TABLE TOPICS
The jovial
Table Topics Master Vaidyanathan conducted an enjoyable table topics session
with a strict rule: every speaker had to speak for at least 90 minutes. For the
first time in BTMC history the table topics master was given a surprise topic
by the TOD, Vijay Kalkundri, after the session concluded, and he was hard
pressed to obey his own 90 minute rule!
The following
were the speakers and topics:
Bhavana Jha: What is the best part of growing older?
Mahesh Rao: What is the difference between living
and existing?
Kamal Garg: How do you define freedom?
Guruprasad: Which book has influenced you the most?
Joseph Dass: Is it possible to lie without saying a
word?
Aswathy Sreekumar: The message is more important than the
story
Chinnaiyan: Speak on a topic you love to speak about
Venkat (guest from Hyderabad TM): If you can’t convince then confuse
Swati Panda: Look before you leap
Santhosh Kumar: A stitch in time saves nine
Ganesh Pai: The bank of knowledge is never bankrupt
Esther: Define success
