough, you will end up meeting a native speaker who can help you with your pronunciation and tell you a lot about their cultures and traditions. Don't you think that would be awesome? So, what are you waiting for? Embark your journey right away....because there is never late to learn anything new.

How do you deal with conflicts?

Do you prefer shopping online or in shops? I don't like shopping much. But not shopping is not an option for me. I have to get fruit, vegetables, groceries regularly from shops. Nowadays it is easier to get stuff online rather than visiting shops. It is amazing because it saves a lot of time and energies. Though there are numerous benefits of shopping online, there is some risk involved in it and because of that, it discourages some people from buying things online. I can absolutely understand why some people are not comfortable when it comes to online shopping. There are more than a few reasons and we cannot ignore them. First of all, there are chances that the product which they see online, will not exactly match in terms of colour, size, and features. Secondly, the products which are sold on the sites are not all from certified dealers. It may not fulfill the expectations of the buyers. Last but not least, there is no personal touch when you go online shopping. Buying things on the internet has definitely become popular among young people. It gives them a virtual platform where they can compare a wide variety of products by price, brands, and features. This is an excellent concept for working people who hardly get time to shop. This has made their life easier because they don't have to shop around. The product is simply delivered at your doorstep and they give multiple payment options from cash to bank payment and they also provide EMI options on some products. So, you don't have to wait for too long if you don't have money at the moment. You can choose installment payment at certain fees which works for some people. In my personal opinion, online shopping is very helpful, but when it comes to buying vegetables, fruit, milk, and stuff like that I would prefer to pick them up myself rather than some strange person picking up for me. It is not that I never tried it, but I had some bad experiences and I learned my lesson.
