About Toastmasters International

Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Our organization
has more than 345,000 memberships. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of
the 15,900 clubs in 142 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations.
The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses and mentor others. These leaders
must not only accomplish, they must communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading
teams and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the
Toastmasters program. Every Toastmasters journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn
to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedbackand accept it. Through our
community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

called as Table topics. And finally we get a good brain wash from an observer
who gives his view on the meetings, in this session one leader from the panel
raises his voice on the prepared that took place today at the meeting, this panel
evaluation is interesting that is similar to the Chief Judges result at the biggest
event of the year.

speeches, where people in the outer world can join us for a toast or drink
with any of your advanced speech manuals you choose for the future. Our

No matter whether we are in 21st century or 22nd, we arent still out of
the gender discrimination or the patriarchy. Everyone ridicules Anushka
Sharma for Virat Kohlis bad innings,
but never saw anybody praising Anjali
Tendulkar for Sachins great performance.

Speeches, national anthems of two countries,
songs, felicitation and all
gala set the ballrolling
at the Eden Garden as
arch-rivals India and
Pakistan clashed in a
World Twenty20 match.
The event made 1billion
cricket fans rejoice and
despise!
Any idea who won? You are right and
wrong! The mens match was won
by India; whereas female cricket Pakistan won it. Pakistans Women Cricket Captain, Sana Mir said that men
tend to make better cooks than cricket players and that she was looking
forward to Afridi making biryani upon
his return home. I remember the day
when a reporter asked Afridi about
Pakistans Womens Cricket and he
replied saying women can make good
biryani.
Helen Blanchard was her name. The

Toastmasters International was commenced for men.
In 1920s, Mr. Ralph Smedley designed
TM for men, to improve their communication and leadership skills.
So, women werent allowed to be a
part of the toastmasters.
But as usual, all women got curious as to why only men are allowed
and why not women. So, there
cometh a confident female character,
who dressed up like a man and visited
Toastmasters meeting regularly.
She imitated men while talking, while
responding and while debating. So,
Helen became Homer and became
one of the best speakers in the District
and later a District Governor.
Well, there were few who doubted
Homers weird behavior like bringing
soup to meetings, over-organization,
and an eye for details etc.
Finally she became the first female President of the Toastmasters
International.

But, that paved the way

for infiltration of women to the
Toastmasters world, in the
year 1973. Today TM has
more than 2 lakhs female
members
all over
the world.
This world has had numerous men

and women who stood out and took
risks for the betterment of the women. May it be Susan B Anthony, the
woman who fought for universal suffrage or others who fought for womens right in general.
There are few such robust women in
our own land. Jyotiba Phule, a 19th
century activist, a social reformer,
critic of the caste system, founded
a school for girls, who started widow-remarriage initiative, and started
a home for infant girls to discourage
female infanticide.
Bhanwari Devi, a victim of gang rape
who pivoted in getting the most valuable law Vishaka Guidelines, dealing with laws against harassment of
women at workplace. Sunitha Krishnan, another rape victim who brought
Prajwala and works with the UN in
combating human trafficking and also
for the welfare of people with HIV
infection. Leila Seth, the first female
judge of an Indian High Court and who
fought for equal right for female in the
ancestra property in India.
Suchitra. A
All these females had one thing in common; they dared to make more
mistakes. They didnt mere relax or limber up. They took their dignity
and self-respect quite seriously. They took more chances. They did try
to climb more mountains and swim more rivers. They perhaps invited
more actual troubles, than living in an imaginary fairytale world.
They lived sensibly and sanely, hour after hour,

day after day. They had their moments, and if
they had to do it over again, theyd have more
of them. They lived just moments, one after
another, instead of living so many years ahead
of each day.
As one of the famous women says, that applies to all of us- If I had my
life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that
way later in the fall. I would commit more mistakes, I would speak up
more, and I would stand up for my own rights. I will scream for my own

Let me tell you a Story

Storytelling is the most A story will always be a
effective way of merging part of your life and you
meaning and emotions. will be the character in
it.
When I was a little girl, I loved to
wear a red pinafore dress, back shoes
and had my hair in pigtails. I ran
around the mulberry bush, sang twinkle twinkle little star all day long and
slept on grandmas lap listening to her
narrate tales of prince
charming
on a white horse. I would dream of
pixie land with fairies and dragons. I
had a wide span of imagination as
I knew no television, knew no cartoon, knew no books with pictures of
a prince charming in them. Grandma
narrated the stories and I painted
my own picture, in some paintings I
would be the damsel in distress, in
some paintings I would be the fairy
god mother.
My imagination taught
me to add emotions
into the stories that
were narrated; it taught
me that there can be
a land where I painted
pictures which sprang to
life, that land was called
storytelling land.
As I grew from pinafores to jeans I
stopped listening to stories, began
reading them. When I became a lady I
combined emotions and meaning and
wrote stories of my own. When you
trod into the stages of life your own
incidents become stories. You narrate
them to your family, to your friends
to your colleagues, sometimes to
your bosses too.
The speciality in stories are the

descriptions you create, making
the listener stand at the scene and
imagine the whole incident like a
recorded program. When I ask you to
come to my house, I will describe my
lane, the colour of my house which is
painted white with bold grey bricks
out lining the edges, large French
windows and a few plants which
drape around the wall, a red car
outside the compound. The next time
you decide to drop to my house you
can never miss it as I let you paint a
picture of it with my description.
The characters in your story play
a pivotal role as one perceives the
character through your eyes. If you
were to meet my dog Johnny, he is
a medium sized dog, black with a
white band of fur around his neck,
his soft paws are white and a red
collar around his neck accentuates his
smart look. Watch out as he is sly as
a fox, usually calm in nature when he
sniffs you, if he does not like you then
he would snap. If you are terrified of
dogs now you know who to watch
out for.
This is what a storytelling does to

you; it pulls you out of your comfortable chair and draws you to a completely new location with charters
drawn from your imagination. You
feel like you are in a world of the
teller and your walking his enchanted
path.
Storytelling is an art without a
reference the teller just narrates the
tale; the listener adds the necessary
emotions and picturizes the whole
plot.
Your grandmother may not always be
around to have you sleep on her lap
and narrate tales to you. Stories will
continue to flow and be a part of your
life and you will keep drawing them
on blank spaces of listeners.
Choose the plot,

characters and descriptions well such that
your listener lives in the
realm of your story.
-Chetana Patricia Lobo
The plot is that backdrop you set up

for your story. Describing that railway
station where a mother bides her son
goodbye. You talk about a railway
station with shoddy walls, multiple
neon digital boards with train arrival
and departure timings. The creeks of
the tracks, the stationed train with a
numerous bogies, a bunch of crowd
bustling in and out minding their own
business creates an amazing plot.
The next time you are at a railway
platform you will tend to notice the
details of the station.

Briefing on Visual Aids

On Visual Aids
Good Evening Toastmasters

and Guests
Using Visual Aids 7 Tips
Using visual aids can make
your presentations clear and
more interesting. But you
have to use visual aids carefully. People have become
bored by PowerPoint slides,
so you have to work hard to
keep them interested.
There are times when its best
not to use PowerPoint.
When it is helpful to use PowerPoint or other visual aids,
follow these
Tip2. Use visual aids

sparingly.
They are aids to your presentation not its sum and substance. Using visual aids is
meant tohighlight and support
your key points.
Tip 3. Avoid laser pointers.
Your visual aids should be so
clear that your audience can
easily follow along. Use your
hand, if necessary. (If you absolutely have to use a pointer,
set it down after you are finished. Holding on to it will
only encourage you to use it
for every point on every slide.)
Do you all know

7 Tips for Using what the
Visual Aids
effective usage
of visual aids is?
Tip 1. Plan your presentation before creating visual
aids.
Know what you want the audience to do as a result of hearing your presentation. Then
figure out what they need to
know to do what you want
them to do. Then create a simple outline that logically and
clearly develops your main
points. Finally, create visual
aids to support your message.

Do see any
visual aid with
me right now?
Tip 5. When you finish with
the visual aid, remove it,
cover it, or turn it off.
(See above.) When using PowerPoint, tap the B key and the
screen will go to black. Tap
any other key and the screen
light up again.

Tip 4. Explain the content of

the visual aid when you first
show it.
As soon as you show people
an object, they will look at it
even if youre talking about
something else. Dont make
them divide their attention.

KABALI DAA...
Kabali Special Meeting at Den A
meeting that went Krajini
When the meeting is about Rajini even
Gajini would remember for his lifetime.
Toastmasters and guests, exactly three
days before the meeting, the venue
manager called us and informed that
the venue would be closed this week
for some emergency meetings of the
management.
With five speakers, enquiries from
guests we wondered what to do. But as
it is said in Gita, Quran and The holy
bible, when the meeting is about Rajinikant, the whole universe conspires
to make it happen and so did it.
There is a Rajini within us who wants to

dream big and achieve things unreasonable and there is a critic within us that
keeps ridiculing it.
Its up to us if we want to go with the
logic or believe in Rajini and achieve
the impossible like Rajini did in his life.
The Emcee for the day Rohan, was absolutely on fire, generously pouring in
humor, wit and intellect.
The generally evaluator, Kaustubh, who
was still not free from the last night
hangover of watching Kabali introduced
the several role players and refered to
evaluation as Neruppu Da (Fire).
Our sincere thanks to Kaustubh who

got us The Rotary Club of Services as
the venue.
The first speaker Vishal presented a

project from the entertaining speaker
series which was hilarious to the core.
The meeting started bang on time, with

S@A setting the tone for the meeting
with powerful punch dialogues and
humor about Rajini.
A simple story of how he learnt driving

a two wheeler unfolded in ribtickling
humorous narration of three interesting
incidents.
President, Kishore took to stage and

spoke about how Rajini always does the
unbelievable.
His vivid imagery, that a girl who

walked upto him in the smoke of the
silencer looked like an angel in white
walking on the clouds.
He specially mentioned that believing

in Rajini makes life simple.
For example Americans still debate if
superman can dodge bullets, because
his skin cells have titanium infused
kryptonite resistant bioelectric repulsion;
On the contrary Rajini fans with no second thought believe Rajini can dodge
bullets, because it is Rajini and in case
if a bullet hits him that is because Rajini
wanted to donate blood to the bullet.
But on a serious note the president also
mentioned that on one hand there is
Rajini who does things illogical and unreasonable and on the other hand there
are these critics who keep ridiculing it.
The same happens with each of us.
His desperation not able to find the

brake, when the same girl asks to stop
the bike and he responds can you ever
stop something that you never started
in the first place.
When Im drunk Im awesome; If

someone says you are ugly, tell them
you are just a mirror and Delete your
ex, shutdown your crush and erase your
past were some interesting topics.
But the best was when Kaustubh shared
his insights from Geology that there
were more than 40 meteors that missed
the earth which were never predicted by
any intelligence organizations.
Any of them could have hit the earth
and we would been dust.
So while we could make plans and
goals, prove to people we are good,
be caught up in the viscious cycle of
creation, procreation and recreation,
family, ex and future all it takes could
be a one degree change in the angle at
which a meteor is approaching us and
we all would be gone.
So all we got is this moment Go sieze
itThe evaluations were clinical as it
was a panel evaluation where the panel
members both got and provided some
deep insights.
The meeting closed on a high with
Vishal and Kausthubh winning the
tickets for a Kabali show. Well that was
the rendezvous @ Den.
Next time dont miss it
-KVM KISHORE
The second speaker was Subhodeep,

with an interesting speech on assertive
speaking from the professional speaking manual.
He presented the various scenarios,
some valuable inputs from the concept
of conflict management and towards
the end was a surprise roleplay where
he assertively argued with his mentor,
Kaustubh about why he didnt approve
his script for a project.
The table topics by Bunty were both
amusing and profound.
