Gauthami's Words




With MCO kicking off, I had more opportunities to attend webinars across the globe. Recently, 1 of the university organised a talk where a popular actress Gauthami was the speaker.

She had lot's of good inputs, especially, "Be in the tune of the world", which was an eye opener for me.

The common question thrown to her was "What do you do / how do you deal with negative people, especially when you are attacked by your relative".

Her answers were simple, negative people will always be there. 

- What you need to do is keep you eyes open, focus on what makes you happy. For negative people, bring down you could make them happy. But you need to focus on your objective.

- stay away from them and prove it with results. The results will make them to get jealous and be more focused to kill you, but sadly they stopped focusing on themselves, which indirectly they started to kill themselves. 

Popular speaker witnessing/honoring my session

While I'm used to give talks/presentation since 2005 to Toastmasters group, but in 2007, was my major breakthrough, where I had change to speak to non-toastmasters group, which had mixture of adults and youngsters from various profession and background.

On the same day I was given the honour to participate in a debate,where my teammate was 1 of the local tamil celebrity, Karu Karthik. The judge was Prof. Chitsabessan. Then I never knew much about him but thereafter, I got to know that he's one of the sought of speaker in Tamil Nadu and around the world for Tamil speaking community.

Towards end of the debate, he specifically mentioned my name and said "you gave a good speech in the morning. I wish you more success in coming years".

8 years later, it became like a turning point where I became the District Champion, followed by opportunities as moderator and panel speaker at events.

In addition, it progressed well, when I was also approached to become speech coach for international working adults and students.

The MCO, made me to upgrade myself to be a virtual speaker, where I hosted series of talks. The previous Sunday, I had speaker from Melbourne, Australia, whom spoke about managing millennial. Co-incidentally, the speaker happened to be the grandson of Chitsabessan, and he witnessed the session.

OMG...For a while I feel like floating....

What goes around comes around. Should you plant hardwork and honesty, 1 day it will flourish and give it back to you.

Seating structure in Parliament


For the 1st time Mahathir sat at the opposition camp. That also stir the unhappiness between his party member, especially when his Party , Parti Pribumi Bersatu join the ally with Barisan Nasional and Pas.

That indirectly caused Mahathir and his troops like Mukhriz, Syed Sadiq, Mazlee Malik membership been suspended/terminated.

Now the plan is to have Mahathir to become PM again with new alliance with Pakatan Harapan. Most likely, Mahathir has to charter a new party or join Amanah. Definitely not DAP or PKR.
