Competent Communicator Dream

Friends that who know me well know that i am compassionate , passionate individual who is very good with small circle. however butterfly starts flying on my stomach when i have to stand up and make public speech to group of people. i am thinker than communicator , i like to think , think a lot and listen to others than speaking. i had dream of coming out of my comfort zone and speak confidently in front of greater audience. my dream is that i make a great difference in the world through technology , one day i am called to do inspirational speech in front of millions of people. if i am not great communicator and i won't be able to convey my passion and motivate everyone in the audience. 2 Year back , i started going to toastmasters. Toastmasters is a great place to network with other folks who have the same goal of becoming competent communicator. Here i am standing in front of you as competent communicator. Part of my dream come true and other part of making difference and inspiring the younger generation will come true soon.I am working on my advanced manual persuasive speaking and professional speaking.

Are you competent communicator? do you have charisma to attract audience?

Trip to silicon valley

I went back to silicon valley after few years.I worked in silicon valley for Microsoft from June 2001 to Sep 2003. Silicon valley has diverse group of companies and friends who challenges every product that you are developing. After moving to Redmond,WA, life is more monotonous and most of folks that i meet are working for Microsoft. The conversation always starts or ends with microsoft mostly about great products. In my personal opinion i do believe that views are mostly biased on microsoft and the views are very limited since everyone works for same company. i enjoyed the diversity in bay area and i miss the diversity here in redmond.

I do enjoy living in redmond , meeting other smart people in this area. I also like exploring the hiking places in cascades mountain. Going back to silicon valley in May 2008, most of my view towards silicon valley remain unchanged, but my friends have moved on with their life. Most have kids and i am not sure if i move back to silicon valley today , i would have the same great time with friends. i also don't hear much about new startup companies and breakthrough technology in bay area, may be everyone playing it low due to down time in real estate , economy due to gas etc.
