ALL NEW MEMBERS PLEASE DO READ
Its been some time.. i do check the blog every now and then and yesterday i happened to see mash's post in which he mentioned abt the level of seriousness in the sessions... He has made a very true point... Cross talking is at an all time high i guess..(and i am gulity as charged..!)See cross talkin or even crackin jokes between speeches is fine as long as you are listening... at least tht's what i've felt... The question answer session is also as lively as ever... but the sad fact is that only a handful of people are asking the questions... i see a very big chunk of people who have yet to start firing questions... 10 people being attentive and 20 others listening muted spoils the entire idea of the table topic session....
all the new members... please take a note of how the senior members like anuroop conduct themselves during the session.. YES THEY'LL TALK IN BETWEEN... BUT THEY ARE SHARP AND ATTENTIVE... and they'll always have their hands up after a speech... with really good questions..
and as for grilling.... the current bunch is extremely lucky for they've not been grilled half as we were( no offence guys!)... DO NOT RESTRICT THE GRILLING TO INTROS... GRILL EVERY SINGLE SPEECH... let the speakers fend for themselves... and there should be no bias there...
i have been caught up with a lot of things these days.. but god knows i miss the sessions... i really miss em...
and one more thing... the moderator is GOD... you don't talk back... if u do.. u get thrown out...
see such little things go a long way... once the session is over everything is chilled out...
but when inside the session.. take it a little seriously...
uni-y is a cathredal( moderator is the pope!) all right.. but fun and mirth come along with the prayer service...
take care..
