Power of LOVE
Born in Albania the mother of love destined to serve the poorest of the poor visited India. When she was walking on the roads of Calcutta, she found a woman was half eaten up by rats and ants. She took her to the hospital, persuaded to take care of her. She then pleaded the government for a place were she could take care of dying destitute. Thus she formed the Nirmal Hirudayala the home for dying destitute.
Honorable judges, Madam Toastmaster, my dear friends
She was none other than Mother Teresa who lead a life of love.
Love never sees anything as impossible.
Staying in a small township, I had been showered with lots of love and affection in family. I belong to a lower middle income family. My father started losing his right eye sight when he was 45 years old, due to acute glaucoma. Doctors demanded an immediate operation to be done to save his left eye. The operation was estimated to cost around a lakh. My mother stood confused and grief stricken not to know what to do. Quickly, our neighbor, Mr. Gopal Krishnan made the necessary arrangements for the operation at besant eye hospital in Chennai. They also took care of me. The love which they showered that day in 1981 Nov did not just touch my heart but left a sweet feeling of Love in our family.
Teresa said “I have never found any true, deep inner happiness outside the context of Love. Love ( Of god and others) and real inner joy has been inseparable for me. Loving one another is what life is all about.”
I was returning back from USA. The flight travel was around 36 hours with a break of 5 hours in Amsterdam. A Pakistani women, around 70 years boarded the flight along with me. She was bent and hardly could walk straight. Slowly she came near me and asked, “Can you please help me?” I could sense a grief in her voice. I arranged for a wheelchair. On boarding the flight, I took the seat next to her. Then on till I reached Amsterdam, I stayed with her. Alighting at Amsterdam, I helped her to get her connecting Pakistan flight. On bidding a final bye, she said “Thank you ” and she broke down. “You look like my daughter. I lost her few days back. But God is kind to find someone to help me. I was staying my daughter in US. Now, I am now returning to my sons house in Pakistan. As he could not offer a ticket, I had to come alone. May God Bless you. ”
Teresa defined “God is love”
Love means
Ö Patience
Ö Kindness
Ö Gentleness
Ö Tolerance
Ö Endurance
Ö Generosity
Ö Assuming the best intentions
Ö Giving the benefit of the doubt
A 10th standard boy kaushik, did not having enough money to pay his exam fees. He decided collect going house to house. He wrote an appeal and started his collection request. He met my friend, Krishnan, explained his situation. Krishnan quickly understood the thirst for the poor boy to study. He sponsored not only his 10th standard exam, but his graduation too. On getting a job, he met Krishan to return his money. Krishnan said, “Great Kaushik. I am proud of you. Each young boy on his interest can find his way to achieve what he wants. Alternatively, I request you to find a needy and sponsor his studies. That is the way to return my money.”
My dear friends, there is a massive(Huge) hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it. You may have right in your own family. Find them. Love them. Put your love for them in living action. For in loving them, you are loving God Himself.
Let us more and more insist on raising funds. Funds of love, funds of kindness, funds of understanding, funds of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God.
Thank You

Project 9 - Persuade with Power
Priceless Gift
21st Oct 2006. The whole Bangalore was celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights. Bursting crackers, wearing new clothes, eating sweets, visiting relative’s houses, watching the special program in television. The Gowri puja was being performed in some houses. On this noisy day, Master Prem Singh was just confined to the room doing nothing. He wanted to kill his solitude and run amidst of children. But, he could not. He suffered from corneal blindness.
Honorable Judges, Mr. Toastmaster, Fellow toastmaster and my dear friends,
Corneal Blindness is an eye disease which makes people blind. The cornea becomes cloudy due to
Injuries
Chemical burns
Malnutrition
Infection
Congenital disorders
Post operation complication/Infection
Master Prem Singh too was a victim of this disease due to malnutrition and Infection. Prem was born in a middle class family. His father was a teacher in physics. His mother was a housewife. He had one sister studying 5th standard. Prem was in 7th standard when he was hit by a bicycle. His father provided him medication in a local government hospital. He recovered fast. However, the infection in the eye spread which blocked his eye sight. His father tried his level best to get his son’s eye sight. The doctors just replied, Only Transplantation of eye can help.
My dear friends, we have thousands of Prem Singh in this world.
Yearly around 40,000 people loose eye sight due to corneal blindness. Majority of them are children. Money , wealth cannot help these children as there is no substitute to human tissues. If we need Prem Singh to get his eye sight, it is us who have to take the first step. We should all be aware that eye donation after death. This shall enable the other person to regain eyesight.
I could see that each one of you here would like to know what you could do to help Prem Singh’s see?
Pledge your eyes and carry the registration card along with you. This helps the nearby persons to fulfill your last wish to donate eyes. However, If one dies before registering himself in a eye bank for the noble cause, the Kith/Kin can authorize the eye donation on behalf of the deceased.
Celebrities like Aishwarya Rai, Amitabh Bhachan, Zahir Hussain, Pandit hari Prasad Chaurasia, Alarmelvalli, Jaya Bachan, Saint Jeer of Sri Vaishanva Mutt have not only pledged their eyes but do participate in the noble cause for spreading the message.
All you have to do is
Call the nearest eye bank / eye hospital or 1919 and inform about the death within 6 hours of death
Switch off the fan and put on the cooler / AC
Place moist cotton on the closed eye lids and an ice cube on top of it.
Place a pillow under the head.
The Eye bank official will come and collect the eyes. It is a 15 min process. This does not cause any disfigurement. This does not cost us anything. In turn the family can have a satisfaction that they have lightened the life of two blind persons.
Today around 15,000 eyes are collected per year from the deceased through our various eye banks. This is less than 50% of the demand in our country.
Just a final note of caution.
Person suffering from AIDS / Hepatitis B, (Viral Infection spread thru bloodstream affecting vital organs),Leukemia, (Disease related to Bone Marrow), Rabies (Fatal viral disease, transmitted by the bite of warm-blooded animals like dogs), Cancer with Metastasis to Head and Neck (Transmission of pathogenic microorganisms/cancerous cells thru blood vessels), Encephalitis (Inflammation of the brain),Hodgkins Lymphoma(Cancerous growth of cells in the Lymph system of the body) will not be able to donate eyes.
Dear friends, Are you all ready for the noble cause?
Will you all stand by the grief to help the needy Prem Singh?
Why Bury or Burn when we can gift sight to two.
Thank you.

Project 2 - Organise your Speech
How to achieve realistic Goals?
On completing my board exams, I was enjoying my vacations. One day when I was lazing in the garden, watering the plants, my mother came to me and asked.
“What are you doing?”
“Watering the plants”
“What do you want to do here further?”
“Not sure…..”
“What about your future career?”
“I am not sure. I shall ask Jayalakshmi, what she is going to do?”
“But don’t you think, you must have a goal for yourself?”
Mr. Toastmaster, Fellow toastmasters and my dear friends,
At the age of 15 I hadn’t grasped the idea of a goal. In order to respond to my Mother, I started browsing the libraries and dictionaries to find a goal for myself. My definition of Goal at the age of 15 was
1. Result which we aim for
2. Intent of what to achieve
3. Destination which we aspire to reach
The “result we aim at”. What does result mean? Result means outcome which is achieved within a time period. Result is also an outcome of an action performed. We expect results after our annual exams to move to our next class. We expect a distinction in board exam to join our desired Pre college course. I too wanted the same things a 15 year old wanted. Thus when we want a specific result to be the outcome, we need to aim in the right direction which can lead us to that result.
What is intent? Can we say it as, a positive desire?
Yes. Father of our nation had the intent to achieve freedom without shredding a drop of blood. A positive intent. He took the path of ahimsa and spread the noble thought throughout the world. He inspired his fellow men with his touching speeches and hard work towards the goal of achieving freedom. His positive desire turned real on 15th Aug 1947 when we attained our freedom.
Thirdly, “Destination we aspire to”.
It is the place where we wish to end our journey. Born in Albania, Mother Teresa aimed at serving the poor in India. She not only sacrificed her life in serving the poor, but helped us in understanding how focused goals can help us reach the target. This also gives us the necessary strength to work in most demanding situations and face issues with a smile. Her determination, focus and perseverance not only help her reaching the destination to establish Nirmal Hrudayalaya, but inspired the world to serve the poor.
Goals are time bound and can be defined in long term and short term. A short term goal deals with our immediate aspirations which needs to be achieved within 6 months and a long term goal spans our vision for 5 to 10 years.
Thus any goal long term/short term shall be defined
1. is based on our positive desire
2. needs to be defined without ambiguity
3. shall be measurable and quantifiable
4. must be achievable, realistic
5. should have a definite time span
“Goals are dreams with deadlines” Says Diana Scharf Hunt.
Do not stop with dreaming. Do Write them down too as your goal
Work towards it. You are sure to meet success.

My Humourous Speech - for Area level contest
Promotional Offers and Results
“Buy One and get one free”,
“Buy a tie for Rs. 499/- and get Tie Pin free worth Rs. 50/-“
“10 % Extra on 500 Gm Pack.”
“10 Gm Honey Free with 500 Gm Jam “
Honorable Judges, Mr. Toastmaster, Fellow toasmasters and my dear friends,
Can anyone of you here guess What these are ?
These are the latest promotional offers on a product. Freebies and promotional offers are high in Fast Moving Consumable Goods to compete against the leading brands. Offers in form of discounts are given in products which have a premium price. Mostly you come across products in-turn promotes the other product. I wish to share some offers and results from my experience.
1. A 50% extra logo in wheat flour attracted me to by a 1 KG pack. I quickly tried to grab one. Back at home I found that the product expiry date is 2 days away.
2. I had been to a property fair, were I saw a board, “Sign a loan, Own a Flat get your interiors of your choice done free”. I have never dreamt of getting a loan so easily and owning a flat with 0 effort. With the rising real estate prices in Bangalore, I quickly found my place in the long queue. I could see a financier and a real estate person together in one place. The financier had a series of loan schemes and the house which can be booked. The real estate person offered me high discount on costly flats with a 3 options of interior to choose. I could see that each bet other in convincing me to book a loan and house together. On my return, I was a proud owner of a flat which was supposedly to be ready after 3 years.
3. Technology has introduced Mobile phones, which was luxury a few days back has become a necessity. Now it is common among youths. My friend UB too did not hesitate to buy a CDMA mobile which provided a free connection with “LIFELONG COMMUNICATIONS”. The offer included a life time free incoming call scheme. He happily presented it to his Girlfriend. He always ensured to give her calls and flirted with her, ensured that the free incoming scheme was fully utilized. After a month, I saw him less occupied with calls. I could not resist asking the reason to understand if the relation ship was OK. He replied that her mobile had an irreparable problem and he was asked to buy a new one. Just then he realized that the life time free was on the Mobile instrument and not on the connection.
We have newer sales offers like , “Buy Now – Pay later”, schemes provided by FMCG( Fast moving consumer goods), “Pay on Possession”, Pay by EMI which creates a charisma to enhance our commitment capabilities in terms of money to all. How do we manage it? There too are offers provided by our credit cards.
My dear friends, BEWARE…. Today’s Sales offers and results have been KILLERS, unless it is studied fully. Study , Study and Study till you understand the benefits and realize on what the offer is. Is it on Money or on the Product. You can now choose to take it or leave it.

My Toastmaster Project 1 - Ice breaker
I, Me and Myself
How many of you have heard of Cuddalore ?
What is it famous for ? Beaches ? Close to Pondicherry ? the shampoo in a sachet ? Yes, all this and a kind, noble woman called Latha ! Yes, ......
Mr. Toastmaster, fellow toastmasters and my dear friends,
I dream is to become
Ø An inspired entrepreneur (Low voice)
Ø An admired leader (Soft but assertive)
Ø A powerful communicator (Loud)
Ø A knowledgeable person (Low and humble)
Ø But above all, a kind hearted individual (Low to emphasize that it is an innermost desire)
This dream girl was brought up in a township which was well known for its black coal and power supply. My father Ramanathan was an accountant in Neyveli Lignite Corporation and mother Saraswathy a homemaker. I have a caring elder sister Abiramasundari.
My school journey started at St Joseph convent. I was given a royal treatment; my school sent a bus that picked me up right at my doorstep and dropped me back at home. I had a full attendance in school. Though I was not studious, I was regular in completing my home works. My parents had no complain raised by my teachers.
I had a great interest in bringing up the garden along with my grandmother. Synonymous to my name, I had my part in growing up creepers, flowering plants and trees. Games, attending Hindi classes, learning music were some of my other passions. Cycling to school, I enjoyed being the first one to knock at my friends house to pick them up. Known for my sincerity and hard work, my parents had no issues with me, except that they found me very picky in understanding the traditional customs.
Holidays were more interesting in solving math problems, gossiping with my mother and
sister and eating seven to ten mangoes per day by having them fresh on trees.
Even though I secured an aggregate of 93 %, I could not get into Engineering. I studied applied sciences, in Government College of Technology, Coimbatore and proceeded with my post graduation in Bharathiar University. I emerged as one of the top five candidates in studies and first in naughtiness.
Completing my masters, I joined Mastek Limited, SEEPZ Mumbai as a software engineer. My friends and I had a lovely time eating Gujarati Dhokla’s, Maharastra’s Puri - Srikand, Pani puri at Juhu, cut mangoes in Haziali, Mahalakshmi. I became a travel bug. I tried my level best to reach all corners of Bombay and Pune. Travel taught me a lot. I tend to go faster in my ways when my well wishers support me. Aggressively, I took up my first on site trip in December when the temperature in US was negative. I turned this negative to churn it into a positive – My first award.
My communication with machines improved drastically but I had failed with humans. I tried my level best to improve my relationship traits. Visiting libraries, reading books, enacting situations and constant assessments helped me a lot. However my social skills which I lost somewhere in the middle was found in Toastmasters. My toastmaster’s journey taught me to Plan, to communicate, to lead, and above all take risks and win.
The best part of the experience is I have made numerous friends, who are ever willing to help.
Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career says Dr. Abdul Kalam. I have tried to live by it.
Thank you.
