Toastmasters.org

I recently joined in Toastmasters club here at Oracle, Hyderabad.
Toastmasters meet emphasize on developing our public speaking skills, listening skills, team work, leadership skills and so on.
Its good to see how we address people and how we speak on the topic which you know at instant.
Really cool, i always love to speak a lot about anything. (most interested to speak about technologies not hifi,wifi - simple technology or product which changes lives - not aptech ad :P, but evolutionary technologies like google or youtube or orkut or flickr which make you alcholic n addictive to use it)

My next topic of interest is Sports (from F1 to cricket, i love to speak about sports, but not much technical knowledge in all sports except cricket)

Then I can speak about all rubbish politics, hanging share market, stupid reservations in iits/iims. Not but the least i can give tons of advices to my younger generation (ask any of my friends who r affected ;)

I want to:
1. Develop good public speaking skills
2. Try to build rapport with people whom you don't know or meeting for first time
3. Read books, magazines to increase the size of your knowledge bank

I dont want to:
1. Give advice to fellow-human beings (but i can always advice my friends not to do this, i never hesitate to tel this atleast)
2. Feel shy to speak in a crowd whom are better than you in looks and talents
3. Vethu peelas, peteru, bong adikaradhu - i really dont wanna speak in the topic which i dont know at all ( i did this till this point of time in my life, started in aural-oral in schools, continued in college vivas, then campus interviews, then walkins, appraisal meetings, so on n so forth)
But i really started hating these a lot after understanding where we r upto n whr v r goin???

Cool....
I guess i m trespassing by 1st dont want to :P

cheers!
