EUNOIA EUNOIA EUNOIA EUNOIA Club Tit-bits By Arijit Singha Roy, Infosys Toastmasters Bhubaneswar ­SEZ Within a small span of time, the club has become a buzzword around the small campus and people have shown great interest and enthusiasm. The formal sessions till date, comprising of Table Topics, speeches and evaluations, has seen meticulous participation from all members and guests. The sessions are conducted with utmost sincerity and dedication. Currently, the club also meets over informal sessions held 3 days a week. These sessions deal with the needs of the members as in mentoring speeches, Effective Evaluation, how to choose topic for one’s speech to games like Half a Minute, Spin a yarn etc. Our club is lucky to have Saurabh Chandra Tripathi, a newly crowned DTM, as a mentor and guide. Within this short time, the club has witnessed two Ice Beaker Contests, which saw a total of 11 members break the ice. This was succeeded by the club elections and chartering. We are thankful to Area H3, Area Director, TM Anirban Bhattacharjee and TM Saurabh Chandra Tripathi for all their guidance, help and support during all these process. This was quickly followed by Club Level Humorous Speech Contest and Evaluation Contest. The Winners and the 1st Runners Up from both these contests, represented the club at the Area H3 contest held at TCS Maitree, Bhubaneswar. For the club level events, we are grateful to TM Ayan Chatterjee who travelled all the way to SEZ Campus to mentor all of us for the contest. It is a matter of immense pride for the club to have two participants – TM Smita Pati (Winner Evaluation Contest, Area H3) and TM Sidharth Suman Bhuyan (1st Runners Up - Humorous Speech Contest, Area H3), in the upcoming Division H contest. Seeing the accomplishment of this club at such a tender age, we feel the ardor and zeal around the club members is only bound to grow. We have started with a bang, but the journey is all that lies ahead - the one we get to make worthwhile. Because WE CAN and WE WILL. SEP 2016 | EUNOIA | 19
