EUPHORIA-09

It was our College Day yesterday and yeah even Graduation Day for Internees. More than Graduation Day we were thrilled about the Fest. ;) It was supposed to start at 2:00PM. As usual it got late. ;) By the way the venue was “TOWN HALL” which can accommodate around 600 people which even has pretty good stage and lighting effect. :)

euphoria I have been participating in cultural programs right from my school days. But this time I tried something different. I compered the programme. Though I had no plans before, I was excited when my senior came and asked me whether I would like to accompany him for anchoring. At first, I thought of rejecting because I have never spoken in front of so many people. The thought of giving a flop show made my hairs stand. But I wanted to do it once in my life. My second thought told me to accept. I didn’t wanted to lose this opportunity. Who knows whether I will get this opportunity again!!!! So I just grabbed the opportunity and accepted. I was getting nervous as programme was nearing.

Finally the day arrived!!! I don’t know who did a magic on me. I was not a bit nervous. We had decided to continue the conversation somehow if someone forgets something in the middle. I think that was the main thing. Because even though we had our scripts ready, we knew that we can’t follow it word to word. We just wanted it to look casual and effective. Believe me, IT DID. Audience enjoyed all pranks we did on the stage. I was on the cloud 9 when my lecturers and friends told me that it came out very well.

I never thought I would be able to do this. Now I am confident that even I can talk in front of hundreds of people. I don’t know who was that magician who did a magic on me and filled such an amount of confidence. I am thankful to that magician!!!!  I am least bit nervous to talk in the crowd. :) Thanks EUPHORIA which helped me realize what I am…!!!! :)

    I too was little nervous during my first anchoring but being a teacher made it easier for me. And now I am an expert at that :)

    As they say, life presents itself in front of you with umpteen opportunities to discover oneself ! … Guess EUPHORIA was one of those that helps discover your hidden ‘anchoring’ talent !!! :)

    I guess there is not much for me to say here. The only thing I CAN do is applaud your new-found confidence. I hope you keep this up and improve your communication skills further. Oh, please don’t go attend some stupid workshop on communication skills. It comes with practice and experience. :) All the best! :)

      Somethings are best learnt through experiences. What Aditya needs is SUPPORT and ENCOURAGEMENT. He will surely learn the rest. :)
