Availability bias It’s not a school exam. So performance alone isn’t enough. Most professionals assume that if you deliver great results, you will automatically move up. However, promotions also depend on how your contributions have been perceived. Understand the psychological principle of ‘availability bias’. Managers tend to promote those whose achievements are top of the mind. The best way to achieve this is to be co-located with your manager. Be sure to document your successes and share them strategically. For instance, send weekly or monthly updates to your manager, highlighting key outcomes. Communicate your achievements in the langauge that is aligned with your organisation’s current goals. Is the company focused on cost-saving? Talk about how your projects reduced expenses. Is growth a priority? Highlight revenue increase or new client acquisitions. Avoid arrogance. Frame your achievements as contributions to team success rather than personal victories to retain humility.

Kapil Sharma recently opened up about the profound impact his mother's resilience has had on his life following the loss of his father. Speaking on Zakir Khan's podcast, the comedian and actor delved into the emotional challenges his family faced and praised his mother as the «heroine» of their story for holding the family together during incredibly trying times. Kapil recounted how his mother managed to navigate life in police quarters while raising three children after his father passed away. Kapil shared that he often wondered about how she managed everything with three kids. He reflected on her unwavering strength and ability to handle difficult circumstances. At just 22 years old, Kapil and his elder brother were thrust into a world of responsibilities and hardships, but it was their mother’s determination that kept the family united. He also recalled the particularly tough period when they were forced to vacate their home for six months. Despite the adversities, his mother remained steadfast. Kapil added that his respect for her only grows when he thinks about how she carried them through those times.

Shalini Passi, the season's new entry from Delhi has become the unexpected star of reality TV show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives (FLBW). Since its release in mid-October, articles have been devoted to cuts of her blouses. Even Kapil Sharma gushes over her on his show, calling her a 'machhli'. In this post-shame world of reality TV, where everyone is letting it all hang out — from Victoria Beckham's WAG lifestyle to Dubai Bling's idle elite — it's intriguing to find someone who stands out by holding on to something resembling values. Passi's debut sees her descending a marble staircase in couture, dressed as Cleopatra no less, referencing ancient Egyptian iconography by holding daggers — even though she may not know that Cleopatra is typically shown with daggers only in death. The detail is telling: Passi resists the 'lady who lunches' label, though she may well be one. She trains in dance and singing, collects art, and even dabbles in painting — though her portrait of journalist Ruchika Mehta didn't quite resemble its subject. Perhaps she was going for something else.
