    Competition is part and parcel of our life and we are competing at various platforms through-
    out our life. Toastmaster also has it’s share of competitions. In every meeting, we try to better
    ourselves and compete with other toastmaster in prepared speeches, evaluations and im-
    promptu table topics sections. Besides this every meeting dosage of competitions, we also
    have the big bang - Speech Competitions.

    This week, we witnessed club members trying to outperform against each other in Interna-
    tional Speech Competition and Table Topics Competition. I would like to congratulate Sanchit
    Aggarwal and Nitya Ranjan for winning the International Speech and Table Topics Contest re-
    spectively, Akhil Sood was first runners up in both the contests and Roberto Germani was sec-
    ond runners up in Table Topics Contest. First two award winners of each contest will repre-
    sent JPKU Toastmasters Club in the upcoming Area C2 level contest where they shall com-
    pete with toastmasters of other club of South Delhi area.

    Also, This month we tried a couple of new things in our meetings to make them more inter-
    esting. These were special movie and book review sections which helped members appreciate
    the usage of communication for something that they are passionate about.

    With all the energy our young members bring in I assure you that learning and fun will grow
    further.

    Carpe Diem.

    Thank you.

The things you see and perceive remain forever active and ready for any refer-

have lived most of my life with and yet when i start comparing this efferves-

                                Everyone has their own reasons.

For those who are in love – you have to think about your plans for the val-
entine week. And you are worried about the gifts you have to get. Aren’t
you? I am!

For those who are not yet in love – you are probably waiting for the per-
fect one. You are looking out for Mr. Cupid to fire his love arrow right
through your heart.

And finally, for those of you who are still waiting for an answer, valentine
is the perfect time to propose. Just imagine – you down on one knee, a
red rose and a box of chocolates. And… the answer is yes! Wouldn’t that
be the best moment of your life!!!

Well, as they say, being in love is the best feeling in the world. Go on. Ex-
perience it!

don’t want to move ahead from that glorious past.                                What is your story??

It indeed was an eye opener and later when I thought about my story, there was
no clear answer. There were lots of hazy pictures but no clear indication of the
path ahead. Following lines clearly describe my story these days:

and it was not easy to reach on time. But to my surprise, most of the people were already
there. I guess the first rule of Toastmasters is very well ingrained into all of us, ―To be
punctual‖.

The party was a delight right from the start. A great venue was selected, both in terms of
approachability and space. As I entered, the first thing that was offered to me was a mas-
querade mask, which was again one of a kind. The food, the ambience and the decora-
tions were simply brilliant.

The ceremony was initiated by Mr. Harish Gupta, Sergeant at Arms of TMWD club. It
was then taken over by Arpita and Rajan, who were the hosts of the party. I must admit
that no one could have done this job better than both of them. The energy they demon-
strated was just mind blowing.

The things you see and perceive remain forever active and ready for any refer- ence in the subconscious. I have always been alarmed at the ever increasing rate of breakups, divorces, involving some of my best friends, the people i have lived most of my life with and yet when i start comparing this efferves- cent generation with the one that preceded us, the number diminishes. The magnet has often attracted my thoughts and they have obliged by wandering in the same direction, What is the attribute that we are lacking in our genera- tion and our parents perfected in? They possibly haven’t seen and explored the world as we are destined to but yet there was something that they could hold on to their partners and knit a merry relationship. I am aware that none of us graduate with the idea of learning how to get easy divorces and break up but somehow we do manage to excel in it. The word is patience. We lack it. Blame it on the young boiling blood or the social stigma we grew in but we are just a bunch of irritated people, who have been angry

For those who are in love – you have to think about your plans for the val- entine week. And you are worried about the gifts you have to get. Aren’t you? I am! For those who are not yet in love – you are probably waiting for the per- fect one. You are looking out for Mr. Cupid to fire his love arrow right through your heart. And finally, for those of you who are still waiting for an answer, valentine is the perfect time to propose. Just imagine – you down on one knee, a red rose and a box of chocolates. And… the answer is yes! Wouldn’t that be the best moment of your life!!! Well, as they say, being in love is the best feeling in the world. Go on. Ex- perience it!

I was at the party very well on time, and by ―very well on time‖ I mean I was only half an hour late, which is frankly very good by Indian standard, because it was raining heavily Cheers! and it was not easy to reach on time. But to my surprise, most of the people were already there. I guess the first rule of Toastmasters is very well ingrained into all of us, ―To be punctual‖. The party was a delight right from the start. A great venue was selected, both in terms of approachability and space. As I entered, the first thing that was offered to me was a mas- querade mask, which was again one of a kind. The food, the ambience and the decora- tions were simply brilliant. The ceremony was initiated by Mr. Harish Gupta, Sergeant at Arms of TMWD club. It was then taken over by Arpita and Rajan, who were the hosts of the party. I must admit that no one could have done this job better than both of them. The energy they demon- strated was just mind blowing.
