Making of Managers 13 ::: I reached puberty TODAY

prelude ::: Please ignore my prior posting...In a way it is quite apt considering the topic that I spoke on...in today's practise session was "silence" !!!
Hi Gowri
No.13 they say is a unlucky number...It is quite a comedy to have this number for my today's posting for this series but I really dont mind as I am slowly going steady towards passion of my life and such silly misfortunes may not be capable of slowing down my march towards being a Trainer.....!!
To put it in nutshell, I arrive at the centre stage of this batch and quite eagerly look for the next 4 sessions too....Not to get elated about my successes but to learnt lot more which needs to be learnt.....!! Well, we were supposed to get ready with a topic (some thing general) and I had few thoughts on SILENCE which I casually tried extempored....while shitting yesterday (Yes, I meant it....see, this activity remains a signicant one in my life and all the turning points of my life). It was western commode and I talked to the wall in front of me....on silence and its power.....putting lot of things that I knew from Sadhguru and also few simple logical ones....I used an anology which was extremely appreciated by every one....I related it to darkness and told the group that SUN too has expiry date....!! the body was very well delivered...How about the opening and closing ??
I was lucky that when the II session started today after the break, there was a big pause when some one was asked to start off...(See my topic...SILENCE !!). I cashed in the opportunity and started extremely nicely with a pleasant manner...like this...."I looked around the study material where lot of topics were given...To be honest I did not even go through the complete list...Not much inspiring !! I thought I will better choose some thing on my own....I am going to share my thoughts on SILENCE...IT is a paradox isn't it ??"....
While ending too, I told the group "I am sure by now, you appreciate why silence is superior to speech...Let us realise this very clearly to be effective speakers....As a mark of respect to the grandeur of silence, I would request you not to clap for me when I finish....Let us better appreciate SILENCE instead of appreciating this person " showing at me !!
Now some thing more happened in today's class..During break, I casually heard some participant counselling our director and wanting to improve emails....and I joined them telling that I do have interest in this subject...The director asked me few questions and noted down few things on the content of what I told about email writing (I made it quite clear that I cannot share any materials with him as we have a strict Integrity policy at our company)....While I continued talking to this boy....He (the director) left to his seat and was scribbling down few things that I have told...and requested me again to join him for few more clarifications.....I sat in front of him and quite proud to say that I covered the content of our 6 hours training sessions in just 5 minutes.....because I was talking to some veteran.....As he scribbled down few of the things, I could see that his eyes were damn serious and he was looking at me very intently....as if he had discovered me....WHICH IS TRUE...Earlier He never got into so much details with me though he interacts nicely during the sessions with all (including me)
Now, this posting is not just to record my glee and my relief that getting a job in this industry is not going to be too competitive for me with my skill sets and capacity to improvise.....but to end with another wierd thing that happened.....(still having doubts if I should call these coincidences as "miracles"...)
While the director was writing down, casually I saw a book lying on his table...half read...(perhaps he read it while his mother took the class)....with Sai Baba's photo in the cover page....I abruptly stopped what ever I was talking and asked quite rudely "how did this man come here ?"....He could not understand for a while and I continued after a pause with shock "Believe me Sir, This person is chasing me like any thing for past two months...Any way I am sure I can cover that topic later to you just in case you are interested....!! let us continue with what ever we are talking !!"...His eyes - while he heard me telling this quite simply....AND when I explained the contents of the course that I handle at office....spoke to me lot more than his questions and clarifications....At last a veteran is looking at me intently and have started taking note of me !!!!
These days, I had a feeling if I am bit late in exploring this area...(public speaking / training)....and by any chance I should have done this class a decade back when I bumped on Isha.....?? BUT I nod my own head in refusal, as the flourishing that is happening today is well earned with the foundation of YOGA and the grasping power at the classes too is quite great just because of my age and experience....!!
Nothing happens unless the time has come...One need to just involve in the present....I have no regrets......Just focussing on getting ready for my ultimate profession.....THAT IS......to manufacture lot of Managers for India.... !!
Mera Bharat Mahaan !!
AND
Gurubyo Namaha !!
