Who would have imagined such enthusiasm on TT contest at our club level. There were 17 contestants and since that involved a round of semi finals in 2 groups and then a final round, Humorous speech contest could not be held on the same day but was deferred to 2nd Feb.
With DTM Ramki as contest chair and TM Kumar as Chief Judge, we were sure to be in for a treat -and nor were we disappointed. The first semi final with 8 contestants had the topic "Contentment is greater than a kingdom". Performance varied from great philosophy to great doubt as to the meaning of the topic but all pitched in their best. The people who qualified were TM Panna, TM Yashpal and TM Lawrence.
The second semi final had the topic "There is no traffic jam in the extra mile". This was handled well by most of the 9 contestants. The qualifying contestants were TM Rajat, TM Venkat and TM Chaitanya.
The finals of 6 contestants carried the topic "Ambition causes unnecessary stress". All finalists were ambitious for the title and we are sure that caused some very necessary stress! The final results were as follows:
- 1st place: TM Rajat
- 2nd place: MTM Panna
- 3rd place: TM Venkat
TM Rajat will go on to represent RTC in the Area 8 contest scheduled to be held on 22nd Feb.
A great day of contesting!
