TOASTMASTERS…where Leaders are made! A tag-line that so aptly

describes Chennai Toastmasters! Rhetoric 2012 ROCKED… with Chennai Toastmasters

leading the way, right from the minute you entered the event. TM Thanigeaswara, TM

Gomathi & TM Selvabharathi greeted every single delegate upon entry (mind you, no

mention of the family mafia here!). Once you entered the Hall, irrespective of where you

looked, you could see the presence of Chennai Toastmasters in the form of current

members, members who have moved on and future members!

LEADERSHIP – is not just the task of Leading or getting others to do a

given task happily and to your satisfaction; but also the Art of Creating Future Leaders!

This is one aspect that has been proven by Chennai Toastmasters over and over again.

As the Lighthouse Club of Division G, CTM has created numerous Leaders and helped

them move on to other Clubs, Areas, Divisions and Districts to spread the good word and

hold the flag of CTM high! Abraham Zacharia, Dr. Indira Jeyaraj. Aditya Maheshwaran,

Sastha Ram, Saro Velrajan, Lalitha Giridhar, Sadayappan, Prabhakar Ramaswamy, Arna

Chugani, Divya Sivakumar…. They are just a few examples of CTM‘s remarkable

contribution in the Making of Leaders process; the list is endless.

President’s Address

Page 4: Speak Out - April 2012

We now have in front of us more such opportunities to create, cultivate and channelize

Leaders. Thanks to the efforts of each and every one of you, in the 10 months, Division

G has nearly doubled in strength. From 19 Clubs in the beginning of this term, we are

now 33 Clubs and growing! Quite a number of these Clubs are facing acute teething

problems and are struggling for lack of sufficient Mentors!

I am now writing this to invoke the Leaders amongst YOU to step up to this

task of establishing these new Clubs. It may not be easiest of tasks, but it is not difficult

either. Adopt a Club or two, adopt a few new members – there is some promising

potential out there, and all they need is a guiding hand, a leading hand, a dedicated

MENTOR! I am sure every single one of you has the potential to be a great Mentor, and if

need be, we will try and organize some workshops on Effective Mentoring.

WHAT is in it for YOU? Ask any seasoned Mentor, they will tell you…

Mentoring puts your own Personal Development on a fast-track, makes a better Human

Being out of You, and brings out the LEADER IN YOU! Yes, Toastmasters is where

LEADERS ARE MADE!!!

Sachin Tendulkar hits his first century at Old Trafford, in Manchester, England, Aug. 11, 1990.

It‘s been a year and four days, but Sachin Tendulkar, the Little Master, has

finally done it. He has scored 100 centuries in international cricket, an incredible sporting

feat that may never be matched.

In the end, the historic milestone wasn‘t reached in his backyard Mumbai. It

wasn‘t reached at Lord‘s, the spiritual home of cricket. It came against Bangladesh, in the

Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka. It was sachin`s first century against Bangladesh

and it satisfied his fans in that way too.

Tendulkar won‘t care a jot about the venue or opposition. Any international

century is special, and he‘s just scored 100 of them. That‘s 29 more centuries than his

nearest challenger on the all-time list, Australia‘s Ricky Ponting. This latest one is perhaps

the sweetest, as it came when Tendulkar was facing an unfamiliar – and unfair — amount

of criticism. The pressure was on.

But the pressure valve was emphatically released on Friday, March 16, 2012.

The date will go down in history, since this was Sachin‘s day. Tendulkar scored his last

century on March 12, 2011, against South Africa in a World Cup group match that India lost

by three wickets.

Sachin Tendulkar – A Legend

5

Page 6: Speak Out - April 2012

It‘s difficult to understate this sporting

achievement. Scoring 100 centuries was unthinkable

before Tendulkar came along, making his debut in

1989 as a mere 16-year-old, the youngest cricketer

ever to represent India. Now 38, Tendulkar is in the

twilight of his career, yet he still shines as brightly as

Ever.

No other batsman in history has come

close to achieving what Tendulkar has. He is the top

scorer in Test cricket by a country mile, with over 15,000 runs to his name. Tendulkar is

also the top scorer in One-Day Internationals with more than 18,000 runs, streets ahead

of Ponting, who is second on the list with 13,704.

Each time he went out to bat, Tendulkar must have had the echo of a 100

million voices asking ―Is this going to be the one?‖ ringing in his ears. Time and again,

cricket watchers, from luminaries of the game such as Sunil Gavaskar, Tony Greig,

Shane Warne and Sourav Ganguly, to average fans like you and me, made pre-match

predictions that ―today would be the day‖ only to see the Little Master later trudging back

to the pavilion having fallen short of the triple figure mark. In the eyes of the romantics,

especially, the timing of Tendulkar‘s hundredth century was almost written in the stars.

The World Cup final — which India of course won — in Mumbai was surely

the stage for this great cricketer to reach this phenomenal milestone. He knows how to

handle the pressure, and the big stage, and it comes no bigger than a World Cup final

watched by billions. But no, he was out for 18.

Page 7: Speak Out - April 2012

. At home, India has fared better in Tests, though admittedly against weaker

opposition than England and Australia. In November, the team beat the West Indies by

five wickets in Delhi, and then by an innings and 15 runs in Kolkata. The final match of

that three-Test series was a draw, but that was notable for the fact that it was the closest

Tendulkar has come to scoring his hundredth.

Again the stars seemed aligned, the match was on a batsman-friendly

wicket in Mumbai – Tendulkar‘s hometown – and the stadium was packed with fans more

interested in seeing if this would be the Little Master‘s day. Whether India won, lost or

drew was secondary. Cheered on with every shot, Tendulkar roared into the 90‘s in that

innings, but it wasn‘t to be at the Wankhede Stadium, which slid into eerie silence when

the batsman was caught in the slips by Darren Sammy for 94.

Meanwhile his team-mates and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni would have

to continue fielding questions about the impact Tendulkar‘s pursuit was having, not just

on the player but on the Indian team as a whole.

A staggering 15470 runs scored in 188 Tests at a robust average of 55.44

confirmed Tendulkar‗s greatness in the longer version of the game.

And in the 462 ODIs he has played, the little master has scored 18374 runs with an

impressive average of 44.81.

On Friday he was eventually out for 114. But he‘d got that century at last.

Tendulkar, Dhoni, the rest of the Indian team, and cricket fans the world over, can

breathe a huge sigh of relief, and of course start an endless round of rapturous applause.

Pleasure moment - at the Contest in Dubai in 2011..

Winning trophies in club contest

in all the four segments......

===================================================================

Exactly four months after my arrival from Dubai, on 24th April 2012, I was

listening to the Radio Ad, the broadcast message said ―Listeners, one hour of your

contribution will give light and life to the visually challenged or differently (much) abled

students ........ Approached the founder, Mr. Gopi of the Nedrodhaya (Home for the Blind)

which is located in Mogappair, Chennai.

It houses around 50 students who are visually challenged and differently

abled. With the help of volunteers and with the unstinted support of Government and

NGO bodies, it teaches school and college curriculum, spoken English, computer

courses, motivational courses, Gym, yoga, music, etc

The moment, I learnt about what was that, as a Toastmaster, thoughts

forced me to immediately volunteer to assist an English literature student by reading the

subjects for one hour a day. It has been a week‘s time since I got associated with this

institution and started enjoying. I feel ecstasy whenever I do my bit to the wonderful souls

there. What I observed is that the students more knowledgeable, great listeners, with

superb memory skills and always eager to learn more skills whenever they are awake, for

the rest of their lives.

My pleasure moment continues - the photo below is myself with the student, Jakkar,

doing English Literature final year.

Dear Toastmasters, it will be a wonderful experience and great contribution

if we do our bit to the physically, visually and mentally challenged people when we are

offered with such opportunities......... I just started focussing on my vision to accomplish

my mission in the days ahead..................

Three pairs of paradoxical needs drive human life and they are,

1. Certainty and uncertainty

2. Individuality and connectedness.

3. Having and giving

Man gets tossed between these paradoxical needs because when one

need is satiated the other is starved. Then, you focus on satiating the latter, only to end

up starving the former. Understand this paradox and you will understand life.

First Paradox: Certainty provides order. Uncertainty provides growth. Both

order and growth are needed to complete life. And, that‘s the first paradox. You want

certainty. So, you try to achieve certainty by trying to control everything around you. Now,

when your life becomes completely certain, when things become predictable, you

become bored. That‘s why you lose interest in a work that you know you can handle. So,

while you want certainty you simultaneously also want a certain amount of variety, which

comes only out of uncertainty. You need surprises and challenges for you to feel fully

alive. Too much certainty is boredom. Unfortunately, once you hurl yourself completely

into uncertainty for the sake of versatility and challenges, with too much uncertainty you

become extremely nervous and concerned. You again seek a degree of certainty. Two

sides of the same coin but you keep toggling between the two sides, causing a roller

coaster ride in the flow and rhythm of your life.

Paradoxical needs

10

Page 11: Speak Out - April 2012

Second Paradox: As a physical being you are the only one of your kind,

absolutely unique and individualistic. But at the same time, as a spiritual being, the spirit

of life that enlivens you is also the same spirit that enlivens all. So, spiritually you are

connected to one and all. Both individuality and connectivity are needed to complete life.

And, that‘s the second paradox. As a unique person, for your identity, you need

significance. If you do the right ways to feel significant, the desperation to fulfill this need

might ever you to choose wrong ways to feel significant, some people even become

unique developing extreme problems that apart from others. In fact, most people have

the subconscious ability to make them ill in order to gain the caring attention of the

people. From dressing in certain ways to a certain style. That is to lose out on

relationships; at least to distance themselves from others. Now you got separated. Now

you feel lonely and so, you crave for connectedness. You want cared for and cared

about. You want to go with the crowd. To meet this need, you associate with some

groups or clubs. Once you feel so well connected, you will feel as if you have lost your

own identity in the crowd. And, the seesaw of being tossed one need to another only

continues….

Third Paradox: Life is a flow and this achieved through possessions. Both

having and giving are needed to have complete life. And, that is the third paradox, the

need to sustain and the need to contribute, the need of accumulation and the need for

renunciation. The toss is between selfishness and unselfishness.

While everything you do will be tossed between these paradoxes,

if you can find a few active things in your life, which fulfills all the six

needs gives you that balance in life, you will find a new zeal in life….

This is the secret of a complete life.

Page 12: Speak Out - April 2012

I am an Indian. I grew up in India and have studied in

Indian schools. I moved from India to the United States in 2004. Since

2006 I have been teaching in United States.

Comparison of Educational Institutions in India and United States

I have noticed lot of difference in the education system in the US and in

India. Whenever we talk of education, we think of classrooms in the traditional manner:

Blackboards, students taking notes, teacher centered etc. This is how it is in India.

Teachers work in isolation and students are responsible for their learning. Teachers are

backed by parental support. Technology is not very visible in classrooms. Education is

not free and there are very limited resources available to the students and teachers.

Here, in the United States I saw constructivism enter my classroom. Times

have changed and teachers are required to work in collaboration and as a team and

show how their collaborative efforts can lead to educational transformation. The values

and beliefs of teachers formed over the years may conflict the expectations set by the

educational institution‘s administrators and its climate. In India, data driven decisions are

unheard of. Educators were (When I left India in 2004) unaware of the fact that exploring

student data would allow them to scrutinize their instructional practices and their

expectations for students. Times have changed. This is digital age and it becomes very

important for our students to be able to link electronically to this world. To become an

effective and responsible citizen one requires the skill to manage the loads of information

that one faces on a daily basis. In order to achieve this goal, teaching styles and current

day classrooms need to be changed in order to relate teaching to real world experiences

and problems.

Technology Driven Classrooms

12

Page 13: Speak Out - April 2012

Educators attend professional development programs to equip themselves for this

change. Teachers and students are provided all the resources required to excel in the

technology rich classrooms.

In India, students were monolingual, classrooms were traditional and all

students had the same cultural background. Diversity was invisible and hence

differentiation was not required. It was the student‘s responsibility to change if required.

Teachers were not required to change their style of teaching in order to suit the student‘s

needs. It is taken for granted that students already have mastery on the language of

instruction.

United States is the land of immigrants. The classrooms have a mix of students from

various cultural backgrounds. Hence differentiation of instruction is required in order to

make sure that every student learns. There are many students whose first language is

not English. Hence it becomes very important for the teacher to pay extra attention to

communication (which may at times not be recognized by certain students).

Mathematics education depends on effective communication between the students and

teachers. Various strategies need to be applied in order to scaffold the possibility of

communication gap due to language. Clear communication between the teacher and

students is the key to success. The communication could happen in class or it could be

via emails. The use of technology plays an important role.

Conclusion

Technological advances of this digital age and the desire to improve the

quality of teaching and learning has created classrooms without walls. I

13

Page 14: Speak Out - April 2012

. In order to create 21st century workforce, it is very important for educators

to be comfortable with the use of latest technologies and to be able to integrate the same

effectively to educate the young minds. Communicating in this digital era clearly

challenges the pedagogical skills of educators. Some teachers who are from the old

school do not see the need to use technology for everything in the classroom. They

succeeded as a teacher using the blackboard for the past 35 years and hence do not see

the need to use PowerPoint to drive down their ideas to their students.

Moreover with all the budget constraints, educational institutions do not

have funds for the professional development of their educators. After coming to the

United States I realized that though the concepts of mathematics are universal, yet the

style of teaching the same is not. In order to create global awareness, teachers need to

make use of technology. It is very important to make the educational institutions staff

function as a professional learning community. As important as this task is, it is extremely

difficult too because it deals with adults (who can sometimes become reluctant to

change) and requires teachers to educate and communicate with diverse audience. The

need to create global awareness has led to integrating multiple technologies in all areas.

Teaching is not a job but a passion. Educators learn continuously from their students as

well. Any skills needed to continue this journey of teaching and learning needs to

definitely be imparted in the right manner as education does not only result in student

development but it leads to the growth of the entire community.

It was a bright Sunday morning and I was back home after my customary

morning jog followed by a short round of exercise . I checked my Facebook account and

was appalled to note that there was not even a single ―Like‖ on my latest status message

.Come to think of it, it took me more than three days to crystallize on the brilliant wordings

of the status message. It saddened my heart to realize that people were steadily losing

their ability to appreciate quality humor.

I opened my mail box and was pleasantly surprised to receive a mail from

one John Smith (a practicing attorney) from London intimating me that my grandmother

had bequeathed her entire fortune of two million pounds in my favor before departing for

her heavenly abode. The mail also contained clear instructions and steps to be followed

to assume custody of the fortune.

To the best of my knowledge none of my grannies had ever crossed the

frontiers of ‗Singara-Chennai‘ and not even in my wildest of imagination had I dreamt that

a granny I never had, died in a place I never been to, ending up bequeathing her entire

fortune in favor of a relative she never saw.

But strange are the ways of God .He has this unique way of sharing fortune

with the oppressed salaried class. Steep hikes in the prices of petrol, milk, electricity and

vegetables had burnt a large hole in my empty pocket and it was indeed divine

intervention that my grandmother had a ‗timely‘ heavenly exit leaving behind her entire

fortune Initially I was tempted to discuss the details with my friends and relatives. But

since this was a matter of huge money I desisted from discussing with anyone lest there

turn out a long queue of more grandchildren.

Granny’s Fortune

15

Page 16: Speak Out - April 2012

I have scrolled down the mail and assimilated the instructions left down by

my grandmother in her will .As per her will I was to transfer an amount of five hundred

dollars in a designated Swiss bank account which was towards incidental and

administrative expenses of executing the will. Once the money was transferred I would

be eligible to receive my fortune within a period of seventy two hours.

Without a moment hesitation I transferred the money and shared the proof

of bank transfer with John for him to proceed with further process. I was chalking out my

plans for investing the bequeathed fortunes. Fifty percent would be invested in gold while

the remaining funds would be equitably distributed between real estate and equity

markets. Five percent of entire amount would be used for a long postponed Europe tour

and I would also take voluntary retirement from my existing organization leaving behind

clear instructions that the job be given to someone who was in dire need of the money.

Days passed and there was no sign of the money transfer. Days turned into

weeks, weeks into months and in-spite of repeated reminders John Smith never bothered

to respond. I decided to wait for some more time. John was probably trotting around the

globe distributing inherited fortunes to rightful heirs. However when I did not receive any

reply for more than three moths my doubt turned into worry. Finally it turned into nigh-

mare when I read a report in the newspaper that many hackers were using pseudonyms

of John Smith to con people with the bait of inherited fortunes. My purse is lighter by five

hundred dollars but I have learnt an invaluable lesson of never getting trapped by fortune

emails.

"Small things make perfection, but perfection isn't a small thing".

We, the toastmasters from Division G, witnessed the performance of some

of the BEST speakers in Tamilnadu who paid attention to those small details - that made

them the STARS of Division G. Rhetoric 2012 showcased the leadership of toastmasters

who skillfully crafted the entire event.

Rhetoric 2012 is the Annual conference of Division G toastmasters which

includes all the 33 clubs in Tamil Nadu. The highlight of the conference is the

International speech contest and Table Topics contest.

The day kick-started with a

Bharathanatyam performance by

young masters Ritika and Varshini

who kept the audience in rapt attention

with their adept moves. In the morning,

we had International speech contest and we had Table topics contests in the afternoon.

The contestants gave extraordinary speeches making it tough for the judges to identify

the winners. The speeches were of very high quality.

Rhetoric 2012

17

Page 18: Speak Out - April 2012

The guest speaker of the day Dr.Irai Anbu I.A.S, gave an enthralling speech on

communication. His speech focused on body language and how it plays an important role

in communication. He covered various topics such as evolution of communication since

the universe began; origin of languages; importance of body language etc., Dr. Irai Anbu

stressed on the fact that listening skills are imperative to be a successful communicator.

The highlight of Dr. Irai Anbu‘s session was the non-stop humor. Overall, the session was

educative, entertaining and enriching.

Rhetoric 2012 provided a platform for young students, IT professionals and executives to

bond with ease.

18

Page 19: Speak Out - April 2012

Rhetoric 2012 is special for many reasons:

For the first time ever, the top 3 district 82 officials, DTM Saleem, DTM Nina John and

DTM Nirmala Lillyattended the conference together for Division G.

This is the last conference of the combined Division G which includes all the clubs in

Tamilnadu.

Last but not the least, Rhetoric 2012 celebrates the success of Division G. It is the first

division to become the President Distinguished in the whole of District 82.

19

Page 20: Speak Out - April 2012

The event came to a close with toastmasters George Vinoj and Arna Chugani winning

the International Speech and Table Topics speech contests, respectively. They will

represent Division G in the District contests at Ovations 2012, happening in Colombo,

Srilanka.

Rhetoric 2012 provided an excellent opportunity for toastmasters from

various clubs to connect, communicate and cross-pollinate. This is one of the BEST

conferences that I‘ve ever attended

Radiation penetration in the head of an adult, ten-years and five years

old

BRAIN AFFECTED BY CELL PHONE(The Hidden Dangers of cell phone Radiation)

22

Page 23: Speak Out - April 2012

When radiation hits the head, it penetrates the skull. The pictures above are

the results of an experiment show how radiation penetrates the skull of an adult (25%) 10

year old (50%) and a 5 year old (75%). The younger the child the deeper the penetration

due to the fact their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more fluid than adults.

Radio frequencies travel through children‘s brains much more easily and therefore

increase the risk of cancer.

How to reduce risk of brain cancer from mobile phones:

1. Limit call time;

2. Change the side you use, each time;

3. Use landlines when you can;

4. Use hands-free or speaker;

5. Text instead of voice;

6. Avoid using phones in bad signal areas;

7. Don’t use GSM mobiles

TM SELVABHARATHI ANBARASUKALAPPAN

Page 24: Speak Out - April 2012

I want the entire system to change, nothing is perfect. Be it education,

health care, tourism or anything, money is the first priority; everything is business. I feel

like I‘m in a no-man‘s land despite living in the second most populated country. That‘s

because I feel no human touch, no empathy and no warmth. Why has every single

person, every institution become so business oriented with only profits and money in their

mind, I wondered. At the hospital, when I was seeking treatment, I realized I no longer

lived in a no-man‘s land but instead everyone shared the same thoughts and feelings I

nourished. That was a moment of realization. Everyone has been expecting the world to

change according to their definitions and descriptions and expected it to be perfect. Now,

the world or the whole universe must change – is that possible? Difficult, but yes, it is

possible.

The whole universe has millions of animals, creatures, birds, insects, micro-

organisms, trees, plants and many other living beings other than zillion human beings. So

how can the world change for the better?

The word micro-organisms reminded me of the minute cells that comprise

our body. If the body is the universe, the zillions of cells comprise the inhabitants of that

universe. Each cell is alive and performs its duties inside the body working both

independently and cohesively with other cells. Only if each cell performs its duty properly

and also cohesively with other cells without any abrasion, will the body (read universe)

function properly and remain healthy. Just imagine one cell failing to its normal function or

one cell getting infected – the infection spreads to other cells and soon becomes a

tumour or some other ailment, infecting the entire universe. Oh! What a revelation it was.

Just one cell had the power to crush the body!

CHANGE IS CHALLENGE

24

Page 25: Speak Out - April 2012

So why can‘t one man bring the needed change in the universe? That‘s

what most leaders, teachers and preachers did. They were enlightened and tried to

enlighten the world. But why are we still living in this misery, blaming the world, cribbing

and complaining all the time. The only difference between a cell and a human is – the

ability to think. Cells too possess that ability but in limited content - just enough to deliver

their duties; whereas man has much higher ability and despite that he chooses to live in

misery because we expect the others to change and not change ourselves.

I have to power to change myself but not others. It is relatively easier to

change myself than trying to change others. So the change must start from me, within

me. I must be the change I want to see in the world. Change is definitely a challenge but

look at the words – change and challenge; just remove the ‗lle‘ from challenge and we get

change. As I said, change is challenge, nevertheless not impossible. I can choose to be

that one cell in this whole universe, and cause a positive transformation.

One cell – just one person, just me can bring change. If I change myself, I

can see a huge change in the universe.

Go for the change – change yourself and see the change.
