Dear Naresh,
I can understand your anxiety and can only assure you that all this is temporary. The only thing that you have allowed to happen is that you have permitted your past interviews to come and haunt you, thus degrading your present. It can happen to anyone. So first and foremost, kindly dispel all fears from your mind that you lack something and do not blame yourself for the same.
As suggested by all the much more learned friends above, the first step is to get your confidence level up. Try doing this:
1. Read about any topic of your interest, prepare a gist.
2. Now, when you are free in your room/place of stay, stand in front of a mirror, look yourself in the eyes, and start talking about that topic. Keep your attention on the person looking back at you.
3. On the first go, you may find it a bit awkward, but after a few tries, you will hardly recognize the person looking back at you.
The above exercise will not only make you less self-conscious but will give a tremendous boost to your confidence and improve your public speaking.
Once you have mastered this part, start jotting down all probable interview questions and your answers related to your field. If you have a small recorder, feed in the questions one by one. Having done that, sit down at an appropriate time with the recorder and play the first question and stop. Start by answering it yourself. Continue until you have gone through all - with about 5 years of experience, you would be knowing most of the answers. For doubts, I am sure you can consult your friends, seniors, etc.
There is no doubt that the more you practice, the smoother your flow will be. Gradually, start twisting these questions as you deem fit and get your answers - you will be surprised at your ingenuity.
In addition to what I have mentioned, follow the guidelines as given by the other members, and you shall overcome all hurdles.
Wish you all the best!!

Dear Naresh,
I hope you're now following the suggestions given above by our expert friends. To add on, I'd also like to say that to be fluent and comfortable in English, you need to keep speaking English with your friends, colleagues, family members, and whoever you meet. Please do not feel bothered or shy while speaking in English. After all, practice makes perfect. So, please read and practice every morning and evening whenever you're free; English grammar, newspapers/magazines (read aloud). Also, try to write something that interests you in simple English, perhaps related to a story, your company's admin policy, etc. Listen carefully to how your office colleagues, friends, relatives, or other people speak so nicely, and then try to speak in a similar manner. Forget about the tense and grammar you are using while speaking. You will automatically improve in all those areas once you are fluent and start speaking in English. After all, English is just a language. You must have some friends/colleagues who can speak many languages. Do you know how they learned? Because they tried, practiced, or else, the community or environment in which they were brought up belongs to people speaking that particular language. Hence, you need to create an English-speaking environment for yourself.
Wish you all the best!
Thanks and regards,

A lot of organisations have the practice of celebrating occasions in office in the form of employees’ birthdays, special days, festivals etc. While such initiatives do not have a long term impact on employee motivation but they surely work very well on a short term basis. This brings employees together and out of their work desk. It also create excitement at the work place and break the routine.

In the workplace, we all know that monotony can arise at times, as most of us are required to do similar jobs, assignments, or tasks on a regular basis. Employees often find themselves at the same work desk, using the same laptop or computer, accessing the same pantry, and interacting with the same colleagues repeatedly, at least five times a week. Breaking this monotony can serve as a refreshing change. HR may facilitate occasional changes to disrupt the routine and introduce some variety in these aspects.

All communications have limited spheres, but the communications of politicians are all-pervasive. Can we then observe which political party's communication is most effective as of today? In my observation, it is the Indian National Congress.
Who are the politicians whose communications are most effective? In my observation:
1. Nitish Kumar
2. Narendra Modi
3. Sushma Swaraj
These people are facing interviews every now and then.

Dear Naresh,
Apart from the suggestions provided above, you could make it a point to read loudly the editorial of the newspaper, especially The Hindu newspaper. Also, try to speak only in English when you speak at home and among your friend circle. People may laugh at you, but learn to ignore them. This way, you will develop the confidence to use the language.
All the best.
