in Chennai in the year 2015. He gave an interesting narration on how he along with his neighbours
survived the flood situation.
11:00 A.M. – TABLE TOPIC SESSION
TM Shriram introduced the TTM - TM Sowmya.
She surprised everyone by introducing two different ideas for the TT session –“Films that Flopped” “News Makers”.
Participants were called upon to either rave about a flop film they had seen or talk about a news
maker either of TTMs choice or their own.
Though the session started off well, with more and more topics on news makers, speakers’ speeches
started drifting more towards politics, a taboo for any meet. The session later quickly ended on note reinstating members to stay away from drifting towards taboo topics even if they had to speak about a personality who happens to be in politics.
