A Meeting on Reflection

Sometimes, you have to look back in order to understand the things that lie ahead. What an ‘fantabulous’ Toastmasters evening with magical TMoE Shaurab Lohani with a beautiful theme ‘Reflection’. TM Robin Jha as SAA was very cool and the amazing TM Anjali Acharya as Presiding Officer was fabulous. The meeting filled up with a record holding number of […]

Showcasing Nepali talent at Oration, Kolkata

My maiden visit to Kolkata last Summer was long due on my wishlist. Having heard about previous Oration (District 41’s Annual Conference) experience from fellow Toastmasters held in Delhi, I could feel high-level energy among participants. While I was a new member and also VPM, I didn’t think twice to register for Oration as an […]

Growing at Kathmandu Toastmasters Club

Everybody says we grow at Toastmasters, but only a few inform us how that happens. Today let us talk about the ‘How?’ During mid-2018 I joined Kathmandu Toastmasters Club.

Learning Through Evaluation

Everest Toastmasters Club, established in 2004, is known to have a beeline of membership request. Maintaining 50 members, the club is in a constant dilemma to accept or suggest other clubs.

Traveling In Toastmasters

It was the evening to participate and witness another awaited Monday evening meeting after festival holidays to break the festive mood. ‘Traveling’ was a catchy and contextual theme of the evening probably because many of the members traveled back to their hometowns to celebrate Dashain.

The Turning Point

Hi !  I am Ashma Dahal, and I have always been a nerdy girl who does not communicate much. Silent, studious, shy – these three words best describe my personality.  I was always confined within the closed walls of monotonous study pattern, away from homeland, enchained in hours of studies. So, I never got a […]

That’s my audience!

I first joined Toastmasters as a charter member of a new club that gave me a myriad of opportunities to bond with my fellow club members beyond official meetings.
