hey friends
let me share with you a good, funny, scary and interesting experience I had today.
As I'm associated with Toastmaster Club for quite a few time, today we had a Demo Meet. Demo Meet is basically a meet when any institution wants to start a new club at their place and want help from other established clubs. One of my friend at my club told me that ST. Joseph's College is asking for help to start a new club. As this college is near my office, I thought it is a good opportunity and I should grab it and volunteer in this matter. A talked with the Team and took the role of Table Topic Master (TTM). The TTM has to give topic to speaker and they have to speak impromptu. This role I have not played earlier but I thought Let's Give it a Try. I prepared for my role last night only and decided some topics also.
In half day I left my office and reached the college on time. I was quite unsure whether I would do justice to the role or not. One more thing, I was expecting a crowd of around 10-15 people, but when I entered the hall where the meet was finalised, I was shocked. The hall was fully occupied and there were more than 120 students. "Man this is scary" I told myself. But I can't backout on the last moment. Finally I convinced myself "lets do this also".
Before my name was announced, I was afraid. But when I went up to the podium, everything got changed. I went, introduced myself , spoke, conducted an interesting session and also received a good applause. Here I should also mention that I was not 100% fluent, but I did my job and that too with ultimate satisfaction. After the meeting was over, a person from the team came to me and asked me "Do you have stuttering PROBLEM"? I replied "YES, BUT YOU NEED TO CORRECT, I DON'T HAVE STUTTERING PROBLEM, "I STUTTER" hahahahaha........
It was really a nice experience.

Its interesting and positive approach.. Stuttering being not a problem.. Just a fact..
Wow! Congrats Ravi... You are cured :)
Now, I am getting convinced that this stammerer is more intelligent than the normal population!! Yes, it needs a fine intelligence to see THROUGH your stammering- at the BIG picture. Most people are stuck in the early stages of: is there a cure? Should I go for that programme or this one? Should I tell? Why? ....
and the life is slipping away.
Keep pushing the envelop and keep sharing!
