Here is my second speech at toastmasters. I must say it is the most constructive entertainment, and the best place to take your creativity out. (I go onto the stage with 3 balls in hand and start juggling.While still juggling I start)Good afternoon , Ladies and Gentlemen. Why am I doing this? (then deliberately dropping the last ball, showing that I could have easily caught it) or this? I can see a handful of reasons (I count 4 without using the middle finger).The first, the most obvious yet the most irrelevant is to show off my new talent. The second is in response to Manoj's evaluation to my ice breaker last week. He told me I kept my hands clasped and what better way to free them but to juggle.Speaking about ice breaker and slowly moving towards relevant reasons. I think it is a sound reasoning that if I could properly juggle balls on this sacred stage, juggling sentences while speaking would be easy. The fourth and the most relevant reason at least for today is that I want to c

When majority of people hear the word 'juggling' , their thought process goes like this "wow! -> esoteric -> useless -> not for me". These are the normal people. For some , like me, the thought process goes like " wow!-> wow! -> wow! " and they are stuck with three balls in 2 hands. I entered a trance as soon as I took hold of the balls for the first time. I could not complete a single cycle of three for the first 2 hours, but I never even looked at anything else. I feel both proud and stupid stating the above fact. Anyways exactly after 5 minutes of this 2-hours span I was able to complete 30 throws and was already praising myself. Again I was both happy and sad. Sad because I came out of the trance. The challenge was over. I had already lost half the interest in juggling that I started with. Now only incentive I had to keep juggling was to tell, show and perform in front of people (mostly wing-mates), to earn praise. Not that none of them we

Convinced about power of the ability to communicate and an utter lack of it in me, I have joined a club named Toastmasters. This saturday I have to give my ice breaker speech, in which I need to talk about myself. Following is what I plan to say. (I will go upto the dias and take out my mobile and start speaking)Nokia 6500. I met it exactly 22 years after I was born. It is heavier than its counterparts. It is rugged. It has had its hardships. It is unique. It is artistic and it is still technological. I love my phone . I connect with it! (pun intended) . Good afternoon friends! I am Tejesh Kinariwala and it is a privilege for me to speak about myself generally. It is more than a privilege today, because you will not only let me speak but also listen to it ... and even go further to actually clap at the end. Any ways, one more thing I forgot to tell you about my phone was that it has a loud speaker (through which it speaks and sings), but a relatively quieter mic (through which it liste

Its beautiful. Intelligent and elegant at the same time. Like watching a dance.

This beautiful song is written by Sankalp Dayal ( aka chacha)  in first year. I have added some music to it (not so much a music as a tune). We planned to compose a good song. Sankalp did his part. As always, I was the spoilsport. Hope to post a link to the complete audio some day Chahta hoon zindagi se milna par zindagi hai ke milna na chahe mujhse Har dayre ki jeet pakadna chahta hoon main par do mutthiyon mein thami hi na jaye Aasman ko lena chahu aaghosh mein Mar aasman hai ki simta na jaye mujhse Badhta hi chala jaye.. Li hai aaj pawan se dekho nayi hod maine Par zamee hai ki chodna na chahe mujhko Khwaish insaa ko badalne ki rakhta hoon zahan mein Par insaan hai ki sunana na chahe mujhko .... Riff .... Ansuni hi kiye jaye Sudharna hi nahi chahe Ubharna hi nahi chahe Mujhko hi badale jaye... main badalta chala jau dar jau sikud jau har kadam pe ladkhadau kuch kam har din ho jau... sau bahane main banau khwab takna bisar jau daldal mein ghusta jau

By Isaac Asimov I know many of the readers of this blog will connect to it, as much as I do What is intelligence, anyway? When I was in the army, I received the kind of aptitude test that all soldiers took and, against a normal of 100, scored 160. No one at the base had ever seen a figure like that, and for two hours they made a big fuss over me. (It didn't mean anything. The next day I was still a buck private with KP - kitchen police - as my highest duty.) All my life I've been registering scores like that, so that I have the complacent feeling that I'm highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so too. Actually, though, don't such scores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are considered worthy of answers by people who make up the intelligence tests - people with intellectual bents similar to mine? For instance, I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not possibly h

The antithesis involved in "Too many cooks spoil the broth" yet "Many hands make the work light" have intrigued me since I first learnt them. So has also the existence of almost opposite religious beliefs. Both sides are right. Both sides are wrong. I believe that both are right, because the prescibers believe that they are right. But I think they are wrong because they prove others wrong by the following argument. I am right for sure (agreed). He thinks exactly opposite of what I think (agreed) and so he must be wrong for sure (naah!). The whole thing is a logical trail followed by a presumption that the nature is defined by one rule. And what do we do when we arrive at a contradiction following a logical argument? We say that the presumption is wrong. So it is wrong to presume that there is one rule ,or religion,or proverb for life. Let me jump into something totally unrelated (and it would be cool to show in the end that , they were related. Or did I already spoi
