We want to be a better communicator in our daily life to our mirror image. That is you all, the audience’s  At this juncture, my experience comes flashing through my mind. I still vividly remember 5 decades ago during my primary school around 11 or 12 years old. I was a playful and obstreperous boy. Who was in the last class all that while? As I had no zeal to study and progress since I was in my comfort zone. Let me ask the audience a question! How many siblings do you have in your family? Two, 4 or 8 max. In my family, I have 16 siblings and I am the number 15th.  Of course One dad and one mom! You can imagine -the amount of pampering I would have got. If you are in my shoes, will you study? Surely most of you won’t, like me. My life ch...
