I strongly believe that, the day becomes special when we do something special and close to the heart. One special thing which I love to do is speaking. Touching the soul of a person is divine. I am always blessed and faithful to God for giving me the communication skill to touch the soul of my audience.
But this time, it was quite different set of Audience. Often I address college students. But this time, Faculties of Computer science and IT department of Sri Krishna college of Engineering Coimbatore. It was a one day faculty development program on Cloud. And I took more than 2 months to prepare for this program. It was very difficult and challenging for me. Responsibility in front of me is huge. Whatever I am going to address will reach the large number of students indirectly and continuously. So I took lot of effort in preparing for the event. Although many things have to be addressed, I kept my goals very simple.
Since I had prepared well for a long period of time, I was able to accomplish these goals. With these two goals, I was partially able to accomplish my expectations.
Fun and Audience:
I strongly believe that humor takes a speaker close to the audience. Humor that everyone should enjoy. Humor that comes naturally is essential for a speaker. Speaker with good humor sense is always blissful for audience. And it’s my habit to use this tool so that my audience will be with me. But this time, I was confused because everyone in front of me are very serious. They are faculties. Everyone has their own nature. So I was bit confused. But my nature didn’t allow me. So I triggered some humor during my speech. As it got worked out,I continued the same till the end.
Campus!
I knew that most of the Engineering college in and around Coimbatore will have good infrastructure. This was my first to SKCET. It was a beautiful clean campus with ultimate freedom for students. Although I reached the campus bit late, faculties and authorities gave a warm welcome. And even during the session, the questions from the faculties were truly amazing. I was not surprised about that, because they are the creators of smartest engineers to the society. So it is obvious that, they will be smart.
Missed Expectation!
I had one more big expectation in front of me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t accomplish that as I didn’t have much time to prepare. It is none other than, setting up private cloud using devstack. Continous changes in the devstack repo and time management stopped me from accomplishing this. I will take this as a lesson and will plan things accordingly in the upcoming events.
Thanks for reading.
