Singh was the guest speaker at a ‘Soul Talk’ organised as part of the celebrations. Extending his greetings on National Hindi Day, he spoke about the inclusive nature of the language.
“Hindi is a democratic language. The Hindi we speak today is Hindustani, which has several dialects. Hindi is perhaps the only language that easily blends with other regional languages and dialects,” he said.
Speaking on the theme ‘Cinema, Time Cycle and Hindi’, Singh shared experiences from his personal and professional journey and explained how Hindi helped him build a successful career in communication and voice-over work.
Recalling a difficult phase in his life, Singh said there was a time when he was battling depression and searching for direction. It was during this period that he discovered the potential of his own voice and subsequently trained himself for voice-over work.
“Finding yourself is more important than finding your destination,” he told the students.
Singh also recited Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s celebrated work ‘Madhushala’ and encouraged students to remain focused on their goals.
During an interactive session, Singh urged students to return to the habit of reading books. He said people were reading fewer books in the digital age, limiting their exposure to new words and vocabulary.
According to him, having a rich vocabulary can help a person become a better speaker. He also stressed the importance of reading writers such as Oscar Wilde as part of management education.
Singh said language was closely connected with thought and helped people express themselves precisely while developing new perspectives. Language and communication, he said, could also help people become better individuals and find solutions during difficult situations.
He advised students to use communication to establish their presence, adapt to different circumstances and embrace continuous change. He also explained how language, communication skills and effective use of voice could help professionals perform better and make a stronger impact in the corporate world.
At the conclusion of the programme, coordinator Prof Satyam presented a memento to Singh. Dean (Academics) Prof Tanushree Dutta, other faculty members, officials and students were present on the occasion.
