Infosys Toastmaster 567th Meeting, theme:Astro-Logic

TM Meeting 567th
Live commentary from the Heaven
--------😯------😁------😑------😊--------

With the mark of the 31st day of May in Gregorian calender, the above the earth, the full house, Toastmasters celestial buddies' heavenly meeting, started with the rule elicitation by the guardian star, sergeant at arms TM Iftikhar.

The guardian star handed over the control  to the sun of the day, MOC TM  Ruhi who showed the path through his light of knowledge and wits to all the planets and stars to maintain their perfect astrological positions.

In it's first sol, i.e., prepared speech section the shining star TM Vedprakash broke his ice by emitting his solar energy from his inner core. Next we saw a shining moon in TM Anushree who audaciously displayed her love for sugar not a star with well traversed celestial research path.


The divine meeting rose to it's apogee in 2nd sol i.e., Table Topic round, that started with enchanting of Sanskrit Shloka, chanted by Leo TTM TM Mithilesh aka Pt. Omkar Nath Shastri. The zodiac sign based topics triggered both logical and mythological thinking of audience to their Galactic Core.

The third sol was well within its harmonic chart due to the precision measures taken by the Saturn of the day i.e., General Evaluator TM Priyadarshini who came along with her three moons Samaya aka Timer TM Sundar, Ketu aka Ah Counter TM Vivek, Rahu aka grammarian TM Santhosh who controlled Samay(time), Vani(voice), Niyam(rules) respectively with full star dignity. Saturn's other brother planets in the role of speech evaluators, TM Vignesh lauded TM Ved for escaping his inner space of fear on stage in his CC1 while TM Karan in his CC7 evaluation found sync with TM Anushree's sweetness. Particularly the positive involvement of TM Vignesh and TM Karan in commending the speakers was certainly out of this galaxy.

The holistic gathering culminated to its ingress as it elected TM Anushree as its Empress who  outshined as SuperMoon among prepared Night-Stars and  TM Suhas as Jedi Knight in the non predicted fight i.e. table topic round in which both the inner-planets (toastmasters) and outer-planets (guests) participated.





The congress decided to crown TM Mithilesh as Jedi master Yoda aka best role taker as he controlled the 'force within' most of the time during the meeting.

While decreasing in light, the magnum opus, the 567th TM meeting of Infy TM got its full eclipse by remembering its invisible planet Toastmasters who has converted themselves into dark matter and with the theosophy of Juno TM Yashwanthi.

Toastmasters Icebreaker Speech, CC1- A letter to all my fellow Toastmasters

As it happened, I gave my Toastmasters' competent communicator manual project 1 speech on 17th May 2016 at Infosys Toastmaster Bangalore. This was not the normal speech but a well prepared one. In fact it was the best effort I have ever put for any speech in my life. I have made more than 20 edits that brought script to 658 words from 1578 words. It also includes more than 200 dry runs in front of my mentor, family members, and friends.

Initially, I was stammering, fumbling and clutching, later I discovered my rhythm. When I heard one of the recordings of earlier dry runs, it sounded as if I have 'Laddoos' in my mouth :) . To difficult to comprehend. It might be due to my very long break from such activities. In the end, I broke my ice emphatically.

However, I rushed a bit and missed best speech prize from few votes. The takeaways is that there is never too late to break your ice in Toastmasters.

Infy Toastmaster 566th meeting, theme:Ghost Protocol


Let me report on the behalf of VP Ed Arijit.
Today's ghost rider meet,  started well on time with thunderous start by the dead sergeant TM Mithilesh in the insidious presence of Toastmasters and dreadful guests with a formal introduction by the madam president and the first lady Ghost TM Yashwanti...

The dieing baton was horrifically passed on to the MOC of the day, TM Priyadarshi who impressed all the ghosts with her conjuring and cajoling.

The prepared ghost riders TM Vertika and TM Raghavendra took us to Ladhakh and Kargil to have glimpses of the dead valley in there creatively terrifying CC2 journey.

TM Ganpati was horribly correct in depicting the mountain man Manjhi with his moving the mountain Ghost spirit.

The guest ghost TM Vidhi did a resident evil while breaking her menstrual taboo aghast-ly.

The real sergeant and horrific presenter TM Gurmeen impressed the Deadmighty with his creative ghosts. His table ghosts were dead flesh.

In the end, Ghost rider  TM Raghavendra and Guest  Tapash won the prized bones in prepared and on the table categories respectively.

The general ghost evaluator TM Ajay now the ghost forever, did a dreadful job in his one of the last ghost appearances.
His parting speech scared the ghosts out of us. We will miss you in all our deadly assignments.

The individual ghost observers really did a manly job by listening and commending the fellow ghost TM which we ghosts dislikes the most.

Specially, TM Anikesh who took double pain in listening the taboo and the mountain ghosts.

The funny ghost, TM Vignesh was at his horrifically best in commending the ghost of Kargil.

The another double trouble, ghost Gurmeen found bonhomie in the lady ghost TM from Ladakh.

In the end, our ghost Republic had decided to give a jaw-dropping gesture to the first leady ghost, TM Yeshwanthi for giving chance to our parting ghoul, the patriarch, ghost TM Ajay George.πŸ‘ΉπŸ‘ΊπŸ‘Ή

A special mention to the role takers ghost TM Ved who dared to teach grammar, and ghost TM Sundar who taught how to make foul cry with appropriate pauses, crutches and repetition.

Finally the ghost timer, TM Tara who dreaded to meter our time with his three horrific, colorful brooms.

This is how we ghosts met in our hellish den. Now, it's time to dine together in hell.
Have some flesh!πŸ€πŸ–πŸ—

Darkness


It's vast, it's Immeasurable,
It's endless, It's darkness.

It's unlit, it's unfit,
It's bottomless, it's darkness.

Life's boat sways in it
It's lifesome, it's darkness.
