Introduction of Theme: 

In 1866, two separate entrepreneurs started milk business.  They were rivals and both competing companies in Switzerland. By, 1905 both men were dead, but the two companies were doing good. Later, merged to become one. Today it’s the largest food company and we call it NESTLE. Remembered Maggi, kit-kat, Nescafe N number of our favorite products. By coming together, instead on their own they showed synergy. It’s all about Interaction and collaboration to achieve greater Goal.

       Good evening fellow toastmasters and my dear guests.

I welcome you all to this 627th Meeting of Infosys Pune Toastmasters Club, 299th Meeting of TMC Pune North West and 25th Meet of Eaton Toastmasters with our theme for today being Synergy. Yes, as theme is about working together, instead on their own, we have this Joint Meet of Area C4 today.

For me Synergy is all about 3 C’s: Communication Collaboration Cooperation.Same way our structure of toastmasters meeting also has 3 parts. Today we have an additional Educational session as well by TM Prachi:

Let me now quickly explain the structure of a Toastmasters meeting:

The structure of a Toastmasters meeting is designed in such a way that the Toastmasters helps us in improving our communication and leadership skills and we in turn help each other to further improve upon it. Our meeting would consist of three sections:

1.Prepared speech sections, wherein the club members deliver their prepared speeches or rather attempt projects from their pathway manuals.

2.Then, we have a very interesting and thought-provoking Table Topics Session (a kind of Impromptu Speaking Session) in which a topic would be given to you by our Table Topics Master and all you have to do is come up and speak on it spontaneously. This is a session especially for our esteemed guests to help them experience the art of public speaking. Also, you stand a chance of winning the Best Table Topic Speaker award complemented with our 100 Rs Amazon voucher.

3.Any lastly, we have our evaluation session wherein the Individual Evaluators evaluate the prepared speakers and the General Evaluator with his TAG team evaluates the entire meeting in general.

He believes use of social media to “Connect with each other in today’s fast life through whatsapp, Facebook, instagram etc. Also through some of the applications like zoom, skype, Microsoft teams, google meet, Google duo etc”. I think we all are using it extensively. Join me in welcoming our Ah Counter, TM Venkatesh

Humourous Speech contest: If there was no Google

Delivered on 16th Sept 2020 in IPTMC

Title: If there was no google

Have you ever tried to google your problem? Small or large, someone would have put an answer on internet, saying your problem is nothing. Mine is bigger, and you would end of reading someone else's problem..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good evening fellow toastmasters and dear guest.  No response to my greetings. I think audience is still thinking about their problems. I will tell you guys the one problem in your life.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Your E-mail ID password is going to expire on 9/16/2020 10:13:03 AM Indian Standard Time. Change your password NOW!!! It is recommended that you do not wait till the last day of password expiry!!! and we don’t change passwords till last date. Am I right, that way? I change my password on time.  I have changed password more that 100 times in past few years : Outlook hounds me every month. Do you remember when Gmail asked to change password. Gmail never asked me to change the password until last month. Last Month, Gmail also asked me to change the password. but it said you haven’t password in last 10 years. It was computer class, my teacher smacked hard on my head, focus on making your g-mail and not suggesting girls what should be there passwords. It was there, in such hostile environment I was introduced to google and Gmail. My first google search was: “Why do Indian teachers beat students? ”I just google it whatever might be my problem.

Growing up, I made Gmail my one stop solution to all my problems: Whatsoever difficult problem in your life, just open your Gmail account. I am sure there you will get solution of all your problems. Let’s see what I have today

             I want to study in foreign university, more than 100 universities mails, 50 offering  100% scholarship,20 offered me no hostel charges and free food and 2 universities will come to my house to pick and drop.

             High-5 banks giving me loan for no reason with least interest rate. Banks giving loan in 10 min.

             Companies offering jobs with salary much more than my current one, but initial deposit worth two years of my salary

             Some XYZ clinic, guarantee solution to all problems maybe that be Hair-loss.

             This is interesting, Mails from Robin sharma, Heyy Nageshwar you are awesome and I’ve decided to share my entire playbook that I’d previously only offered to my ultra-successful clients, so that you will x25 the rest of your pro and private life.

             What else I need in my life. Am I right, that way? 

My other problem: I was nuked the day when educator came up with recursion concept. Educator will all his might tried to explain recursion to me. Then, I went to my crush, with all her charisma tried to explain recursion, all I got about recursion that it causes headache. Then she took me to a guy. That fellow, we won’t talk about it. I just googled it. Finally, googled recursion. I got correct result but Did you mean: recursion. I clicked, again same page with same question Did you mean: recursion. After 5th click, I understood what is recursion better than anyone in the class and myself came up with simplest definition of recursion. Me going to my crush, my crush going to her crush itself is a recrusion. Am I right, that way? Google has its own way of teaching you.

My other problem: We like people who don’t forget our birthday and wishes on time. Google not all wishes me on birthday, but on all festivals, even wishes me on valentine’s day, though only day I don’t get whats app forward. So I wondered, if google is a girl or boy? If you think, I again googled it for results, you are absolutely wrong. Google obviously is a girl, who starts suggesting, answers even before we complete our questions. If girls still don’t agree with this, just remove G,O,O what left is GLE. Am I right, that way? You can thank me later to make you realize this.

There's a famous quote that is attributed to Albert Einstein: “Never memories something that you can look up.” All he meant was just google it. Now coming to the most difficult question. What if there is no google? It’s a Good question …I will google it.
