TM Kamal
'My Life's Journey’

 TM Kamal started his speech by saying that his life was like a roller coaster ride, born in a rich family and fell in bad times. He was a good student in school but a college dropout. He met many new people and made use of tough times in looking out for options. Now, he is leading a pretty much good life and has gone all across the globes and had worked in 10 different cities. Initially, he wasn’t a good student but after the council of his friend, he started to study everyday and got placed in RC Trichy college of Engineering and became an engineer. He also took care of his father’s diamond business and prawnferm. He concluded saying that the ups and downs in his life has thought him volumes of lessons.

TM Dharan
'Large action isnt necessary’

TM Dharan started his speech by saying that Mirthula, a  pretty girl with a beautiful smile was an apple of my eye but lot of boys followed him like bees because she was a flower. Most of them were taller, stronger, smarter and sharper than me. He did not get any idea to win, so he approached his friends Romantic Raghu and Love Loghu and they give him a plot, “MISSION MITHU”. The first thing he has to do is join a gym and build muscles in 2 months. He joined gym with lots of expectations and he compared himself with Bollywood Salmon Khan to Hollywood Sylvester Stallone. A month passed and he wasn’t able to achieve his goal but suddenly he was enlightened by his Japanese friend Lin-d. He introduced Kaizen method to him which means small step and consistent improvement. He started his gym practices once again and after 18months he got the six packs but lost Mirthula. This big result in short time is the Mother of Procrastination and Kaizen method will help you to break this procrastination. He concluded saying that “Large action isn’t necessary”.

TM Sriram
'One moment’

TM Sriram started his speech by asking the audience to imagine him sitting in his Principal room, Sibhi, his friend thought him the art of copying and he invented under-book copying theorem. Eventually, he became the Guru of copying and carried out copying in an organized way and made sure that his paper passes even to the remote places of the class room. In his 10th Quarterly exam, he visualized himself getting caught for copying. During his 3rd exam (maths), his visual came true. His mother looked at him with shame. Tears rolled down from her eyes, he promised not to copy for the rest of his life and that one moment changed his entire life. He ended his  speech saying that he became a new version after that incident.
