3 Ways to Banish Stage Fright!!!

For those who know me, the Title of the post will seem funny even Ridiculous..."What the Heck?"...As i am no winner of 'Miss Public Speaking' contest. In fact i have my issues when it comes to Go up there and deliver a speech.
Yes, Dry mouth...Breaking into a sweat...,momentary laryngitis symptoms(causing hoarse voice or the complete loss of the voice )... racing heart....or momentary Amnesia(''Main kahan hun?'') before public speaking...whichever ..,I know them well...Symptoms of Stage fright!!!

Actually Yesterday, I had another bout of nerves during a presentation in college and i don't think my fellow classmates enjoyed it either.

And the fact that we were trying to drill our concept into a complete set of ...!!..uh...teachers..?[ ;)] dint help our case either.
So this set my mind reeling...which was still full of all the "HoWwwwwwww?...,HOWwww ...n HOOOOW's!!! during the session.." I began wondering.. if there were at all any possible ways to get through all these ''Mr How's" and "Miss Why's" without making a complete fool of urself....(and if luck favors...do just the opposite..[ ;}] ) Many people suggest different ways to rid this nervousness...but is it any good??? Now that I begin to think....I am not so sure.
And so the Control unit of ''Never ending thoughts" began to cook up some really tasty Khichdi...he.he..!" Here goes....Nez presents....ThRee ways to Banish 'Public Speaking' Fright...

TOP 3 WAYS:

#1. DEEP BREATHING:
assumption:Often Suggested Idea to focus on positive thoughts by concentrating on Breathing and Relieving stress.
Nez says: I think the real reason why it helps during public speaking is ..that it Gives u a distinct impression of an ASTHMATIC Patient..n the audience does not want to risk a fatal attack and hence cuts you some slack!!!
cons: Works only in situations where group-member or partner near you takes bath every-day!!!

#2.DRINK LOTS OF WATER:

assumption: Water cools off the system and moistens your throat n mouth so that you can speak without any vocal problems or nervous pauses..
Nez says:Drinking lots of water just before a presentation helps,easily finish of the presentation/speech in minutes without any delay...coz the speaker has to finish the speech in a hurry before he can rush to the loo. So full focus is on getting it over with.
pros: the person is in such an agitation to finish off that he literally Slam Dunks any doubts raised!!
cons: Speaker has to make sure that all the uh..facilities r available in the place before trying this method.


#3.WALK-A-THON:


assumption: Walking or Moving about during the presentation gives you a profession feel as well as helps spend pent up anxiety.

Nez says:Helps as the listener is too busy getting distracted by ur movements to focus on what u are saying...so u can often coolly get away wid the most ridiculous statements.
cons:should only be used by people who r sure that their supremely graceful movements will keep the listener entranced and not in fact make them a laughing stock.
Also one more method has struck me now...which is
Imagining: This method is an interesting way in case speaker is frightened or appalled by the looks of the listening audience.The trick is to imagine that the person in front of u is something that amuses u.Suppose some very strict teacher is sitting in font of u...Imagine that the person is wearing a PINK TEE Shirt and his hair and beard are bright violet in color with a bandanna tied on d head!!!The Perfect Hooligan Look will make u grin inspite of the fear!!!
Cons:Only for people whose audience already doesn't look or act like straight out of a Cartoon channel.
I hope UL will make good use of these ideas ...but make sure u don't overdo it...say Bye Bye to stage fright!! I hope these work for u..as they have not been tried by me yet.

MISUNDERSTOOD!!!

Intentions in Me, however may be good...,
I wonder why I am often misunderstood!!!
What others think of me, where have I always stood?
I Never know for sure, How I wish I would!!


I try very hard to be a good friend
but at times situations are just out of hand...!!!
Maybe my gestures are hard to comprehend
But deep in my heart, I hope they understand!!


Sometimes I am closed up and silent I am aware,
Other times am wild, fit to give a nightmare!
My secrets often locked up, my sorrows I don't share...
But though I never could mention it, I really do care!!


I wish they could see...
beyond the facade of my hood.
The real person in me,
I wish they understood.


I wish they knew for once,
why often I draw away,
Neither am I selfish nor am I vain....
It is just a fear simple and plain...
A fear that often brings me pain...
A fear that I might be deserted again!!

A Window to Instant Dreams!!!

There we were attending just the Third lecture of the new semester subject D.O.O.P in our classroom.... and yet it seemed that, we have been there for hours n hours at a stretch sleepily listening to the nonstop drawl of an "equally Determined" teacher....
Our class...Notorious for its highly enthusiastic attitude (for all the right reasons at the wrong time).. had somehow reduced into a complete confused murmuring silence...

Just 15 Min's into the lecture and i found myself drifting away..... far far away ....to a land where there was no one to disturb me....no dreary VC++, no mind numbing algorithms.....Just one Window....a window through which i could see a golden divine light....as if it were saying to me..."come to me child...jump out the Window"....I just followed the voice...into an hypnotic trance.. wondering y do i have to jump out a Window??? why wasn't there a door???
Any way....who cares...as long as i Got out of here.. ....''Yes !! jump out the Window ....this Instant.......**Windows.....HInstance..*...???!@2. .. "yes, i m coming"i kept telling the voice...#$Instance...Window%&@..... and i leaned over...to Jump

OUCH!!! WHA...??? i almost yelled aloud....as i got a sharp Nudge in the side... I turned to see my best friend's grinning face...."What??" i said irritably..
*Carin:Dont look so blankly.....Is Tarah ghoor mat deewar ko...M'am dekh legi!!(translation=dont stare at the wall so blankly...or mam will c u*)
i slowly turned 2 look at the window...my only way out......With a pang of guilt... i realised that what i 'd imagined to be a heavenly presence...was Nothing but The Light from the Projector on the wall !!![:( ]
And in fact i realised that the voice i had heard was unmistakeably my teacher Explaining something about VC++ in Windows....having Hinstance command..//
i grinned sheepishly at my friend...wondering how She'd react...if i told her about my brilliant Escapade plans...that involved jumping through the walls.....[: -{} ]

And soon i realised that i Hadn't been the only one trying to escape.....Almost the whole class had managed to slip out through the imaginary doors n windows at the back's of their minds...
One look at their eyes....N you could almost read Different Messages like.....
"OUT OF ORDER" .....(*! @ Kaanpur mein hadtaal !!! kripya koi aur maarg se jaane ki koshish karen)
"DO NOT DISTURB"...(#@ Brain on Holiday!!! Post card zaroor bhejna!!)
"IS ROUTE KI SABHI LINES VYAST HAI!!!..."(@*kripya firse disturb naa karein!!))
"BRAIN UNDER CONSTRUCTION"....(@! semester exam tak 'khaddon' pe kaam jaari**)
"NO ENTRY!!!" (@#....Not interested....kripya Pravesh ki koshish na kare!!)
"ERROR- ERROR"(@#ERROR!!!- This teacher has tried to reference a memory location which doesnot exist!!!)
Plastered all over their faces!!
And then as i began looking around the class ...my daze left me as soon as it had come...as i began to notice each n every classmate with interest!!!
My gaze rested on Randeep...the person sitting in front of us....
He seemed to have found a comfortable cushion in his notebook....where he rested his forehead into a half sleep......He suddenly woke up with a jerk and began dabbing his eyes with water from his bottle cap....His forehead full of red marks from the piercing hard cover notebook....my over imaginative mind started to wonder....how would it look if he had Tattooed his forehead with floral designs as a fashion statement?!!!! He He

30 Min's left....
Carin n i had started enjoying this game and began looking at others...as far away as possible ..from the Still teaching Miss Sweety...
As i let my eyes wander..., i saw another of my friends... Sundar who seemed to be looking at Ma'm as if she were a Mildly interesting T.V Program....whereas his partner Prabhat seemed to have cracked The joke of the century...was busy giggling to himself!!!

20 Min's left...
Meanwhile one of my classmate Anooja....who ought to b given an Award for bravery...was Completely asleep....Right under Miss Sweety's nose...much to the horror of her partner!!!
I started looking at Rageshree ...who was staring so intently at Miss that Her eyes seemed to be popping out their sockets...just as i was going to mention 2 Carin how she n her partner have managed to avoid sleeping.....My eyes caught Suparna in the action of a "Titanic (Gigantic)Yawn..!!!
That was a point I couldn't restrain myself n burst out laughing.....much to the amazement of the surrounding students.....n looking at me Carin started to giggle too.........I hastened to stop,,...but it turned out as a badly disguised Fit of coughing....

5 Min's left...
More than 3/4 Th of the class had now either fallen asleep...or were simply staring into space..or talking....n at this point...the teacher seemed to have realised that for d past hour she'd managed to drill into our fat skulls nothing but a thimble's worth of knowledge....
With a resigned sigh she ......stopped teaching n took attendence......Anooja slept right through attendence....much to our amazement...

And with the End of lecture bell.....students started filing out of class...to get the Drunken look out from their dazed faces.....!!!
