The Ice-breaker


Dear Friends, 

Yesterday (16th November), I delivered my first speech (Project 1) in the Goa Toastmaster's Club. It was followed with a pleasant surprise, because it was later announced that I was voted as the best speaker of the day! It gave me a great deal of confidence to start my Toastmaster's career by having voted as the "Best Speaker". I was elated...

It was certainly a confidence booster. I have no words to express my gratitude towards my friends, my friends in TISA, and my fellow members of Toastmasters club for all the encouragement... 

Manohar, you pioneered the way to Toastmaster's. Mr. Jasbir Sandhu you took the same path and showed us that we all can excel in it... You both inspired me in my journey with Toastmasters, which I am now looking forward to continue...

Great job! But you should learn and practice "Block correction techniques" too. One never knows. If we go on a long driving holiday- and do not know, or have never practiced, changing a flat tyre or a spark plug- we are running a little risk!! You know what I mean! Because I have been stuck by the wayside, waiting for a passerby to help me with jack etc. once..

So, let us not be satisfied with fluency alone..There is more to communication..
