Reflection of My First Day by Shoma Mukherjee

When I was coming to the class in the morning, I had lots of questions.
The most dirty four letter word (F E A R) on my mind and the pit in my stomach, I was thinking what this few hours holds for me as I always have too many questions to ask, I took this class as a part of my major and as a science student I was little skeptical about course. As my habit I asked myself the first question why a science student need a class with “Fundamentals of Speech” so I remained myself with the a famous quotes by Epictetus “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” And I warned myself not to ask too many questions but I still did. I must say that it was a just amazing and I did not know how the whole class started and finished.
The activity we did in the class was learning experiences for lifetime. I can say honestly that in my all the four semesters this is the only class where I know all my fellow students. The quality of the overall class was very formal, loved the fact that Communication can be learned; communication vs. effective communication and very touching part was when we learnt about Intrapersonal communication or communication within the self. I always use to think self is the conscious Awareness which is control by me but it is the other way around. I think in the end of the day it gave me the catharsis I wanted.
