Took part in a Parliamentary Debate organized by the debating society today.
Can't believe its been more than 3 years since the last time I participated in a debate. I had forgotten my own voice!
I lost today. Qualified for the final round, but me and my team-mate came third among three. All three were separated my 1 point each, so it was one really closely fought contest. Worst part is, didn't win any cash :-(
Nevertheless, the best part was that I enjoyed it! I had given up debating after my team's loss in the Fr. CRCE memorial annual debate in my final year in engineering in 2005.
Felt great to be back in that debating atmosphere. Somewhere over the years, I had lost that edge. I don't know why... maybe out of fear, maybe out of shame of losing, maybe out of embarrassment or maybe out of sheer laziness, I had entirely stopped debating, and consequently, was completely out of touch with current affairs and issues. Well, now I'm back!

Congrats anyway! I know how you feel. I used to love debating and was quite good at it too. Loved the rush of taking centre stage(Whaddayaknow ? I am a closet diva :) )
