Fellow Toastmasters and soon to be Toastmasters,
Dias of Toastmasters provide plethora of opportunities to
develop a true leader in all sense. Most of the times in our
life we need motivation to push us whereas Toastmasters
teaches us to pull the opportunities to us.
Meetings are conducted in a room but it allows to break the walls of
inhibitions built by oneself.
The environment of a toastmasters meeting is intoxicated with positivity and
motivation which encourages to realize or develop our hidden potential.
All the fellow toastmasters are the living examples of the success of
toastmasters .
Personally, I have benefitted a lot from Toastmasters whether it is related to
communication skills or it is leadership skills. The list is unending and it’s still
a long journey where we get interesting challenges and the courage to face
them with e lan.
Second Edition of Timbre Tunes is very special as we celebrate the success of
DTM Baburaj Parakkal, Club Officers Training, Fifth anniversary celebrations
of Timbre Talkers, joint meeting with Desert Pioneers Toastmasters Club.
The season was wonderful and horizon seems bright and beautiful as always.
Regards
TM Tanujh Singh
VP Public Relations
EDITOR’S NOTE…..

Road to DTM
My journey with Toastmasters
began when my neighbor TM John
Joseph requested me to attend a
Toastmasters meeting as a guest in
March 2010. Reluctantly, I agreed
to attend not knowing that it will be
a turning point in my life. I was
warmly welcomed by the Ex-com
members and within few minutes
was impressed by the array of
speakers who did their projects.
During the table topics session the
Table Topics master asked if any
guest volunteer and I took the
challenge. The topic given to me
was ‘Characteristics of a Leader.’
Moreover only able to talk for 30
seconds was itself a big challenge.
Next came the evaluation session
and that got me really interested
because I had never came across
such evaluations where the
speakers are told the positive
aspects of their speeches and areas
of improvement.
I decided to join toastmasters
because I truly believed my public
speaking and leadership skills
needed improvement. Within few
weeks of joining toastmasters I
started delivering my projects. The
encouragement received after my
Ice Breaker motivated me to get
ready for the second project. One of
the senior toastmaster gave me an
advice which I in turn now share it
with new toastmasters, i.e. ‘give
your speeches as per the
objectives.’ Following his advice, I
started delivering my CC projects
with extra care given in adhering
my speech to the project objectives.
By the time I completed my CC in
1.5 years there was a drastic
improvement in my public speaking
skills moreover I realized my
hidden talent in delivering
humorous speeches. This
encouraged me to compete in
Humorous contest and went up to
the division level. After that, I
started incorporating humor in
most of my projects building up on
my strength.
Most of the Toastmasters dread the
table topics session whereas I really
enjoy and look forward to
participate in all the meetings. This
helped me to improve my thought
process and also my recollection
capacity of phrases, quotes and
incidents which are essential for
any speech.
On the leadership front, I took up
the role of VP Education in 2010,
followed by President of Timbre
talkers in 2011 and in 2012 took up
as the Area Governor. These roles
helped me to hone my leadership
skills especially to work with a non-
profit organization and interacting
with members from diverse
background. I took up the Judging
of the Division I contest as my High
Performance Leadership project
which helped me implement the
project management skills I had
learnt.
In May 2013, I had the opportunity
to represent division I at the
District level International Speech
contest and was one of the finalist.
As part of my ACB, ACS & ACG I had
done the following advanced
manual. As I completed each
manual my speaking skills were
incrementally improved and also
helped me in understanding the
basic requirements for each type of
speeches.
Distinguished Toastmasters Award
is not an end in itself, rather I see it
as just a milestone achievement.
There is still a lot to learn in Public
speaking and toastmasters is the
best forum for me to enhance my
skills. This journey would not have
been pleasant if not for the fellow
toastmasters who were my
constant companion during this
journey and their valuable
feedbacks helped in molding myself
to be a better speaker than what I
was five years back.

Oh Toastmasters! What did you do to me?
The sun streamed through the glass
windows on the 15th floor - into my
office on the sea side. I turned to
face it and the rays lit my face with
its bright, rejuvenating radiance -
that which felt like a beckoning call,
a beckoning call right into my soul.
I look out into the sea and the
waves that crash upon the shore,
hitting and spraying foam upon the
rocks that lines its boundaries - the
boundaries within which it must
constrict itself to. The sun hides
behind rain clouds for yet another
moment pulling me into my
thinking mode.
With Area Contests, Division
Contests, DTAC down the line, Club,
Division and District PR activities -
all coupled with the hunt for a new
job and a squealing 4 month old in
my arms - man!!! Am I saturated? I
didn't purposely use the word
"Suffocated", coz "Suffocated" - I
was not.
It was just last year that I walked in
to Timbre Talkers Toastmasters,
excited and yet a trifle bit confused
and frightened about what lay
ahead. I walked right into the club
contest, participated and won. I was
congratulated, applauded and
treated as the rising new Timbrel. I
moved on to the area level,
participated and lost. But the same
crowd, congratulated, applauded
and treated me as the star that
would never quit trying - coz along
with being a new member who won
in the first try in a club competition,
I was also a first time Mom - 5
Months pregnant - and heavily
nauseating.
In 2 months, the responsibility of
being a VP Public Relations was
offered. I had lost my job during
that time, in fact - quit my job in
search of a better one at the
WRONG time. Being 5 months
pregnant and being in Kuwait
whose law advocated a paid 72
days maternity leave along with
another 3 months of reduced
working hours; no company was
ready to take the "risk" of hiring me
- no matter what I had
accomplished or what laurels I held.
In this scenario, I wouldn't lose
anything if I took up the
responsibility of VP PR, moreover; I
loved creativity... and take it up I
did. I learnt what it was to be a
team, I learnt what it was to be a
team player and I learnt what it
meant to be a leader. I learnt what
it was to keep my spirits high, no
matter if the world crashes around
you. And like luck has it, I receive a
call and land up in a great job with a
"work from home" option. Yes - I
am talking about Kuwait and "Work
from Home"
My belly grows as time went by and
when I was in my 7th month of
pregnancy, I receive a second call
from the Division Governor -
inviting me to be Assistant Division
Governor - Public Relations. With
work, and a belly that's too big for
my size, and nausea - I wonder if I'd
be able to take it up. But the voice
on the other end of the line said -
"Go ahead, we are all with you." And
take it up I did. I learnt what it
meant to be humble, I learnt how to
listen and heed and be lead by your
team. I learnt that greatness comes
from humility. I sat for Division
meetings - often sleepy and tired,
but smiled to see kind and
supportive souls - brighten me up
and pep me up for plans ahead.
Souls that let me pull back when my
mood swings hit me full swing and
souls that understood when
tantrums kept me away from
attending phone calls no matter
how important it was. I grew - not
just physically by the size of my
belly, but as an refined individual
all along the way.

OH TOASTMASTERS! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?
“I look out into the sea
and the the waves that
crash upon the shore,
hitting and spraying foam
upon the rocks that lines
its boundaries - the
boundaries within which
it must constrict itself to.
The sun hides behind rain
clouds for yet another
moment pulling me into
my thinking mode.”

My child was born on the 100th
Meeting Anniversary of Timbre
Talkers Toastmaster's Club, last
year in 2014. Being a toastmaster
from the time of her inception, she
was now a branded junior toast-
master and like a feather to her cap
- born on the 100th meeting. But
things weren't very favorable for
me at the work side - I'm forced to
resume work within a month, leav-
ing my child with my ever support-
ive papa - in - law. I continue to
attend meetings and work for the
club. There were times when moth-
erhood had taken its toll on me and
Toastmaster responsibilities would
drive me crazy, but there were oth-
er times, when I looked on to the
meetings to relax and network. I
would look on to the meetings to
see smiling and welcoming faces,
for the "go get it" "never give up"
attitudes. I would come home to my
child rejuvenated.
The sun shines brighter on me,
forcing me to shut my eyes and
bask in its glory. With tempera-
tures around 10 degrees and a cold
freezing wind, this is a welcome
change. The sun quickly sinks be-
hind rain cloud throwing a dark
shadow on me. I sink back into my
thinking mode again.
Almost the same time as last year.
Yet another club contest. I won in
the club level. Area contests are on
the way. I might win, I might not.
But it doesn't matter anymore. I
quit my job again, for the second
time in around 6 years of work life.
It feels like history repeating itself
(minus the part that I had a child in
me, now I a squealing 4 month old
in my arms). With my hunt for a job
still on , I'm approached with yet
another opportunity by the same
kind voice on the other end of the
line - this time for : "Division O Am-
bassador " from Kuwait. The same
voice said, “We will be there to sup-
port you; take it up" and - once
again - take it up, I did.
I'm swamped and saturated. Prepa-
rations for the Area Level Contests,
hunt for a better job, my child and
DTAC down the line. Being a full
time employee and manager in of-
fice; a wife, sister and mother back
home; being a VP PR in the club,
Assistant Division O Governor PR
and now the DTAC Ambassador -
has it gnawed on my sides? Has it
started to eat me up?
The sun’s rays hit back on me in full
vigor, cutting me off my thoughts. I
look out into the sea to find waves
crashing on the rocky boundaries
spraying glistening drops of water
into the air. The sun's rays beams
warmer on my face.
Have all these responsibilities eat-
en me up? Nope it hasn't. In fact -
Toastmasters has paved way to
make me a better me. I get selected
at all the interviews that I have at-
tended, probably coz I see every
question as yet another "Table Top-
ics' challenge. I perform well as a
manager, as I'm constantly chal-
lenged to come out of my comfort
zone at Toastmasters. I multitask
well, probably coz of the numerous
roles I play well at Toastmaster's
community. My 4 month old blab-
bers like she is delivering a speech,
as I completed my CC when I was
heavily pregnant with her. What
more could I have probably asked
for?
And with all these, what had been
my boundary that I drew for my-
self? I realize - that my boundaries
had never been set by my husband
who is yet another toastmaster or
my siblings or my parents or even
my little 4 month old. My bounda-
ries had been set by me, myself.
Probably my fear, the fear that my
responsibilities as a mom and a
wife could only be done if I have no
other external activities - the fear
of failing at the opportunities that
were handed out to me at Toast-
masters.
As the seas and the waves crash at
the rocky boundaries, cutting me
off my thoughts again - I reminis-
cence - and marvel - at the way na-
ture has its own subtle ways of in-
stilling little lessons in me. And like
the waves, I shall hit on my rocky
boundaries, not to die down as si-
lent little salty sprays, but sprays
that glisten in the sunlight, like
sprays that smoothens out the
rocky boulders.
And will I constantly be able to do
that?
Yes!
As long as I continue to try..
As long as I push my boundaries a
little farther..
As long as I ensure that the sprays
glisten, no matter how salty it is!
As long as I learn to be humble
enough to learn..
As long as I never quit.
Oh Toastmasters! What did you do
to me?
OH TOASTMASTERS! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME? (continued…..)

Proud to be a Toastmaster
I have being in Kuwait for past 16
months and was wondering what
could I do with my past time and
suddenly this toastmasters article
pops up into one my internet feeds.
The next thing I know I was at the
Toastmaster’s fortnightly meeting
in my neighborhood. To summarize
my first encounter with
toastmasters; well I have never
experienced that amount of positive
energy under a single roof. They
made me feel special, I was well
received, introduced to the all the
who’s- who of the club. Right from
start till the end I was diligently
involved into the proceedings. I
came back that day with a feeling of
high, I had an introspection to do.
And the only conclusion which
came out of that fruitful session was
that I have to join this Institution of
self-development at the earliest.
Now that I am a proud member of
Timbre Talkers Toastmasters Club
my life has impacted at multiple
level.
First thing I learned was is the
importance of “feedback”. I came to
realize that it is one of the most
important tools in the field of
communication. And at
Toastmasters, They all love to give
and receive feedbacks. It becomes a
way of life after a couple of meeting.
Being an extrovert person I am
always up for any interaction but it
always was a bit difficult for me to
first start the conversation and
later to continue the flow. But with
this tool in hand, I can now
effectively communicate with
others. I come up as more
presentable, amiable and confident
person all thanks to the feedback I
have received.
As a starter, I usually carry note pad
and a pen along with me to all the
meetings and to my surprise even
the most distinguished senior
leaders do that. As per them,
“learning stops only with you!” And
where else will you get so much
mental nutrients, so much to
ponder upon later but only at
Toastmaster’s meetings.
For every meeting; the theme of the
day outlines the discussion for that
meeting; it’s a good practice to
arrange few thoughts around the
topic so that you are ready to rock.
Then there is word of the day
introduced by the grammarian of
the house which we are all asked to
use during the meeting. These
initiatives not only improve your
vocabulary and thinking power but
make every meeting unique. The
several roles plays like Ah counter,
general evaluator makes you
accountable and if you are enough
sincere about them you are already
seasoning your professionalism.
Then there is this most entertaining
part of the meeting wherein we
have to deliver impromptu
speeches for a minute; that’s
something I always look forward to.
Toastmaster is also one big family.
We have guests and international
toastmasters visiting meetings joint
meetings. I could have never made
so many friends and important
contacts otherwise. And what’s
success without any enjoyment.
Humor is one aspect which gets
imbibed in the DNA of all
toastmasters. Most DTM’s attribute
their success to humor and rhetoric.
And where else but in Toastmaster
is the place where you hone these.

Toastmasters has introduced me
the whole range of attributes about
my personality which I never knew
existed. I started thinking,
planning, and the most important is
living a better life. And the whole
life ahead seems so bright. I am
confident most of you would share
my notions of this institution
because:
“Coincidence doesn’t exist and
goose-bumps never lie. All you
have to do is turn down your
spinning mind, and continue to
follow all signs. Because you are
always worthy of becoming your
best and most actualized self.”

Tall Tales Contest 2015
Kuwait Toastmasters fraternity is
known to do something different
each year. This year to both the
Division Directors I and O – TM
Dr. Mohamed Makhlouf and DTM
Charles Pinho joined hands to put
forth a unique, uncommon,
unrivaled Tall Tales
Championship with a TWIST.
Both the divisions unleashed their
best talent they had amongst
them.
Tall Tales – Which is an
exaggerated story or a lie crafted
in a speech form to make your
audience believe that this too can
happen or has happened. Tall
tales are often told in a way that
makes the narrator seem to have
been a part of the story, and are
usually humorous or good-
natured. The line between legends
and tall tales is distinguished
primarily by age; many legends
exaggerate the exploits of their
heroes, but in tall tales the
exaggeration looms large, to the
extent of becoming the whole of
the story. Each and every
participating speaker is given
three to five minutes to give a
short speech of a tall tale nature,
and is then judged according to
several factors.
Tall Tales with a twist –This was a
double trouble competition as the
adult toastmasters shared the
stage with the Gavelier’s for the
first time. Here all clubs held a
club competition several weeks’
back and got their best or most
deserving participant to represent
their club.
Later, the Curtain Raiser (semis)
was on the 23rd October, 2015 at
the American University Kuwait,
Salmiya. This was particularly
high spirited since the Best of 5
from each division moved to
represent their club to the finals.
Finally, the RED CARPET was
ready on the 6th November, 2015
where the all the finalist walked
with heads high and boot tight at
the Australian College of Kuwait
(ACK) auditorium. Close to a
hundred people witnessed a show
case of talent from both the
Division and Gaveliers.
Oh! What an outstanding oratory
competition, where the Gaveliers
outshined the adults and showed
their ingenuity. The two winners
from each category were honored
and the winner in adult category
bagged a return ticket from GULF
AIR to any desirable destination.
Kudos to both the Division
Directors and their able team for
putting forth a competition worth
attending and remembering.

CLUB OFFICERS TRAINING 2015-16
Club Officers Training 2015-16
December 4th, 2015: we were lead
into the boundless halls of American
University Kuwait once again
eagerly awaiting the adventures and
animated training sessions set on
the agenda, we were not let down. A
brilliant collaboration between
Division I & O, Headed by, TM Alka
Kumra of Durrar Toastmasters Club
and TM Nancy Vijo of Timbre
Talkers Toastmasters Club. They
oversaw every last detail right from
the availability of members of each
club in attendance to the focus of
the “Team Awesome" challenge. Our
vigilant Division Governer’s DTM
Charles Pinho and TM Mohamed
Makhlouf backed them up as a
strong support.
We were stuck to our seats in awe
by the Keynote speaker DTM DON
PRADES: A Co-founding member of
The First Toastmaster Club in
Kuwait, who has since its Inception
been part of the Teaching Academic
at AUK, Heading the English
Department and leading his
students with all his years of
wisdom. During which period it only
took him took him 25 years to
accomplish DTM Level.
He headlined “WHO’S RUNNING
THE ZOO?” which took us into the
‘Parliamentary Procedure’s-a code
of ethics developed to establish base
rules and generalization for overall
EX-COM meeting Proceedings.
The Executive Committee to any
club is itself the backbone that
strives to constantly shake up and
positively encourage members
using professional tools and in a
systematic order so as to have a
very strong vibrant club
atmosphere and members that will
be enthusiastically benefiting
themselves and spreading the vision
of Toastmasters International.
Fundamentals of parliamentary
law:
Justice and courtesy for all
Do only one thing at a time
The majority rules
The minority must be heard
Each proposition is entitled to a
full and free discussion and
debate
The purpose is to facilitate
action. Not to obstruct it.
Agenda:
Call to order- facilitate a
quorum so that whatever is
decided is legal and can be
actioned
Reading and approval of
minutes – from previous
meetings so as to be approved
Treasurer’s report – has to be
transparent
Reports of officers and standing
committees
Reports of special committees
Unfinished business
New business – time to be
introduced and discussed
Program for the following
Adjournment
Shown by a demonstrational video,
we understood Henderson’s
parliamentary guideline that easily
summarized for us, everything. This
is the link to the video for your
viewing pleasure: https://youtu.be/

Now ask yourself this question
WHY DO CLUBS DIE?
Personally I feel it’s because,
Members don’t feel they are going
to learn something and this is why
its very important for the ex-com to
work on this aspect. This is why
Timbre Talkers Toastmasters Club
always joins and participates in
other clubs that helps us Learn new
ways of meeting conduct and hear
amazing speeches that opens up our
eyes to new sensations and gives us
so many more opportunities to meet
New people from all walks of life
and swallowing their experiences
thirsty For more because we learn
something new every day. A lot of
moments pass us by and we notice
them when we listen and pay
attention to the speech of another
person so I'd like to say "a little
introspection goes a long way".

CLUB OFFICERS TRAINING 2015-16(continued…..)
Members of Timbre Talkers
willingly went forth to help out
with capturing moments of the
meeting and all those who
participated, with the help of our
budding new Member Toastmaster
Abhinav Dharwahal.
I ventured on to Attend three
training sessions, and here is a look
at what I learnt.
SERGAENT AT ARMS:
By TM Anil Kumar of Bhavans
Toastmasters Club:
This individual takes up the role of
being at your beck and call before
and after any meeting and always
presents to solicit an inviting
atmosphere in the club. The SAA is
the first person on stage and makes
a huge difference impacting the
start of the meeting. Always follow
up with the members and makes
sure each person is up for any task
at any point of time. TM Anil then
spoke of having “moments of
truth”, wherein you engage with
the guests and members for their
honest opinions of the meeting
overall and role players and what
are the important tips that could be
used in future.
VP MEMBERSHIP:
By TM Zenab Baniyan of Kuwait
Leaders Toasmasters Club:
We’ve Chosen ourselves to take the
effort to help our club grow as a
whole and work towards each
member growing and you are not
only confined to your single role,
this extends your wings to
Also being VP Education: You have
to assess a member’s learning
needs – and how you can exemplify
this and excel him further.
Be a VP Public Relations:
Promoting the club, the best you
can via word of mouth and using
online social media platforms. Most
importantly delegate a team to
work with you and delegate tasks
working with their strengths.
Download material and conduct
membership drives and host
outdoor meetings to get in new
members and also refresh the old
ones as we are always looking for
new ways and ideas to branch out
so learning from each other would
benefit us all.
Aside from making sure your
meeting has a “full House”, you
must set out your goals towards
achieving club medals and awards,
this is entirely a club initiative.
VP PUBLIC RELATIONS:
By TM Yousef Baniyan from
Kuwait Leaders Toastmasters
Club:
By human need, our values are
based on the recognition of our
duties by others, this is always
shown when you’re a Toastmaster
as your positive and encouraging
outlook can only bring forth good
things.
TM Yousef Baniyan outlined the
following:
Advertising
Knowledge of your
demographic
Develop your strategy
accordingly
Marketing
Branding
Keeping focus on these points will
totally transform the club in the
grander scheme of things. Always
update your weapons you’ve
chosen to be a great public
relations officer. Get the
merchandised kits available on the
Toastmasters website. Also be
creative and design your own
posters and get involved in your
community activities that would
showcase the skills inbred in each
person and help bring out the
active and more cheerful side.
I’ve found that the baseline in just
these three trainings was to be
encouraging and self-motivated.
Only this attitude can effect change
positively towards the growth of
your club encompassing all the
beliefs of a Toastmaster. On a very
positive conclusive Note the
"Active Minds Toastmasters Club"
took home the Team Awesome
award as they worked together on
the difficult task before them
The world as we have created it is a
process of our thinking. It cannot be
changed without changing our
thinking. -Albert Einstein.

Joint Meeting: Timbre Talkers and Desert Pioneers
Joint Meeting: Timbre Talkers
and Desert Pioneers
Timbre Talkers had their 129th
meeting on 15th December 2015.
What makes it special this time is
the fact that it was a joint meeting
with Desert pioneers toastmaster
club.
Yup! A joint meeting with all its fun
and glory.
Two heads are better than one. So
we had two toastmasters of the day;
TM Nancy (Timbre Talkers) and TM
Sukdeb (Desert Pioneers). They
enthralled the audiences with their
smooth speaking skills and wit.
The theme of the day chosen was "If
not you, then who? If not now, then
when?”
Such an elegant theme, isn't it?
Humans have the tendency to
'postpone', but it doesn't have a
place at Timbre Talkers! When an
opportunity knocks on our door, the
right frame of mind must be, "I will
grab it instead of leaving it to
someone else" and that's the way to
go. The role players for the day who
came to assist them were:-
From Timbre Talkers: TM Madonna,
TM Manoj Jacob, TM Abhinav.
From Desert Pioneers: TM Rajesh as
General Evaluator
The first speaker was CTM Krish
Prabhakar who gave a 20 minute
Keynote presentation. His speech
took us back several years to the
time of world leaders like Julius
Caesar, Adolf Hitler and Winston
Churchill. It was truly a
mesmerizing speech.
And finally, it was a special day for
the second speaker TM Baburaj
Parakkal because it was his 40th
speech after which he became a
Distinguished Toastmaster!
Congrats sir!
The cake cutting ceremony wrapped
it up for the evening but not the
celebrations. He was evaluated by
TM "Uncle" Xavier who was all in his
praise after completing this feat.
TM Shikha Chatterjee was the Table
Topics master of the day. Her topics
were quite random but jelled in
nicely with the theme of the day.
The best table topics award went to
TM Rajshekhar Iyer.
In the evaluation session, the best
evaluator award went to TM Xavier
for evaluating TM Baburaj's speech.
The photography session at the end
of meeting was real fun where
