Why Interviews Entertain Us



Interviews are always very entertaining. Sometimes to the interviewer, sometimes to the interviewee, and rarely to both.
At our Club, not only the interviewer and interviewee but the audience also enjoy the interviews.
The rule is simple: Everybody must be interviewed so that we get to know the Rotarian better, but old Rotarians do bossing and get new members-Rotarians interviewed.
We interviewed Umesh Rungta. He is a finance and strategy man. What’s his hobby? [No marks for guessing] he collects coins – old coins I mean. The oldest coin in his collection is about 200 years old! And his daughter has now taken to the same hobby.


Gopal’s interview evoked laughter when he was asked how his wife will describe him in three words. Gopal Khanchandani is a person who laughs easily – he answered sincerely. Veena nodded indicating he spoke truthfully.
Marriage stories – ‘how I met my wife’ – never stop entertaining people. I won’t tell you any here.
Amrita Koli described her journey from learning to make tea to a culinary buff. She is a physio and specialises in aqua therapy.
Interviews, I believe allow us to satisfy our one desire we will never admit to. It is about peeping in the other person’s life. And we discover that each person has a personality which is kaleidoscopic.
