Queen of Good Times

This is my first speech at Toastmasters Club....

Its called the ICE BREAKER...... 

The title is : Queen of Good Times!

Here is the Speech for you

I am sure, everyone one of you will agree that I am the Queen of Good times at the end of my speech..

I won the parent lottery

I was born with the winning ticket, a major reason I am able to live the life of my dreams

My father who has worked as a Finance Executive all his life, a complete workaholic who likes to go to office even on Sundays for two hours, the only man who I have never seen cursing anyone, a person who is totally content with his life, but this is just the sober part, the same person had also bunked school and watched 3 consecutive show of Amar Akbar Anthony, 12-3 3-6 6-9, had taken his fiancé for a bike ride date against the wishes of her parents, the same guy who has never missed a single E.P.L or I.P.L match. For these and a million other reasons he is the hero of my life.

My mother, my best friend is a simple sweet woman who has always taught me that the joy of giving is more than joy of receiving, whose major part of life was spent taking care of her two ninjas and in resolving fights of her young kids.

Who said world war three never happened, my mom has been witnessing it from the past 23 years of her life, and I and my elder brother are like chalk and cheese. We haven’t agreed on anything till now and I don’t see that happening in the near future too.

Coming to my childhood

My childhood was filled with infinite joys, joy of going to school every day, joy of doing homework every day, joy of playing every day, joy of riding that bicycle every day, jay of falling off from the cycle and getting that knee bruised every day, joy of having those big birthday parties with uncountable number of friends, the joy of losing your brother’s favorite car or pen and then crying so loudly and hearing a sorry in spite of saying it, the joy of playing teacher teacher to an invisible class, joy of winning the best dancer trophy on my 12^th b’day.

It was time when 3 dairy milks in day was the biggest bargain and drinking two glass of milk was the biggest achievement

This kind of childhood might sound quite ordinary by today’s standard but it was actually a magical childhood. I really see myself as a girl who had this incredible leg up in life because I had a mother and a father who gave me the freedom to be/ who got so many things right for me

The childhood gave way to even a better adulthood

After having a almost perfect school life, the time had come to change gears, to step out of those uniforms and start working in what people call the real world, towards those big dreams that I had in my eyes.

I wanted to become an MBA and that is why I joined BBA in JD Birla college and that wasn’t the only reason, JD Birla was said to have the best crowd in whole of Caluctta, and surely I wasn’t disappointed, the second day of my college and I open the gate of the computer lab, there I see a tall lean boy with most mischievous eyes I had ever seen, he was wearing a classic collared UCB blue tee with faded jeans and  such a killer smile, he smiled to me as I entered the lab and by God I was dead instantly. Well JD Birla had kept up the promise. I bet half my college life was spent staring at him profusely.

While pursuing BBA is also took up the CS course for I wanted to study law and an additional degree with MBA would have had sealed my place in the Executive Chambers.

I had my eyes on the sky.

I fared well in college, managed to be in the top 10 students at the end of the course and also an all India rank holder in the CS examinations

I was heading towards the perfect home run, I was about to complete my career slam but as they say life is full of surprises.What goes up must come down, the same happened to me

 Life had some different plans for me I was yet to learn a few lessons from life. They say life is all about balance, the co existence of positives and negatives together, what goes down up must come down and so it happened with me too

A family crisis happened, at the same time my best friend fought with me badly, my childhood friend got married and shifted to another city, my first attempt at CAT was a complete disaster, life surely became a mess, all plans and aspirations down the drain. This was an unfamiliar place, I was a winner and to take so many setbacks together took a toll on me

But life gives a problem with an inbuilt solution and when u are ready you see through it, it took almost a year and a half to bring my life back in shape with the help of friends family and my boss

Here I am standing in front of you on my two feet, proving that you fall in life only to rise higher.

Well after listening to all this, if you are looking forward to having a good time with me, I must tell you I am complete Cricket and lawn tennis fanatic and I love reading motivational books. I am a complete foodie and love eating all kinds of food, be it home cooked food, junk food, street food, food id food. I organize the most amazing birthday parties and I still don’t charge for them. In a party you will never ever see me standing in the corner, I am always at the dance floor and I dance till the lights go out.

Now do you all agree that I am really the Queen of Good Times!

P.S. I won the Best Speaker at the meeting
