It is Poila Boisakh i.e. Bengali New Year today. Wish you "Subho Naboborsho"!
I started writing diary today. This is as a result of a decision that I had taken yesterday when I realised that this is the best way to pen down the daily events that make an impact on my life and my thoughts on a regular basis. This also helps improve ones writing capability. Helps form a structured way of expressing anything that we want to share. In fact my overall objective is to improve myself in public speaking. That is where all this actually started almost a year back. I started searching for available options to achieve it. I was also ready to pay a reasonable amount for that. I explored the option of becoming a member of Toastmasters club. Even tried to start a Toastmasters Corporate Club in my office in Capgemini Kolkata. But somehow it did not materialise. However I had already started reading books and blogs and watching hundreds of YouTube videos on various related topics like body, mind and consciousness. Topics related to Srimadbhagvat Gita and other Hindu Scriptures interested me a lot. They were very insightful especially the way it explains how one should lead ones life and why. I did a few sessions on Sanskrit as well. It was very refreshing!
Then finally at the end of March 2019 I got the opportunity to visit Les Fontaines campus of Capgemini University in France for a course on Collaboration with clients. That impacted my views on the way I was leading my daily life both personal and professional. I realised that it is high time that I must find out something that interests me the most. Something that I can gracefully do till the end of my life. Towards the end of my stay in Les Fontaines, a Skill Boosters session on 'Business Storytelling' made me believe that I can do that for as long as I want. However when I told my story as an exercise during the session I realised I have to improve a lot to become one who is worth listening. That is again sort of a Public Speaking skill only. So is the decision to put down on the paper all that I think or happens to me. I am sure this will improve my skills down the line. This way I can also help a lot of other people around me in improving their lives. Let's see how it will progress day by day. I am sure you will be by my side in this new journey...
