“Have a vision” “Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others”. That was a quote by Jonathan Swift. I understood the true meaning of these words while watching a talk show, in which they invited people who had contributed to society by their simple work. The host said, “Please welcome Divyanshu. He loves to paraglide, swim and sky dive.” I wondered what was so great about a person who loved adventure sports. Then Divyanshu

President’ s Corner

Divyanshu was holding a white stick in his hand. He was blind! When asked how he man-aged to overcome this hurdle, he said “I have lost my sight, not my vision.”. That’s a sim-ple thought with so much depth. In life, it is very necessary to have a vision. Vision not only helps us fulfil our dreams, but also guides us. If you have a vision, you know what you are doing, why you are doing it and how you can get it done.

All of us are blessed with friends, families and a lot of other luxuries. Yet we have hundreds of complaints. We often blame our failures on circumstances or people. Some-times we stop ourselves from taking that first step towards our dreams. We don’t attempt new things since no one else has done it either. Just imagine if Divyanshu would have stopped himself because no blind person has ever gone paragliding. His dreams would have died with him. But he didn’t listen to the world; he listened to his own inner voice. It was his attitude that made him achieve whatever he dreamt of.

Attitude is extremely important in life. People with a positive attitude always look at a half filled glass with water and say that is half full, and not half empty. They fill the remainder of the glass with their hard work. On the other hand, people with negative attitude always think, “Oh! The glass is half empty” and they will never work towards filling the empty half. As Charles R. Swindoll said “Life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you react to it.” We always have choices in our lives; it is up to us to take that first step towards our dreams!

Toastmasters’ meetings are educative, entertaining and ef-fective. They impart great values through speeches and role plays. But what makes a regular meeting special? The planning, preparation and delivery or, in short, the quality of the meetings! What is a Quality Meeting?

A quality meeting is one in which the session begins and ends in time. The roles are effectively played; the speeches are meticulously prepared and the objectives are met. The evaluations are enlightening; the table topics are relevant and easy to talk on; and the overall atmosphere is cheerful with good attendance. A prompt minutes of the meeting after the session qualifies for a quality meeting.

Quality Meetings

Why are quality meetings significant?

Quality meetings are the magnets that attract existing members to participate proactively. They also help the guests to understand the process and roles clearly and help in their decision to join the club or not. Guests who attend the Toastmasters meeting for the first time may have many doubts and a streamlined meeting clarifies most of their doubts. The remaining doubts are to be cleared by the experienced Toastmasters attending the meeting.

How do you organize a quality meeting?

Agendas are to be put up at least 10 days in advance. Replacement speakers and role players are to be kept informed in case the assigned members pull out at the last minute. Speakers and role players should prepare diligently as there is lot of effort involved on the audience side too. Useful tips to improvise the speeches can be taken from senior mentors. Members are also encouraged to take up more roles. By playing roles, members not only gain confidence to speak in front of an audience, but they also get ideas to weave into their speeches.

Advantages of a quality meeting:

The obvious advantage is the retention of existing members and club growth in the form of new members. The club is recognized well in the Toastmasters circle and in the community. Above all, involving every member in the club’s goals is the best way to have quality meetings.

Are you tired of your job? If you are tired of your job or feel

bored at work, then you’re not alone. I feel the same way too!I’ve been working as a professional homemaker for the past sixteen years and recently, I also hit saturation point. That’s when I decided it was time to try something new! I decided to try a hand at public speaking. I felt that my communication skills at home, which is my work place, needed some polishing. It was TIME to ASK “my boss”, my better half, for a new car and a credit card. After the first meeting at Toastmasters, I realized that I came to the right place at the right time. For a professional home maker, stepping out of her home is the biggest challenge, and I took that big step against all odds. If you want a different result, make a different choice, rediscover yourself every season."

Seasons of Rediscovery

On returning home late night from the first meeting, I found my husband’s face as big as an inflated balloon, ready to explode. The look said it all— It was his “You forgot to leave dinner for me” look. Anxiously, I thought to myself, “ Gosh, this could be my first and last meeting at Toastmasters”. Finally after composing himself, he asked me genuinely concerned, “What are you going to do with public speaking at your age?” Even though I felt like an ancient oak tree for a second, I didn’t let his comment dampen my spirit. I decided to answer it like a table top-ic question that I had witnessed that evening. I recited a quote by Brigham Young that I heard at the meeting. “You educate a man, you educate a man. You educate a woman, you educate a generation.” My husband’s expression was a mixture of amazement and enlightenment.

Like an award for the best table topic, he asked me to register at the very next meeting. After sixteen years of being together, my husband told me something that sounded like music to my ears. In his deep wise voice, he said, ”Do not live for the expectation of people around you. Live for yourself, for your dreams, for your happiness”. After a pause, he added, “As long as there is dinner on the table.” That’s when I knew that I had found my new passion and re-discovered the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.

You educate a man, you educate a man!

You educate a woman, you educate a generation!

As I got engrossed in role plays and speeches, I felt like an enthusiastic ten year old going to a soccer club. It was then that my husband found himself home alone, managing three kids, twice a month or more. He was forced to rediscover his hidden talent for cooking, managing our kids and keeping home tidy. Nowadays when I return home after a meeting, there is a simple, tasty meal on the table, a squeaky clean kitchen and well-fed children tucked in bed. I secretly thank Toastmasters for this miraculous new husband. A quote by Auguste Rodin with a twist describes my family -"I invent nothing, I rediscover myself every new season."

“Life is all about taking chances, trying new things, having fun, making mistakes and learning from it. You’ll find your true calling through seasons of rediscovery.“

Thanks to my passion for Toastmasters, our overly dependent kids from last winter have become extremely independent this summer. Now the children not only help their dad with housework, but also do their own homework. In my husband’s words, “This house has become peaceful ever since you have become a Toastmaster. You even give the children compliments before you point out suggestions for improvement.” Today, my entire family is indebted to Toastmasters for not only having me out of the house but also for aiding in their re-discovery. Nowadays when I leave for the TM meetings and close the door behind me, I can over hear my excited husband asking the kids,” So What do we make for dinner today?” All I can say is “Thank you Toastmasters for helping us rediscover ourselves and bringing peace and harmony into our home”. And by the way, thanks to my improved communication skills, I did manage to get that car and credit card too!

Friends, remember that life is all about taking chances, trying new things, having fun, making mistakes and learning from it. So don’t hesitate to take that little step out of your comfort zone and re-discover yourself!

We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future

Year 2015 is drawing to a close and very soon, on January 17

2016, ICC EVES Gavels will become ONE year old. It’s amaz-ing how fast time flies by! It seems like it was only yesterday that we cut the inauguration ceremony cake and al-ready, it is time to welcome a new leaders team. Though in its maiden year, ICC EVES Gavels has shown tremendous pro-gress and is already 35 members strong. We have had 18 vi-brant meetings and each has been a fertile ground for confidence building and skills development. Though teething

problems were evident in the initial months, the gaveliers were quick to familiarize them-selves with the Toastmaster protocol. Now, the members are enthusiastically vying for meeting roles. Two new roles ‘Overall Timer’ and ‘Wordmaster’ had to be introduced to cater to the demands for role play. Most members have finished the first 2-3 projects and the tempo is steadily rising.

The 2015 club contests were also held successfully. Club President Varghese George did us proud by winning the ‘2nd runner-up trophy’ in Division contests, humorous speech cate-gory. ICC EVES gavelier Aashiya Shaji brought laurels to the club by becoming a finalist in both Qatar Open and ICC ONE public speaking championships.

“I hope that the ICC EVES GAVELS club will always be a haven of learning opportunity for young leaders.“

It has been a tremendous united effort. I am indebted to my dedicated team - Assistant Counselor TM Shainy Kabeer, Supports TM Rifna Sadath, TM Kavitha Tauro, TM Prathibha Ramesh and other members of ICC-EVES Toastmasters club who pooled in to help during contests and events.

Even though the accomplishments are many, the club still has a long way to go. Evalu-ations and Table Topics are still grey areas with ample room for improvement. Also the members have immense potential and can be groomed to compete better in con-tests.

I am confident that the new counselors’ team will take up this challenge and lead the club to more success in the years to come.

Personally for me, the creation and mentoring of the ICC EVES gavel club has been an enriching experience. I have learnt many valuable life lessons while interacting with young minds and I am truly grateful to the gaveliers and parents for their enthusiastic support.

I hope that the ICC EVES GAVELS club will always be a haven of learning opportunity for young leaders.

An Illuminating Meeting

Meeting Theme: Lights, Word of the Day: Illuminate

Believing in Expressing

The general purpose is to make all of you aware of the importance of expressing in your day to day life. We need to express from time to time not only for our benefit but also for others around us. We are the only creatures on earth to be gifted with the power of speech and most of the countries have adopted freedom of speech and expression as a fundamental right. If you express, life altogether is a different journey. If not it is like grouping in a dark tunnel.

'Believing in expressing' - What does it mean? Question arises, what is expression? How, when and to whom should you express? Expressing is nothing but communication. It not only stands for verbal communication, but also includes gestures, body language and written notes too. It can be in any form - like an appreciation, a comment, a compliment or a simple conversation. When we lead a social life, we are expected to perform some roles at the same time. Each role demands a specific type of communication. The style, intensity, time and mode all depend on the demand of situation and the person you are trying to communicate to.

Now you may ask why should we express ourselves. Is it necessary to be open?

Yes it is important to express. We not only live for ourselves but for others too. To make our relationship easy, and comfortable, we need to understand each other. For this, communication is a must. When we communicate we analyze ourselves, exchange ideas. This contributes to our personality development. Introverts never believe in expressing, so the world is a very small place for them. Perhaps they ignore the spice of life and they are incapable of unveiling the mystery of life.

The other day my friend seemed totally confused and came to seek my advice. She looked miserable. Her problem was that she liked a guyand wanted him to be her life partner. But she hesitated to speak out. She is scared of rejection. Looking at her heavy heart and tired tongue, I convinced her to go ahead and approach directly. Lets take a chance, after all life is like this. Unless you take a chance and challenge yourself, you can’t get anything in life. It was not easy for her but she expressed her desire finally to the guy in question. Luckily he agreed and they became life partners. On her wedding day, I sent her a card that read "Believe in expressing"! Today I want to express myself and my feelings about the power of expression. If I don't speak out today, I'm afraid that I wont be able to express myself ever. Time might fly by and it may be too late in expressing one of the greatest truths of life.

TM Susmitha Patnaik

(Contd..)

If this is a fact of life, why do some people on earth prefer to be tongue-tied? The prominent reason is the fear of rejection. Some time we are conditioned to certain fear, like the fear of being left alone and the fear of being disliked. We undermine ourselves giving way to inferiority complex and lack of self confidence. Some times we fail to be honest with ourselves. Small facts of life can explain this situation. In a class room, you remain silent even if you know the answer. People hurt you easily, but you still don't object. You like a person, but you fail to express it. Gradually a sense of insecurity develops. Feelings die and you become dull, inferior and lonely. Personally I’m concerned about this because I have gone through many situations where my inability to express myself has disappointed me. During my student days, I was in a big gathering of poets. My favorite poet was sitting next to me. I was exited to meet and greet him. For some reason I couldn't utter a single word. Finally he left, disappointing me forever. After a few days one of my good friends lost her mother. I couldn't face her because I was not very sure whether I would be able to console her or not. When I met her later, my condolences didn't make any sense. I regretted that a lot. But after these incidents, I developed a strong feeling to be expressive. Gradually I felt better and more confident and it changed my personality completely.

Today there are occasions where I prefer to be silent, of course keeping in mind, situation and the person concerned. I'm convinced that even if you don't get anything tangibly, at least the regret of not expressing is not there once you decide to speak out. Dear friends, being expressive is the first step towards a successive career. All successful people share one thing in common that is the power of expression. Come forward and be expressive but you have to over come all the barriers first. To be expressive you need to be assertive. and believe in yourself.

Tips on becoming expressive

1-Believe in yourself and stand for your rights

2-Carry yourself well

3-Improve your body language

4-Be honest with yourself and others

5-Communicate your thought in a open and direct manner

6-Make things happen, do not wait for things to happen

7-Face a problem, do not run away to escape the consequences

8-Accept your weakness, maintain your self-respect whether you win or lose

Dazzling Divine Derbyshire

I spent two memorable weeks this summer in Derbyshire with my brother and his family. Derbyshire was a holiday in every sense of the word……it was relaxing, rejuvenating and reenergizing. In comparison to the blazing summer of Qatar, the summer in Derby felt like cold cream on the skin of a desert dweller like me. Not just the weather, but the sights and sounds of Derby were equally soothing to the body, mind and soul. Derby has a beautiful countryside in the east Midlands of England and is a

three hour drive from London. Rolling farms that seemed like green, gorgeous, gardens greeted us as we drive into Derbyshire. It comprises of a large areas of agricultural lands and is sparsely populated, no wonder I was surprised to see more sheep’s and cow’s than people around in Derby.

I was dazzled by Derbyshire’s bustling market towns, villages, hills, dales and rivers. I was equally amazed at the rich blend of history, heritage and customs that date back to time immemorial.

Did you know that Derby is al-so home to Rolls Royce, Toyota, Ford and Throntons?

Derdyshire today is best know for its Peak district National park, which is recognized for its outstanding and largely un-spoilt scenery. It’s a fantastic place to visit for a family day out or a short holiday. We visited Derby’s finest and most popular dale called the Dovedale ( a dale is another name for valley), it is surrounded by beautiful satin green hills and crystal clear

streams. This place is great for long walks and climbing. Dovedale has become a National Nature reserve as it is one of England’s finest wildlife sites.

Another place that dazzled me was the Keddlestone hall. Keddlestone hall is a spectacular 18th century mansion on a 900 acre green stretch. It was designed for lavish entertainment and displays an extensive collection of paintings.

Derby is a city and an

unitary authority area in the

East Midlands region of

England. It lies on the banks

of the River Derwent in the

south of the county of Der-

byshire, of which it is the

county town.

TM Prathibha Ramesh

Keddlestone hall is a spectacular 18th century colossal mansion, situated on a 900 acre green stretch.

It belonged to the Curzon family and is now a property of the national trust. Lord Curzon, who was a viceroy to India, lived here. One of the rooms in this mansion serves as a museum with fascinating objects and treasures acquired from his travels to Asia and India. This impressive mansion is surrounded by luxurious gardens called pleasure grounds. The gardens are designed to merge with the natural surroundings. The Keddlestone Hall was used as a key location for the Hollywood Blockbuster movie “The Duchess”, starring Keira Knightley.

The icing on the cake was the trip to Manchester to meet my sister-in-law’s family. Han-nah’s entire family including grandparents, cousins, uncles, and aunts were waiting at the door to receive us. I was humbled by their love, warmth and hospitality. They treated us to high tea and a delicious dinner. This gesture drove home the thought that families are the same anywhere you go, always there to love and care for each other. The rest of our holiday at Derby consisted of spending quality time with my little nephew and niece and talking endlessly with my sister-in-law. We also went on long leisurely walks in the woods and neighborhoods. We met local people, ate local delicacies, and familiarized ourselves with the pulse of Derby. At the end of our wonderful two week stay, my kids refused to come back to Doha and I had to promise them another trip to Dazzling Derbyshire.

Humorous Speech Contest

Quick Dinner Recipe

Steam cook all the vegetables except onions, tomatoes and capsicum (green bell pepper) in a pressure cooker or microwave oven or a steamer. The vegetables have be to cooked well. Peel the potatoes. Roughly chop all the veggies except peas. Mash the vegetables and keep aside. Just lightly mash with a potato masher or with a spoon. Don’t make a puree. In a pan, melt butter. Add cumin seeds. When they sizzle, add the chopped onions. Fry onions till they become translucent. Now add the ginger-garlic paste. Sauté till the raw aroma of the ginger-garlic paste disappears. Add chopped green chilies and sauté for a half a mi-nute. Add the tomatoes. Stir and mix the tomatoes with the rest of the mixture. Saute till the tomatoes become soft and mushy and you see the fat from the sides. About 6 to 7 minutes on a low to medium flame. Add the chopped capsicum. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the chilly powder, turmeric powder and pav bhaji masala. Stir and sauté for a 1 to 2 minutes till the chopped capsicum softens a bit. A little crunch is alright. Now add the mashed vegetables. Add water and combine everything well. Season with salt. With a pota-to masher, mash the veggies directly in the pan.. Keep on stirring occasionally and let the bhaji simmer for 12-15 minutes. If the bhaji becomes dry and then add some more water. The consistency is neither very thick nor thin. When the pav bhaji simmers to the desired consistency, check the taste. Add salt, pav bhaji masala, red chili powder to taste.

Serve pav bhaji hot garnished with coriander leaves and a few cubes of butter. You can add more butter, if you like it. In fact, with more butter, the pav bhaji tastes very good. Along side serve finely chopped onions and lime slices. The lime juice has to be squeezed on the bhaji and topped with chopped onions. Also serve buttered and lightly pan fried pav along with the bhaji.
