Question 1 is looking for you ablitiy to be comfortable and be able to communicate with confidence....SOOO talk about something that you are confident with. Perhaps a hobby you enjoy.
Question 2, you dont ever want to bad mouth you previous employer so say something like you are looking to gain new experiences, or looking for a company that can offer you more opportunity to move around into other positions... Whatever your reason for leaving is. IF you don't get along with your boss you can use one of my suggestions.
Strength and weaknesses: Those are always the tough questions. Who wants to admit they are weak?
This give the interviewer an idea of personality.
Take a while to really think about what you want to say for these. Write down your answers. Get a couple differnet ones even so you will have a choice of what to talk about.

2. I would like to retreat to a quieter job that requires less people interaction than my current job. Though my current organization is quite good but it does not have enough scope to try for other kind of positions.
3. I am a good observer and quite a details-oriented person. I am good at keeping records and note everything down too. I am often seen by my peers as a mediator and good communicator and am sure that I can be quite useful in coordinating different teams. My weakness is that that I cannot control my temper sometimes. I can help a person who wants to listen but I begin to loose my patience if a person asks the same thing 20 times. I am trying to use some anger management techniques and some of them have really helped me out.

well introduction should be short and simple but with confidence as this is the first thing they ask you and judge you
What Are Your Greatest Strengths and Weaknesses?
by Carole Martin
Monster Contributing Writer
Marie is about to interview two candidates for the customer service manager position. Her candidates are Francine and William. As always, she plans to ask about their strengths and weaknesses.
Francine answers the question, "What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?" with, "My strength is that I'm a hard worker. My weakness is that I get stressed when I miss a deadline because someone else dropped the ball."
This answer is unimaginative. Most people think of themselves as hard workers.
William has difficulty with the question. "I really can't think of a weakness," he begins. "Maybe I could be more focused. My strength is probably my ability to deal with people. I am pretty easygoing. I usually don't get upset easily."
This answer leads with a negative, and then moves to vague words: maybe, probably, pretty and usually.
So what is the best way to answer this question?
Assessing Your Strengths
Assess your skills, and you will identify your strengths. This is an exercise worth doing before any interview. Make a list of your skills, dividing them into three categories:
1. Knowledge-based skills: Acquired from education and experience (e.g., computer skills, languages, degrees, training and technical ability).
2. Transferable skills: Your portable skills that you take from job to job (e.g., communication and people skills, analytical problem solving and planning skills).
3. Personal traits: Your unique qualities (e.g., dependable, flexible, friendly, hard working, expressive, formal, punctual and being a team player).
When you complete this list, choose three to five of those strengths that match what the employer is seeking in the job posting. Make sure you can give specific examples to demonstrate why you say that is your strength if probed further.
Assessing Your Weaknesses
Probably the most dreaded part of the question. Everyone has weaknesses, but who wants to admit to them, especially in an interview?
The best way to handle this question is to minimize the trait and emphasize the positive. Select a trait and come up with a solution to overcome your weakness. Stay away from personal qualities and concentrate more on professional traits. For example:
"I pride myself on being a 'big picture' guy. I have to admit I sometimes miss small details, but I always make sure I have someone who is detail-oriented on my team."
Scripting Your Answers
Write a positive statement you can say with confidence:
"My strength is my flexibility to handle change. As customer service manager at my last job, I was able to turn around a negative working environment and develop a very supportive team. As far as weaknesses, I feel that my management skills could be stronger, and I am constantly working to improve them."
When confronted with this question, remember the interviewer is looking for a fit. She is forming a picture of you based on your answers. A single answer will probably not keep you from getting the job, unless of course it is something blatant. Put your energy into your strengths statement -- what you have to offer. Then let the interviewer know that although you may not be perfect, you are working on any shortcomings you have.
and you mostly leave your current organisation for better prospects

First...You always sell yourself...Always! Why do you want to leave current job> You feel as though you have outgrown it, and are looking for a position that will allow for both personal and professional growth....
Strengths? Whatever they are and weaknesses? Try to inject a touch of humore. I have answered that question by saying, chocolate is my only weakness....
