Another great way of learning, and growing, is to participate in the various speech
and evaluation contests held every 6 months. Starting at the club level, members
have the opportunity to go up to the international level, and contest against
the crme de la crme in the Toastmasters fraternity across the world.
The contest season is around the corner now! I urge every member of MCTC to
participate in it. Winning does matter, but the participation itself helps one to
shackle the barriers of one's comfort zone and shed all inhibitions.
The last six months have been exceptional for us, where we have been able to file
the maximum number of education awards in District 41.
It gives me a sense of great achievement, as I step down from the post of the
President of MCTC, making way for fresh talent to steer the direction in which our
remarkable club is headed.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish the new President and his team, the
best of luck. We have elected the best team possible! May MCTC continue to rise
and shine, day by day. May we all keep celebrating MCTC's successes; one after the
other!
Here's to the best club in the world! Cheers!

President Shveta invited Mrs. Meenal Arora on stage. Mrs. Meenal delivered a
module on Effective public speaking.
She shared her journey as a public speaker, the challenges she faced and how she
has transformed them in to opportunities.
She started by asking the audience to pen down 3 things that deter them from
speaking as well as they want to in public - Fear of the unknown. The exercise
made sure the audience was aware of their phobias and how to tackle them as
they listened to the module.
She provided valuable insights and helpful tips:
- 75% of people fear public speaking.
- Expect Murphys law - Be prepared to face it. Enjoy it.
- Ask Questions about venue: Familiarity brings comfort.
- 3P s - Prepare, Practice, Perform.
- She warned against over-preparing/ over-structuring speeches.
- There needs to be enough substance in your speech. A good speech is like a
pencil, it has to have a point.

Next item was a skit. The participants in the skit were Shveta, Manisha Mehta,
Amit & Dipti. They took us through the journey of formation of MCTC, the
challenges of club, the current camaraderie of club. Through the skit, they
highlighted all the awards the club has won.
Toastmaster Rahul had put together a beautiful video of photos capturing the
journey of MCTC. Right from First EC to the recently concluded club-contests, from
Educational achievements to Team luncheons - the video covered it all. It was a trip
down the memory lane. He later conducted a Quiz basis the information flashed in
the video. Rahul handed the stage back to Event chair Shveta.
Up next there was a Fun Activity Session planned by Toastmaster Amit Gulati. He
had multiple activities lined up one after the other, which had the audience all
pumped up with excitement. All participants were given a bar of chocolate.

Save before you spend: Every penny
saved is, penny earned. Keep aside a fixed
amount of money every month for long term
investments. Systematic Investment Plan
offered by various financial institutions helps in
following a disciplined saving regime. In case
you are a salaried employee then Employee
Provident Fund is another very good long term
saving option.
4.
Take
benefit
of
available
tax
breaks: Income taxes can have a tremendous
impact on your take-home earnings. It is easy to
understand various tax benefits that you can
avail, by doing google search. Alternatively, you
can consult a Financial Planner to make sure
that you are paying minimum possible income
tax.
5.
Earn before you spend: Never spend your
money before you have earned it! Unless
extremely important try not to use credit cards
as you tend to spend more on credit. You
become more mindful of your expenses if you
have to spend only out of the available bank
balance and not from your future earnings!
Try out these simple tips and see a positive
difference in your personal finance!
