GENERAL
MEETING: 187
MEETING NUMBER: 187
Date: 06/01/2017
Venue:VIT board room
Time: 12:30 pm-02:30 pm
THEME:
“SUPERNATURAL”
‘Silence’, it speaks a lot. Try to listen
to the sounds around you in silence. Have you ever felt the powers that you can’t
see? Have you ever felt a power that’s driving you and you can’t understand
why? Have you ever tried to answer the ever prompting question, “Is it real?”?
Yes, surely you must have and termed those weird powers as ‘supernatural’.
Supernatural that which is not from the
observable, tangible, or measurable universe, or
,in simple words, “beyond nature”. There are many words related to this,
like mystical, spiritualistic, divine or metaphysical. On one hand, many think
‘’supernatural” simply means there’s no known explanation for it yet. They use
‘supernatural’ as a stopgap measure (commonly called as ‘the God of the Gaps’)
until somebody finds a reasonably reasonable ‘answer’. While others use
‘supernatural’ to describe just about anything that happens a little strangely.
Some people are prone to superstition, UFOs and lifestyle fictions. Like, while
praying for someone, if the flame of the diya blows out, then the person you were
praying for is in major harm might even DIE; a funny looking cloud or lightning
will make people think about UFOs or
aliens.
With keeping this theme in mind a general
meeting was organized in VIT toastmasters
and it was initiated by our former SAA TM
Rishabh in absence of present presiding officer. After getting acquainted with
the basic code of conduct of the meeting by SAA, the TMOD TM Hemant initiated
the meeting.
The TMOD Tm Hemant initiated very
dramatically, in accordance with the theme, with lights off and a candle in
hand. He made the ambiance full of
supernatural powers by his imaginative situations of being in a castle,
abandoned from years, in which all other members have dared to enter unaware of
the outcomes. He even made the table topic session more interesting by saying,
“Imagine you are driving on an empty road and its midnight. Suddenly your car
broke down and a shadow appears on the road. It’s becoming bigger, bigger and
boom! It enters in the car and chokes you. The same happens in the table topic
session of our meeting. You see those devils, the topics, in front of you and
they choke you for a while. But, we need to fight and defeat them to break the
fetters and move ahead. So, I would like to call upon thestage the TTM for today’s meeting, Tm Mahima.”
This first meeting of new tenure had five sessions.The first session involved theintroduction of new EC members to other
members. The second session was prepared
speech session in which speakers were guided from their modules. The third session was Table Topic session (commonly
termed as extempore) in which members got a topic to speak with their
instantaneous thoughts. The fourth
session was Evaluation session in which evaluators gave their feedback for the
speakers guided by modules. The fifth
session was announcing the winners, i.e., best speaker, best table topic
speaker and best evaluator. Members of VIT TOASTMASTERS family justified their
projects beyond expectations.
