I was given an essay at b-shcool on effects of Indian reality shows. Ofcourse I criticized it and gave negative opinion about it as most of Indian reality shows are crap. My professor told me that in future you will be manager of some company and for a manager it does not look good that he openly speak negatively about something and criticize it. He added that does not mean I have to agree with something. If you disagree with today's reality show and if you believe that it has bad effect on society then you have to mention it as your view but you have to use assertive language. i.e. you have to disagree with something or someone or you have to critisize something very assertively and you have to use diplomatic language and not aggressive or negative language.

So pls tell me how could I have criticized the reality shows assertively or how could I have mentioned it bad effects assertively and diplomatically. I am supposed to give presentation again on same topic. So what assertive language I can use pls tell me.

In short its like standing your grounds (or thoughts) still being polite

I work hard but am not groomed and have poor communication skills. However compared to past years I have developed my grooming and communication but still not upto the mark. I am good at computers but not in communicating in public. I don't know to be super diplomatic and hypocrite which is a required skill (apart from qualification) in Indian corporate (don't know about foreign corporate). Sometimes I don't understand the politics. I have lots of problem in personal life too and this give me extra stress. I changed few jobs with a hope that other place would be better and politics free but problem is that it is everywhere in some or other way. My friend says that it will be everywhere till when you will run from situation

I am obese and have fat on my stomach but the kind of strech mark on stomach I have like a pregnant woman.

I also have stretch mark on sides of breast below underarms and in my inner thighs. If I lose weight will I lose stretch mark too? Will anyone marry me if they see such stretch mark?

I am Indian girl living in India. For some health reason, I wasn't working since last 2 years and now my saved money is finished. But thankfully I got a job which I will join from tomarrow. But my mom is not ready to give money for last time for hair color, shampoo and hair cutting. Thankfully I have atleast some dresses which are not so great but for one month it will do until I won't get my first salary. I have salwar kameez, cotton kurtis (long tops) and legins but don't have any jeans and sweater but will adjust for one month. But my hair don't look good. I need to color it to cover grey and need money for hair cut but my mom is so stubborn will not give me and I can't borrow from anyone else. I did heena to temporary cover grey but my hair roots look reddish.

Now in such situation how do I look presentable. As you know first impression is last impression. I can't do my hair but what are other ways to look presentable

When someone is capable to spend some more money and even they have received expensive gifts from you but still they don't reciprocate and give you cheap gifts and if you feel bad about that does it make you greedy

Its not about greed of gift. Here price of gift doesn't matter but you feel like they don't reciprocate you or value you enough that they find it necessary to know your choice or give something nice

Have you ever felt bad of someone giving you cheap or offensive gift

I went directly for interview without their advertisement. I just called up their company and asked if they have any vacancy. I did same with some other companies too

I was asked following questions

- why are you targeting our company when there are many other companies?

- We can see that you have experience in other industry so now why you want to enter bpo industry,

Well to be honest, i worked in other industry earlier but since last 3 years am not working. So in India it is difficult to get job with this much career gap. And I am in urgent need of money so want to get any job asap. So I though bpo industry would be a good catch. Because most bpo company are in requirements of professionals all the time. But how can I say this to interviewer - you can't call a fat person fat. Its like I can't tell them that bpo is easy try for me and I need any job urgently

But they feel like being experienced with other industry how come now I am interested in bpo industry

I want to decrease my breast size which is 42 inches and I am ashamed to have one

Disclaimer - don't say you are lucky and guys like big blah blah

I want to have 32 size - how do I reduce 10 inches from breast. Be it internet, magazine or anything - whereever you see there are lots of advice for women who have smaller breast but very few for women who is interested to reduce breast size - why?

I don't have any technical or management degree. I have done masters in commerce. I started my job with mid-cadre jobs and now working at bpo industry & getting good pay. And after getting one or two year experience when I will go to other bpo I will get more appraisal on my current pay. Money is biggest attraction in bpo... My other friend working in bpo gets very high pay. My qualification & some skills are still okay and not up to the mark that I can be able to apply for challenging positions like manager.

I don't have problem in working in bpo. But sometimes I hear taunts from people like - "Oh well so you are in bpo, its an easy catch" Some says - "hey you are in bpo, you are the same people who give tele-marketing calls to us and disturb us" Some advice - Bpo itself is fastest growing industry but its employees don't have growth oppotunities in long term except getting good pay

One of my friend told me that right now though you are working in bpo but don't continue to work for more than 2 years after that find job in other industry. Because if you continue working in bpo then in the long term it will affect your career badly and you will have no growth opportunity... But I seriously need opinion on this - is it really true that there are no scope for growth in bpo sector except getting good pay - And why is the social impression of bpo employees is bad - like sometimes you are looked down upon - eg: some think that you are not talented enough to get challenging job in other industry so bpo was easy catch for you & bpo don't need any talents

I eat Indian jain vegetarian food. Following is my diet

Early morning - one glass of hot lime water (without honey because I am vegan)

Breakfast - one cup cream free milk without sugar and one wheat khakhra (roasted chapati) without ghee and any fruit except chikoo, banana and papaya (usually apple or orange)

Lunch - 2 saucer size thin wheat chapati and 5 tbsp cooked vegetable (sabzi)

mid-noon - half cup tea

Dinner - 2 saucer size thin wheat chapati and approx 5 tbsp cooked vegetable (sabzi)

NOTE - I don't add ghee or butter in chapati. Vegetables are cooked with fortune sunflower oil and rock salt and other spices are added to it. I don't take salad except cucumber sometimes. I hate raw salad. I also don't take curd I hate it

> Chapati is kind of Indian flat breat or Indian tortilla made from whole wheat floor

I am living in India and Indians can be crazy and weird at times. Here when guest come to home then the best way for the host to show respect and love for guest is to make them eat and they assume that guest might be embarrassed to eat at their home so they often insist them to eat. I avoid going as guest to someone's home but how can I avoid socialising. Recently I went to party and they asked me to have cake and when I said I don't want they said why are you on diet? and they started laughing and then say forget the diet and you're not that fat. Just eat and enjoy and they (friends) put a piece of cake forcefully in my mouth and laughed. You may find it rude but for them its like a fun

At my office too when colleagues order snacks from outside they insist me to have and if I say no they ask lot of question and then make fun that I am on diet and then they jokingly says hey, forget diet, its one life and just eat and enjoy your life, etc. and force you to have food. Its very difficult and embarrassing to handle them

Also in India during any event or festival people make sure everyone have sweets because its a belief that during festive time or good event you should make your mouth sweet and if they notice you not having sweet they come to you and force you to have sweets. As if you're obligated to have sweet on festival.

Lastly every mother feels their child should eat maximum and they can't see their child not eating so my mom and grandmom keep insisting I should eat and when they make good food at home they try to make me greedy about it

I have primary hypothyroid and insulin resistence. I take thyronorm 50 mcg and glycomet 500 (which I take twice a day so total glycomet 1000) but my weight is now not increasing but not reducing either. I don't exercise however and eat junk food esp. pizza. But what can I do to speed up my metabolism

Is it really true that drinking water kept in freeze makes you fat and if you drink little lukewarm water whenever you're thirsty then it helps in losing fat

I have heard this rumour various time world will end in 21 dec 2012 and even movie 2012 was made over this but its already nov 2012 and till now no symptoms is seen for the world end after one month. I don't believe in this at all. Do you think its true?

NOTE - I don't want to propose anyone. I am just curious to know how people or society think or react about it.

Why it is believed to be only man's job to kneel down & propose woman?

Have you ever seen any girl kneeling down in front of guy and proposing him. How do you feel if you ever see such scene? Would it look funny or like a joke? Guys how would you feel if a girl kneel down to propose you - If you really like her but if she kneel down then would u reject her?

Being a women would you kneel down and propose a guy or just kneel down in front of him if you really love him and respect him. Would it look funny, weird or like a joke

If men can kneel down why can't women kneel down in front of men?

I am going to gym and they allow only 20 minutes because there are other members of gym too and they have 4 machines. So each member has been given time. I feel I should do it for one hour because its awsome exercise and gives exercise to my whole body. But gym only allow 20 minutes and my instructor says that 20 minutes a day is enough when you're doing other exercise too. Is it true?

I have joined gym and morning walk and improved my diet and I feel like my face become smaller, neck and area above chest become thin, my legs seems to slimmed down and seems like lost some fat from back and feeling light from inside but I didn't lose single inch from stomach, waist, lower ab and hips and breast why why why? Thats the main area I want to lose but losing from unnecessary part like face neck legs back etc. Why main area are as it is
