'Member with a reason'
|
TM Sowmya started her speech by saying that I'm
a mainframe developer who's working with Cognizant, not many know about why I'm
here with Toast Masters Club or what I'm apart from my profession. Born a
little late for children's day, Nov 15th , my tardiness trend has never slumped
with time. And I’m not exaggeration, my love for English as an language also
originated when I had to come up with stories to explain my belatedness. Though
I’m known for my good communication skills, I always felt that there is some
big room for improvement .Being a scorpion by sun sign, I am more a cynical
critic to me than anyone else. So, I started pushing myself in volunteering for
anchoring events to keep my fire for English prowess alive. And that’s when I
found out that I had to hone my ability to deliver a speech that would be
rhetoric and powerful. She conclude saying that that’s why I am here at the
club that nurtures peer improvement in communication and leadership like no
other club.

'The coveted cover shot'
|
TM Siddarth started his speech by saying that Afghan girl is a 1984 photographic portrait by
journalist Steve Mc Curry which appeared on the june 1985 cover of National Geographic.
The image is of a young woman Mona Lisa with green eyes in a red headscarf. He feels so
blessed to get an opportunity to meet his favourite politician. It was women’s Day
celebration. The meeting started 2 hours later. Criticism varied in tone and sarcasm. Media
grew restless because the most awaited leader hasn’t turned up. Finally the man arrived and
photographers struggled to take a snap. Surprisingly, the layout artist made his picture as the
cover picture of magazine. He concludes saying that ‘This is the beginning’.
