Her lecture lifted the veil over literature in an entirely novel perspective on the three essential life skills-hard skills, soft skills and people skills. She said life can be beautiful and colourful when one knows how to manage oneself by giving a lively lecture through the humorous essays of Stephen Leacocks My Financial Career and G.K.Chestertons On Running after ones Hat.
