Toastmaster Carolina opened the meeting and gave us a Theme of "Gifts"
Word of the Day Aman explained his roll tonight and gave us "Blissful" meaning
great joy or happiness as our WotD.
Day in History Ryan-Jay gave us a long list of famous characters related to this day
in history eg. King James, William of Orange, Edward the V11, Louis V1
1st Speaker Sunjeet in his Icebreaker called "My Journey" pointed out hardly
anybody ever says his name properly and it wes even misspelled on his wedding
invitations. Sunjeet was glad the "other man" did not turn up at the wedding and marry
the "love of his life". He has a MSc in Computer Studies, married with two children.
Well done Sunjeet, an amusing afirst speech showing great promise.
2nd Speaker Jitendra with "Dance of Buildings" told us all about how buildings shake
during earthquakes. He used the analogy of the circular waves when a stone is thrown
into a pool of water to demonstarte seismic shock waves causing vibration which
makes buildings shake. Jitendra used a model to demonstrate the shaking phenomenom.
Excellent speech Jitendra. Well done.
3rd Speech Shailesh with "Inner Peace" talked about how our "ego-driven need
for success" precludes inner peace. "We need to learn to control our minds/emotions
to achieve Inner Peace". If we are stressed out "we need to let emotion come and
let it go" to avoid restless activity in the mind.
A thoughtful speech Shailesh. Very well done.
Tabletopics Master Elena took on the "gift" theme - "Yesterday is the Past
Tomorrow is the Future
But today is a Gift
That's why it is called The Present"
