Self recognition

The chills that i always get after exams were enhanced with the thought of GD and PI sessions, On top of it the chills of this winter in Kolkata... Speaking in class and speaking sense was a major problem for me...


Since my college days, i used to literally avoid these sessions where i had to speak in front of class i.e., seminars, presentations etc. However, to my very amusement i used to score fairly good. My friends on the other hand used to speak pretty well... I still remember one of my very close friends took me in his group replacing some other person who was technically better than me in some aspects.. I performed fairly, obviously not up to the mark according to me..


Its almost two years.. Have learnt a lot.. Have got over a lot of my fear in these two years..  In these two years, i've recognized myself, known myself more, that i didn't earlier.. In class i am amongst the first two three persons, if not first, to ask for a chance to speak.. i love to speak now.. 


Someone said that we generally have problems in public speaking because we think people are judging us, and thats true, exactly what happened with me. The person also said " If you genuinely think people will like what you say people wil like." Ask me to speak now and i will not hesitate to do so.. I've learnt that there is always a scope of improvement.. Now i even like to read books.. 


I have learnt not to come to conclusions but analyse a particular situation and have an opinion of myself.. Life becomes seriously disentangled and simple.. Its about making others feel your presence without nagging in front of them. Anyway, loads to learn..
On a mission to be a brilliant spokesman one day..
