First up was the International Speech Contest.

International Speech Contestants (in order or appearance) :
1. Palaniappa
2. Rathi Malar
3. Logendran
4. Amy Maria


Our speakers delivered interesting and contradicting speeches. ;-)


Pala shared a secret with all of us about how he wanted to know what women really want and how much he respected women for the way they were (thanks Pala).

While Logen stood rooted about why he wanted to be a man! Yeah, it was hilarious.


Amy killed a few of her pet fishes, but is still determined to make her new passion a success (practice makes perfect eh?).


While i tried my best to explain about the misfits I have had due to Murphy's law. Yes, the queue next to yours is ALWAYS moving faster! :-)


Next was Table Topics Contest.

Table Topics Contestants (also in order of appearance) :
1. Rathi Malar
2. Logendran
3. Palaniappa


Contestants were challenged with a tough Table Topic : Which is more important, time or money?


All our contestants agreed that time is always more important than money. They went on to explain why they think so with convincing examples and explanation.


The much awaited time arrived. It was time to announce the winners!!


However, we delivered the token of appreciation to the Organizing Chair and his team members first.
