The newspapers and the internet are great resources. Then I write the questions that I want to know the answers to. For example, from his website, chappellway.com, I found out Chappell had done a lot of research on what makes champions. So I asked him about that.

In fact, before the interview started, we were chatting about expat life in Bangalore and what we miss about our respective homes. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, initially we were not sure if he would be rushed for time or if he had the inclination to sit and talk. We found out quickly that he was relaxed and from then on, I asked my Sujatha Bagalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02140274113596874518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13834351.post-1123474314205843392005-08-08T00:11:00.000-04:002005-08-08T00:11:00.000-04:00I was wondering how you found him as a person.

Seemed like you wanted to rush thru the interview without much follow up to his responses. Maybe it was not like that for the rest of the interview, but it seemed so from the first 2 questions and responses.<BR/>SourinSourin Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10403501269620049377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13834351.post-1123424859765112762005-08-07T10:27:00.001-04:002005-08-07T10:27:00.001-04:00And happy friendship day as well.:)And happy friendship day as well.:)Sujatha Bagalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02140274113596874518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13834351.post-1123424821684020512005-08-07T10:27:00.000-04:002005-08-07T10:27:00.000-04:00Wanderer: Thanks for stopping by and for leaving a...Wanderer: Thanks for stopping by and for leaving a comment...<BR/><BR/>Rajeshwari: Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Sourin: Absolutely welcome your opinion!
