Experiences from the VOX POPULI.

Vox populi! Vox populi! Vox populi! as goes the name of the karaoke event held on 22nd Oct. 2013. I have loads to talk about this event.

One fine day Mr.Umesh informed us about the karaoke event which would be a part of assessment of our internals. I was suprised and excited on hearing this but i wondered how singing would make any difference or add value to communication skills. I could not find any relations to it. We were to sing in a pair one hindi and a tamil song  and days passed i started taking this event for granted as i found this was not going to help me by any means. Later after days i questioned why not a try? Selected the song and downloaded the lyrics and the karaoke. Initially i began singing along with the song. It was fun. I had never made an attempt to learn a song till date. It was first time i actually put an effort to learn it. Days passed, the event was being postponed due to various reasons and finally it was decided to be held on 22nd oct 2013. It was pleasant to see all my colleagues putting in their effort and singing so well. We assembled together for the rehearsal. It was then i realised the benefits i could gain from this event. Stage fear, confidence and team work was one of the most important factors i learnt from this event. We worked as a team right from the planning, organising, assigning roles and responsibilities to each. I had taken up the stage decoration task. Each and every one of them were involved in their respective tasks. Few things i learnt from my task was  making the maximum utilization of the resource available. The stage actually turned out well better than expected. i also got an opportunity to compere. i am very thankful to Mr.Umesh for the amount of trust he had on us that we would make this event a success. Success of any event is the result of hardwork.

Few of the important learnings from this event are as follows:-

TeamWork, Planning, Organising, Coridinating, Creativity(stage decoration), Overcoming Stage fear, Gained confidence, Never giving up, Hardwork, Voice modulation, Eye contact when at stage and finally learnt a song completely.
