HI!
After a long gap I attended the weekly SHG at Cubbon Park. As usual
it was a cloudy breezy morning out there. (Ghost of depression is refuse to depart)
Attendants : Soma – the coordinator, Pramod, Akash, Naman,
Bharat, Sharath, Hari Krishna, Balaji, Anita and Ruben. Amongst them Balaji is
the new entrant and came all the way from Hosur.
It began with Intro round and as I was late, could only catch up
with a few introduction. Everybody asked to follow a technique (e.g
Prolongation/bouncing/slow or whatever
it may be) to deliver the Intro. It was a ice breaker round for Balaji which he
did with guts and patience.
Next activity was Impromptu speech round, where each person had to
pick a topic (pre decided by Soma) by lottery. It started with Ruben and end
with me. The topics were Support,
Strength, Anything you like, Hard work, Time management, Driving force in life,
Motivation, Practice etc. As usual
somebody find it difficult to find the words and tried to finish it off asap.
Few done very well. We have lots of fun here followed by tongue twister round.
As a new candidate Balaji
asked for some tips. Naman advised him to emphasize on practice the
Prolonged reading regularly for at least 3 month to start getting results and
also refer ‘AHJ’ books to follow.
Next Pramod stand up and stress on to come out from the one’s
comfort zone and devote little time voluntarily in some other charitable
activity to get the inner strength and peace as well. It’s like help yourself
by helping others.
Altogether it was a happy and sweet end. Thanks to Mansi, in absence
also she makes her presence felt by
sponsoring sweets and biscuits.
Next Sunday the Grand SHG meeting will be held at the same venue
same time. Wish all the best for its grand success. Thank you.
Tapan.

Wonderful!
Yes, some people like Mansi, can do good even from distance..
Oh yes, can I please request Bala ji to write couple of paragraphs (or pages) about his experiences? To help him, I can give some leading questions: Why did he decide to come all the way from Hosur? Was the experience worth the trouble he took? What has he learned in the process? What will it take for him to start a SHG in Hosur?
He can write it out and someone in SHGBLR can edit and post it right here on this blog...with his photo.
Thanks in advance..
