Malkiat Singh Bindra Chief Editor

It is our great pleasure to present the July Issue of Images to you. The month of July is marked as the beginning of a New Year as for the Toastmasters.

As the new EC kicks in giving due regard to those leaving the Executive Committee, set-ting new goals and plans to achieve them. The new EC is very much on track with De-vesh who joined only 6 odd months ago completed his CC, the first CC of this new year.

Our very own Deepak Menon, the district governor of district 82, has contributed to the goal achievement of his home club by giving his CL to us.

The EC is not far behind in helping. The newly elected President of our club, Shraddha Nakra, is also over with her CL, completing another DCP goal.

To add to that, Toastmasters international has announced that our District, i.e. District 82, has come on top and been selected the BEST DISTRICT in the World.

President Speak

I would like to congratulate the newly elected EC and at the same time thank our members on behalf of the entire team for having chosen us. I think being an EC member is a huge responsibility. I want to foster all the responsibilities that come my way, and in Martin Luther Kings words, “I have a dream” a dream to see this club grow, a dream that our club stays true to its slogan of being always ahead! JPKU is a club everyone looks up to. A club that is associated with huge names Deepak Menon, Vinay Jain, Jyoti Narula, Ritu Arora, Rachit Kaul who are all so experienced and have gone a long way as toastmasters, somewhere we all want to reach someday! Just the thought of being asso-ciated with this JPKU TMC brings a smile to my face. JPKU TMC has been a presidents distinguished club for 3 years, having met all 10 goals for 2 consecutive years, if I begin counting the club’s endless achieve-ments this newsletter will turn out to be as huge as a novel.

Date – 12th July 2009 Day – Sunday Venue – Rishikul International School, Dwarka. Occasion – Officers Training Program. Sunday! The only day of the week, when I don’t do those things I plan. But this week was different. I planned to attend the Officers Training Program. I got up at 12 and found that it was in Dwarka. I love driving there but not going there. Driving; because the roads are good to drive on. Going; I go there and I get lost. After taking 3 wrong turns and then by some means, I reach there. I have never been so elated to see Nikhil Sheth. He was helping at the Registration counter. I got the registration done for the role of VP Public relation and went downstairs where the Meeting was supposed to take place. Then I came to know that The President of our club, Shraddha Nakra, has also lost her way. I am not the only one. But the VP membership came to rescue and guided her to the venue, Rishikul International School. By the time all of us settled, the meeting had begun. We were all welcomed to the OTP and congratulated to have made it. Well, it wasn’t just Shraddha and I who got lost. Then, the stage was taken over by the Division I Governor, Vinay Jain. He did what he is perfect at; Mathematics and Percentages. He informed everyone about the results of the previous Term. How well everyone did, how many goals were achieved, how many new clubs were added in the previous term, and other important things. Then the stage was taken by the newly appointed Division Governor, Deepak Menon, who shared his vision of the Club. And then it was informed by Triple DTM Deepak Menon that our District is lead-ing by almost 40 points and will make it to the top again, which brought pride in everyone’s heart present there. And being in EC, motivated everyone present to make this term successful.

I attended the VP Public Relations training. It was conducted by Tara Pillai. The training module was handled brilliantly, giving us a deep insight into our job. It was very educational and removed every doubt I had in my mind about my role as the VP-PR. When the training program was over, there was a small Tea Break. But I don’t think tea was served. Well, I can’t be sure. I couldn’t have anything because my training session lasted much longer than others. And all I could see was empty plates and empty bottles. After the tea break was over, we were asked to go to the basement again for filing the Goals for the term ahead. When the meeting started again, Nareesh Kantoor enlightened every one on how to come about the process of becoming a Distinguished Toastmaster. He also explained about the numbers of goals to be achieved to become a President’s Distinguished club. In all this, the clubs present were asked to fill the goals they have set for the term ahead. President of our club, Shraddha Nakra, filled it and forwarded it to the Area Governor, Paul Holmes. After all this, certificates were presented to the toastmasters who volunteered to serve and make this OTP a Success by Division I governor, Ashok Meghani. (They were also given a Dairy Milk). In the end, division C Governor presented a vote of thanks to all present. VP Membership Nikhil Sheth shared the Chocolate with us. But it was not as sweet as it is always. Because we couldn’t have 4 members attend the OTP, our club lost a point, which means that we can not make it 10 on 10 for 3rd year running. However, it all made to a Great and non forgettable Officers Training Program.

Heath Ledger Comes Alive

"To accomplish great things we must first dream, then visualize, then plan... believe... act! ”

- Alfred A Montapert.

The meeting began with the installation of the new EC, marking a new beginning a new chapter in JPKU TMC's books. But that day it was not just that...we had a speech from Nitish P., guest speaker from Gurgaon Toastmasters. While many speeches involve use of visual aids, this was the first time we saw the speaker use himself as a visual aid! It was like Heath Leger in the very flesh had come out of the grave and joined us to give yet another spell-binding performance! Whilst portraying the joker, Nitish delved into the character behind the joker, and shared the life and times of Heath Leger, the actor who though having perished himself shortly after the Batman movie, immortalized the villain and set a bar for future adaptations of comic book characters that few will be able to cross. By the end of the speech, whether we were thrilled, amused or simply scared out of our wits, we had no clue. I guess it must have been a bit of all three!

Eureka! Importance of Attending Toastmasters

As he sat down, little slips started flooding in towards him with comments he could never have thought. He got a great evaluation and also won the “BEST SPEAKER AWARD”. When Thomas came home, he was happy and relieved. He was happy because he got the “Best Speaker Award”. And he was relieved because 1. He had no doubts if the other toastmasters would like it. Because they loved it. 2. He had a handful of motivational slips which are given to the speaker by people who wish to comment on the speech. 3. Everyone appreciated his work. 4. The other toastmasters were open to his thoughts. DO You see yourself in instead of Thomas. Do you all realize what was the influence of good audience presence on his confi-dence and pride. Do you think that he would have left in the same manner if there were not many people in the meeting? The members play a vital role in the development of someone as a public speaker. They have to be motivational, support others and be open to someone else’s thoughts. So if you see yourself as Thomas, you also have to be a part of the audience. This is because they were a more important factor than just what Thomas wrote and presented on the stage. Not only do toastmasters motivate others, they take with them the thoughts and views of others as well. So if you see yourself in the shoes of Thomas, you also have to play the role of the Other toastmasters…

“Eureka” said Thomas after finishing his Project. He knew he has come up with the best speech of his life. He was happy for himself. He couldn’t wait for the meeting to come. He got his slot from the VP ED. Requested one of the Veterans to evaluate the speech, because he knew there would not be anything to recommend, only commenting. He was curious to know how the other toastmasters would take it. He rehearsed many times, but still couldn’t figure out how the audience will respond to it. He saw the agenda for the meeting. He found that there were 4 other speakers speaking on that day as well. If it was any other speech by Thomas, he would have dreaded competition. But this was different. He liked the com-petition. For the first time he was upbeat to have competition. He slept knowing that he will have the audience throwing roses at his feet, and he woke up with the same. He even dreamt of winning the “Best Speaker Award”. But there was fear too. “What if everyone Hates it?”, “What if I forget what I have written?”, “What if someone else has come up with something better than this?”, :What if I overshoot the time?”. All this couldn’t have been answered right then. He was next up. He read the speech for the last time. Finally his time came. The Toastmasters spoke his name. Then it was just music to everyone’s ears. The speech was Amazing. Every step as he practiced. Every voice modulation as he planned. Every word came out right. Every sentence, every word he spoke was woven into something Brilliant, something fascinating. Just as he was over, every one in the room stood up to their feet and started applauding as loud as they could. He was brilliant, just outstanding. As he sat down, little slips started flooding in towards him with comments he could never have thought. He got a great evaluation and also won the “BEST SPEAKER AWARD”.

“Speech is conveniently located midway between thought and action, where it often substitutes for both. ”

- John Andrew Holmes.

WOW Workshop

This fun and learning would not have been possible without some dedicated hard work by Paul, Maheshi and Nagaraj. Thanks a lot for all the effort you took to make this a spectacular event - the best yet in District 82! Division F Governor Venkata with his team - past Area Governors Deepak Mittal and Arun Sridhar and present Area Governors Archana Kumar and Mubeen - were hosts extraordinaire! They facilitated the logistics, accommodation, transportation and sight-seeing with unmatched zeal and coordination. With such a team at work, Reverbera-tions 2009 in Hyderabad this November is an event to really look forward to! Division F, I salute you! My final note of gratitude is reserved for Past Area Governor Jayanthi Kasarla who provided us the venue for the workshop at her office, Synopsys India. She ensured that we had all that we had asked for and more - superb facilities, the handouts prepared in advance and the mouthwatering lunch on both days made the entire experience a pleas-ure! Its now for all of us to take the next step across this bridge of learning that we devel-oped in Hyderabad. We need to become the bridges in our Divisions, Areas and Clubs to help disseminate our knowledge to our members. Together we can achieve our dream of building the standards of speaking in District 82!

Twenty nine Toastmasters representing the length and breadth of District 82 came together on 18th July 2009 at Hyderabad for an unforgettable experience of learning, excitement and bond-ing! The two days workshop was expertly and professionally crafted by Speakers' Pool Chairman Paul Holmes. The faculty, consisting chiefly of Paul, Speakers' Bureau Chairman Maheshi Premasinghe and LGET Nagaraj Rao, were instrumental in changing the perspec-tive and attitude of the delegates towards what makes a good speech great through a shared process of discovery. Working through a vari-ety of techniques to aid quick understanding and absorption, the fac-ulty made certain that interest levels never flagged whether it be a post-lunch session or a session at the end of the day. Sessions in-cluded those on the message, language, humor, storytelling, memora-bility, choreography, mentoring and judging. A final session on brain-storming of how this learning could be implemented across the Dis-trict provided meaning to the two days. Despite so much packed into it, the event ran like clockwork thanks to Paul's meticulous planning. While it was the workshop that kept us busy during the day, it was Hyderabad's night life that beckoned us in the evening! The amazing laser show at the Lumbini Park is one experience which will remain etched in my mind. Pubbing at the Outswinger or Ten Downing Street, “Biryani” at the Para-dise Hotel and the midnight buffet at the Marriott were just some hot spots for the visitors!

"Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead: therefore we must learn both arts.”

Toastmasters is a forum which allows you to speak your heart mind out. Do you agree? Yes, it definitely does. In Toastmasters one can speak on any topic one likes. One gets to share his ideas and opin-ions in front of an audience which is open to new perspec-tives.

Your first speech was a typical Ice Breaker. You go on the stage, start with the speech, get nervous, take a long pause and start again. Do you think there has been positive change after joining toastmasters? There has been significant improvement in my public speaking skills since my ice breaker. I think the concept of 10 speeches at Toastmasters is amazing. Each speech asks the speaker to focus on different aspects of public speaking. As a result, a person who finishes his 10 speeches is many times better than one was in his/her ice breaker. In my first speech I felt uneasy, but after a couple of speeches that uneasiness melted away; and gestures, voice modulation, body movement etc. started coming naturally. You just completed your CC. How do you feel? I feel a great sense of achievement. It took a massive amount of effort to prepare and deliver ten speeches. It feels fantastic to have finally achieved what I wanted.

Now do you feel nervous while speaking in front of people? And how has Toastmasters has played a part in it? JPKU Toastmasters has certainly helped in reducing my nervousness in front of people, not only in public speak-ing but also in talking to people in general. But I feel that there is still a long way to go. I want to further improve my public speaking skills in the coming months at Toast-masters. Whats Next?

So far my focus had been on finishing my CC manual i.e. prepared speeches. Now I would like to work on my impromptu speaking skills.

"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. ”

- Herm Albright.

Have any of you faced a problem which took you years of struggle to overcome? I did .I stammered.   When I was a child, I use to live with my grandfather. My grandfather had a hearing problem and so I had to repeat every word while talking to him. This constant repeating every word eventually gave me a severe stammering problem. I was so severe that when I joined primary school I could not finish a single sentence without stammering.   Even a simple sentence that one has to use in school like “Mam may I go to toilet” went like “Mam mmmay I go to the ttoilet”. Most of my classmates made fun of me. I was bullied every time I opened my mouth. Vibhor Taneja was one of the worst bullies in my class. He used to make mock me all the time by mimicking my stammer. When I used to pass, he used to say “Oye Dd..ddevesh kaisa hai” and everybody used to enjoy that.  Every single person I talked to be it my class‐mates or my teachers either looked at me with sympathy or went away laughing at me. Slowly and gradually my confi‐dence and self esteem broke. As a result my stammer got even worse.  As a child, under the influence of my grandfather, I was quite religious. I prayed everyday asking Bhagwan Vishnu to make people stop making fun of me. And in a few weeks my wish did come true. No I did not stop stammering. The guy who used to make mock me all the time, Vibhor, after continually mimicking my stammer, developed a severe stammer himself. And after this everybody was so scared of this that they stop making fun of me. I realized that God had a funny way of fulfilling wishes. Instead of removing my stammer, it gave another guy a stammer to stop people from mocking me.  In school I advanced to fifth grade and my father wanted me to take admission in DPS. In the interview, the school teach‐ers took just 2‐3 minutes to reject me because I could not even say my father’s name properly. My father was disap‐pointed. I had to remain in the same school. Till that point of time in my life I never took this problem seriously. But after failing in this interview, my future looked scary. Would I also fail in job interviews for the same reason that I will be giv‐ing when I grow up? Would I be stammering when I will be 30? Would I always be rejected?   My father knew that something had to be done about my stammer. He sent me to doctors and speech therapists. He even got me special books to overcome stuttering. I used to spend hours reading books out loud in front of the mirror.  My ses‐sions with the speech therapist reduced my stammer initially. But after a few months my stammer got even worse. The problem is that getting rid of stammer is not a simple problem. The more one deliberately tries to stop stammering, the more one does. The more I thought of not stammering, the more I stammered. I just did not do what to do?   I got to 6th standard, I had my first crush. It was not on one of my classmates, rather it was on my Math’s teacher. The first day she came in, she started asking each of us our names. Now every person who stammers has a letter in which he/she stammers the most. Mine was letter “T” and unfortunately my last name is “Trivedi”. When my turn came, I stood up and said “Hi I am Devesh Ttt”.I could not say Trivedi. I would never forget that moment, everyone in my class even my first crush, new teacher were laughing at me. At that moment, I hated everyone, I hated my classmates, my teacher and I hated myself. I hated the fact that my last name was “Trivedi” and why my last name wasn’t something without letter “T” that I could pronounce easily like Dwivedi or Chaturvedi.  

I knew something had to be done about it but the more I tried to stop stammering the worse it got. The main difficulty is that no single cure for stammering. Everyone is different and everyone needs a different cure. No cure fits all. Be it reading books, speaking slowly, and talking to speech therapists – nothing worked for me.   Fortunately the person because of whom I got the stammer, my grandfather, also had its solution. He used to quote some‐thing from the Gita all the time “He vigan aisa kuanse jag me jo til sake aadmi ke mrag me; Manav jab zor lagata hai pat‐thar pani ban jata hai”‐ There are no obstacles that a man cannot deal with. He explained me that if I give all my mind and energy to find a solution to my stammer, I will definitely find the answers.  So everyday, at every moment, at every place ‐ I looked for answers. I tried everything. I read whole novels out loud in one go and I even shouted with my mouth inside a bathroom mug daily. To reduce stammer, I even tried to boost my con‐fidence with adventure sports like Bunjee jumping form a crane. Nothing worked. Then one fortunate day in my 12th stan‐dard, an expert on physics, Mr Parekh came to our campus to deliver a guest lecture. That man gave a 1 hour flawless lec‐ture on quantum physics in English. Then at the end of the lecture, he started answering questions by students in Hindi and he was stammering. I was very surprised to find that he spoke flawless English but stammered in Hindi. In went up to him later and told him about my problem. He told me that he stammers only in Hindi and never stammers in English. He said that this was because whenever he speaks English, he thinks in Hindi, his mother tongue, and then translates it in English. And this delay in translation prevents him from stammering in English.  I thought I have tried everything why not try this too. In my summer vacations, I told my parents that I am going to lock myself in the house for the whole month and will talk to them only in English.   Soon I found that I too did not stammer in English. After a month after talking only in English, I found that my stammer in Hindi had almost disappeared. I had fi‐nally found the solution that was fit for me.    It took me 10 years of constant searching to find the answer to my problem. I could have spent my whole life stammering, blaming my grandfather or blaming God for it. But I did not. I fought hard and found the solution. And this has given me such strength, that now whenever I face a problem, no matter how big, I know I will be able to solve it. When I look back, I feel grateful to God for giving me this problem, because if I did not have a stammer, I would not have been so confident while facing other problems in life. And I haven’t stopped. After reducing my stammer, one fine I searched “public speak‐ing” on the internet and discovered JPKU toastmasters. After getting rid of my stammer, I want to take the next step; I want to be good public speaker. I met my classmate Vibhor the bully who got a stammer from mimicking me in school, in a mall in Gurgaon a year ago, Vibhor still stammers a lot and he is facing problems in passing interviews for MBA.I asked him why he chose to do nothing about his stammer. And he had no answer. Why do we do that? Why do we choose to do nothing about our problems? French philosopher Paul Diel said “Those who want to be successful will find a way. Those who donʹt will find an excuse”. My grandfather was right‐ There is no obstacle in this world that one cannot overcome. All it takes is a little effort.

"Life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on. ”

- Samuel Butler.

“Ashu, your new walkman, its broken from the side, you just bought it yesterday” cried my uncle, who had borrowed my cousin’s walkman to listen to a song, as we drove down to Nepal. “No Dad, it was broken when we bought it”, said Ashu. My cousin, Ashu, at seventeen, had done what most people his age usually do, put the blame on someone else. I call it the ‘I didn’t do it syn-drome’, and frankly I don’t think its age related. Most people suffer from it at some point of time in their lives. If I was to transport you to my childhood, back in the tea gardens, when my mother’s expensive crockery went missing, she usually created havoc in the house, and hours later the servants came out with a chipped cup or saucer or quarter plate. “Who has done this?” That was a regular question, my mother asked. The standard reply was “Memsaab, it was broken when you bought it”. Did shopkeepers sell broken pieces? Were customers naïve enough to buy broken pieces? Or were the servants smart? I often wondered if our servants believed in the Zen philosophy, which says you can either be obsessively careful with expensive crockery, and live in fear that you’ll drop it, or someone will chip it, or an earthquake will come and it will fall out of the cabi-net, and burden yourself, or you can imagine that it is already broken because it is go-ing to break someday. Then, every time you drink from the cup will be a pleasure. So definitely the cup was already broken when I bought it? So also was the rest of the bone china in the house! The law they say can be applied to personal relationships, job, success and money. If you give up feeling that you need things, you can appreciate them more fully. This is a total contradiction to the “laws of attraction”, which says if you think of something positive and want it with all your heart, the universe conspires to give it to you.

Negative thoughts send your gifts farther away from you. So by thinking that the tea-cup is already broken are you actually speeding up its breakage? If what they made was to be considered broken by everyone at large, would Ver-sace, Lenox, Faberege, Baccarat or some of our other brands make crockery at all, I wonder. Would our retailers sell crockery under the label of ‘damaged/ broken’ in place of ‘breakable/ handle with care’?

Going by this philosophy, Obama’s message in place of ‘Yes We Can’ should have been, ‘we have already lost, and no we cant, lets see what we can enjoy henceforth’. In place of ‘Audacity of Hope’, we would have a book on ‘Caution of Despair’.

What about relationships? Would people get married thinking they are already divorced. What would happen to the holy vows of matrimony? Maybe they would read, ‘we are already separated, so lets see what we can gain from each other and how long we can enjoy the company.’

How about the bones in our body? Are all 206 of them broken from the time we are born? Maybe then, all of us should come with labels that say ‘manufacturing defect’.

While most people all over the world fret over broken crockery, lets also think about the man who made a masterpiece with it, a man called Nekchand, and his masterpiece, the Rock Garden in Chandigarh.

Why do we resort to “it was broken when you bought it”? Is it merely because it is eas-ier to put the blame on someone else? Or is it because we feel that taking onus for our reactions will leave us in a compromised state, or have us face consequences? Or is it merely because the line sounds like music to the ears, “It was broken when you bought it!”
