Welcome to the most dynamic and memorable Workshop with ME - Aug 21
Facilitator’s Note : We put in 200% of our capabilities as facilitators as students were at 100. Right from 9.40 am till 1.10 pm , every moment in still greenish, wonderful, brilliant, stunning, amazing, fabulous and truly rewarding workshop. One among the best workshops which have ever had earlier. Electrifying, racy, fast, Ultra- energetic…. Mechanical students at their awesome heights of performance.Positive vibrations throughout the workshop
The feedbacks of the workshop are as follows :
"Acceptance is the key for a team’s success. In the end, appreciation and dropping of our ego led us to win. Its all about love within the team that make things happen.We are all capable of doing big things. This we can apply to our projects. "
"We could collaborate, focus in the same direction and achieve beyond our expectations. There was a positive pressure on us today for 30 minutes. We were very passionate about doing our roles. Positive energy supported us to move ahead and succeed."
" More important is the responsibility taken by every team member. Individually all were responsible and collectively we delivered it to taste success as a team. Stretched ourselves to a maximum limit to make the team win."
"Ability is not confined to one or two people, but to all in the team. With ability we should never build a wall of ego and inertia around us. We need to go beyond this wall, to experience growth. Wall is 18 piles of stones , by breaking this wall, the ego is removed. CT opened our eyes, our mind and brought to the stage our capabilities."
"Love the team. Think positive, do everything possible. Try to bring in all together creates an ideal platform for united performance and it makes the team stronger than before."
" Power of coordination was deeply felt. We put our heart and soul into it. Even a single appreciation was enough to climb one step."
"FIRST time in my life, iam experiencing such a workshop that had made my life look different, wonderful, energetic. I got to know the meaning of friendship, brotherhood and everyone were courageous enough to take the challenge of a role. I do my role, if I fail,my team fails. Each one had to work in a team. Each one’s role is pretty important to make the team win. Important thing I learnt is flexibility. When the situation came, directors, actors, make-up man automatically sprang together. All participants were delivering their duties properly and iam happy to be a part of the team.."
" If we can join hands and work together, we can take anything forward and succeed in life. "
Truly said, Feedbacks are the breakfast for champions.....
We thank the IT, MCA, CS and ME students for coming with mind blowing, charismatic and powerful learning experiences.
One thing I understood is that if we tightly hold the feet of the GURU, and we push ourselves more and more beyong our comfort zones, we can lead a meaningful life always WITH HER GRACE. Love you AMMA.
Myself and Sekhar with the support of Mr. Vishnu, CCR Team are getting ready for the workshops in september for EC and EE batches..
Till then, prayers for all of us to labor more and succeed...
Jai HO, MECHZZZ...

Corporate Theatre - Aug 19th - CS Batch
Corporate Theatre - Teaming Thru Theatre Welcomes everyone...
Aug 19th - Bright sun shine - a good morning to wake up early by 4 am and get to the venue to make it much more comfortable to do the workshop. We had the CS students coming up at 6.45 a.m. in the morning...It was a great start with the first two games rolling in terrific performances from the audience. Individually brilliant and stunning performance from the batch. Then came the team activity in game 3, which was quite challenging for the group...its a natural process which as facilitators found it quite different and we went ahead accepting the process of the team members.
A journey from inhibition to freeness, shyness to openness, blocked mind to a relaxed mind, self conscious state to childlike mindset...CS students took up the challenge in game 3 and displayed one of the best theatre productions.
Participants gave a powerful feedback like
" We learnt three pillars of success – Hard work, Dedication, Equal participation from all team members." "We enjoyed the most and happy that it transformed our personality.""Wonderful experience that we had today, normally we were never so interactive. But through CT, we worked together as a team where we accepted the way others are .."
The entire team is viewed as a process with the team becoming the leader. It throws open lot of things like level of (competency, freedom, commitment, energy)
Leadership is lot to do about knowing ourself, others and the system they create. The last 30 minutes went in a racy way where they could manage changes and time in their own inimitable style.
Above all as facilitators, we were once again blessed to deliver it for CS(See-yes) students. Thanking the almighty for everything and praying for hearing success stories from CS programmers..
Wish you good luck, CS

CT Workshop with ME - Aug 14th
Aug 14th marked an eventful day for the royal mechz...We had given them something very strong food for thought....my team members aji and rohitpandey were there to add more colour to our workshop...
The participants came with some beautiful feedbacks as follows
"Team work was the best thing that can happen. We all need love and trust in a team. We felt the warmth working with each other and we cared for everyone’s performance. When there is love in the team, trust comes automatically. We all trusted each other in arranging the sets of the tableau. Roles got divided properly and everyone was working in pace with the time. It is the spirit of “We”.
We could see how better we utilized our resources optimally. In every workplace, there is something that we don’t get. We should drop our personality ego and take on challenging roles and deliver it in a great way.
In a team, there are people with different talents and potentials. We need to always keep the team’s goal in the front and succeed by picking the right people and deliver the best.
Collection of lot of ideas shared by team members. Just like a light which gets On when two potential work hand in hand to give good results. Three people wanted to go for the same role and eventually, two people sacrificed their personal interest at the interest of the team and went ahead with the goal of the team in mind. We should always sacrifice to make things work in a team."
In end it was a Very Powerful , Vibrant and Memorable Workshop. Lot of energy being Mechanical engg students . Good support from Aji and Rohit (CCR team). Team Work was brilliant and stunning performances from the participants. Very innovative ways of designing the guns, sword, cockpits, fight among MPs, catchy sets. Sekhar was at his best. Participants saw a Sekhar in a different role today( as they have always seen him as their tutor). As facilitators, we gave one of the stunning performances in the 3 silly games. A very fast paced, energetic 3 hours from 10.30-1.30. Aug 14th will live long in our memories for this workshop.

CT Experience with Aug 12th Workshop
It feels great to be a facilitator..
In one of the workshops held earlier this week, charismatic CS batch had come up with a good point regarding TEAM during the last few sharing moments. They are as follows :
1.Team effort – There are two kinds of people in a team. One is individually brilliant with false ego and other one who wants to dominate unwantedly. A leader cannot be artificially created. He needs to know that it is a natural instinct within everyone and it comes out during challenging time. Today we learnt that if we can shed our ego and work as a team, we can achieve anything in life.
2. Now I strongly feel that if we communicate well within a team, we can improvise things faster and make it more practical. Team work certainly makes a difference in everyone’s life.
3.Right from the time I got the paper script, it looked to me as a jigsaw puzzle where everyone had to contributed. Time was managed properly and the resources were utilized well and we got to know the bigger picture of team work. It was a natural process where team work was a like a RAINBOW. If we take on individual colours, they don’t look so good, but if we put all the colors together, we have a beautiful rainbow.
It came on the right moment to have had a workshop with this charismatic team of cs..
We really enjoyed the process and it was once again worth remembering as facilitators. Sekhar and myself were amazed at the brilliant performances of the team.
Praying for CS Batch to achieve more glory.....

Cornerstone Soft Skills Foundation
Well..
They say ' catch them young and train them '...That is what precisely we have done...We have gone ahead starting the Cornerstone Soft Skill sessions with the first years and you could see people with more energy, ideas and a better attitude. These sessions where students are put into TEAMS pay well. Its a natural process for a team to have both inhibited and open people. And when we have a team of this mixture, things move in great pace.
The option of having them together makes a big difference to the way an approach is taken, discussed, the points noted and spoken are stunning examples of a powerful team. Every student in the first year gets a chance to speak every week. Credit goes to the tools used by the facilitators powerfully.
Students are always told that - the more they play in college life, life plays with them after college. Our job as a facilitator is quite challenging as you have the goal of motivating students to stay in the race..Its more about working with the mindset of the people...The very objective of having a collegiate education is to see themselves as better leaders for future and that happens when they really consider the fact that "College is a better investment for future ".
Facilitators are also in the hunt for pursuit of Excellence. To join the bandwagon are the Btech, MCA, MSc, BBM, BCom professionals. By introducing Soft Skills in the first year, we have created a road map for a successful career by emphasizing more on the how to convert their qualities into Skill Sets for making them survive in the outer world. Competing with the situation than within the team.
An open mind to learn, a good acceptance level, hard work and an attitude to share and help others also to reach their goals are some of the main ingredients of guaranteeing success in college life and that happens through Cornerstone Soft Skills Sessions.
Praying for all to reach their goals in life....Sound Mind..Sound Body...

My Thoughts on Manual of Warrior of Light
I happen to purchase Paulo Coelho's Manual of Warrior of Light last weekend..
Awesome experience reading the book from first till the last..
The book has more philosophical thoughts with stories delighting the readers. It throws open an invitation for each of us to live our dream( Just like in Alchemist - where he chases dreams) , to embrace the uncertainity of life and always trying hard to rise to the occasion where we meet our unique destiny.
Paulo Coelho's style is inimitable and he helps us re-discover the warrior of light in all of us. Passages in the book are more inspiring and we are invited to bank on the experiences of the warrior.
Warrior is one person who can appreciate the fact of life - the miracle of being alive, accepting failure and the one whose aspiration , dream of launching a quest to become the person he really wishes and wants to be...
A person who really lives his life with his principles to achieve his goal..
Powerful book that has more shades of Zen buddhism...267 pages of manual is a great asset for us..

STRESS . . . . . Something to do with Attitude
Hi all.....Just wanted to share something which my Dad told me last week..This is what he narrated - --
A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?" The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500gm.
"It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is Ok. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it,
the heavier it becomes."
"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier." "What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again."
We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can. Pick it up again later when you have rested....
Rest and relax..Life is short
Don't Make it Shorter.
Enjoy it!!

PRIDE OF PERFORMANCE
PRIDE OF PERFORMANCE
Pride of performance does not represent ego. It represents pleasure with humility. The quality of the work and the quality of the worker are inseparable. Half-hearted effort does not produce half results; it produces no results.
Three people were laying bricks. A passerby asked them what they were doing. The first one replied, "Don't you see I am making a living?" The second one said, "Don't you see I am laying bricks?" The third one said, "I am building a beautiful monument."
Here were three people doing the same thing who had totally different perspectives on what they were doing. They had three very different attitudes about their work. And would their attitude affect their performance? The answer is clearly YES.
Excellence comes when the performer takes pride in doing his best. Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it, regardless of what the job is, whether washing cars, sweeping the floor or painting a house.
DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME. The best insurance for tomorrow is a job well done today.
Most people forget how fast you did a job, but they remember how well it was done.
"If a man is called to be street-sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Beethoven composed Music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, "Here lived a great street-sweeper who did his job well"
- MARTIN LUTHER KING, Jr.
The feeling of a job well done is a reward in itself. It is better to do small things well than do many things poorly.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
