Staying True

This is one of those moments.
About something i came across where i realized how much difficult it is to be true to self.
It becomes extremely difficult to keep those thoughts within.
But at the same time you cant let it go just like that.
One of the fears being how that person to will take it.
Things get worse when that person is one of those you care the most.

Now how do you come out of this shit?
Keep those thougths within and act diplomatic or let it out just the way you feel and anxiously wait how it would be taken.
Well i went for the second. Man! it was a hard moment. Had never done that before.
It broke the impression, got tears in those eyes. But i had to do it.
That was the best way i could be true to myself.

Presentation

It's been a while i attended any sort of self development training
Since i had no work and simultaneously the 'Presentation Skills' training came up i opted for it.

Well the write up is about an observation on the presentation.
We had to give a 3 minute presentation for pre-assessment.

So i talked about a topic too. Just to make it interesting i took a funny topic.
I was sitting in the bus on my way back home,thinking about that episode
Inspite of being an ordinary presentation the topic was found interesting by the team. They got involved so much that they even forgot to give their observations.
A tangential discussion started based on my topic and few of them started talking about thier experience too. So what went wrong/right

I came to the conclusion:
Discussion can turnout good inspite of ordinary explanation if the topic is found interesting.
If this is true then what about the contrary side.
Can the discussion still be good with a very boring topic with extra-ordinary presentation?

Well lets see if i can recollect some examples on most common topics
Cricket - Indian Premiere League, a hit!
Romance - Movies: Same theme but diffent repesentations has resulted in blockbusters

So the contrary side also holds true :)
