Lecture Report:- ' Communication is life' 'Life without communication is tragedy'. With this great thought the lecture began by Dr. Benjamin Sukumaran. Benjamin explained how important communication is in life. And to communicate better one should have awareness of cross cultural, if not it would be a barrier for communication. "Communication is a process of response to a stimuli on the flat form of culture. " For communication Physical i.e. the Sound body is important secondly the expression and Thirdly acceptation. If intake is good means outtake will be good. There is stimuli everywhere but one should response. Every one's will power is some where one should realize and the will power should realize and the will power should not wasted in judging, but by learning, by understanding etc. EQ matters everywhere. And with an example of, A rich boy and poor boy who were his student 3-4 years ago and their problem and success story of them to Librarians communication is first because they are people to solve or to give the solution and not creating problem by more communication. He must be good at English because Librarians First nature is Enquiry, Second nature is confirmation and Third is Service. Librarians will be there until education is and Books are Source of Information, Travelling is Confirmation. "Fishes in River never get Thirsty". Thus one should identify his strength and weakness in communication and there by to overcome from it reading, learning and better hard work.
