  • Almost everyone of us have some inhibitions when addressing a group of
    people, let it be writing or public speaking. But writing to the
    group, needs less courage than speaking in public.

    One best way to overcome this obstacle is to continuously write
    whether its relevant or not (enna madhiri :) ).

    I still remember, when I was (forced) to participate in an elocution
    competition, when I was in 7th. As soon as I faced the audience, my
    whole body was shivering and my legs were shaking visibly. But today
    when I take training or speak to a group of people at office, people
    say I am doing good (ullukulla nadungarathu enakku thane theriyum)
    till date I have a bit of this inhibition talking to new people of
    group of unknown people. But thats part of life, you have to meet new
    people and talk with them.

    Why i am saying is, everyone of us would have had such experience and
    there is always a first time. so post without any inhibition. yaarum

  • One more GANABADIGAL of PS. If gentleman are called GANABAADIGAL what is the
    equivalent for ladies. We had Vedic scholors in our history Maitri and Gargi
    who were authorities in Rig and Yagur Vedas. But they weren't know with that
    title.
