Becoming Better, in general, is a favorite presentation of mine, aimed at motivating people, irrespective of their age, stage, status, gender etc. Unless people get motivated, we cannot hope to have inspired and contributing citizens. This topic has been used for various audiences. This particular presentation is meant for the participants of a 11 day programme, titled IMPACT 2009, organized by Mr. Gampa Nageshwar Rao, in collaboration with many organizations, such as Vasavi International, Vysya Hostel, Hyderabad Management Association, J Cs’ International, and Vooyala Communications, from 11th May onwards, at the Vysya Hostel, Kachiguda, Hyderabad. Only around 40 minutes time was available, for various reasons, and hence, honestly, this presentation, in Telugu, turned out to be a very condensed presentation. I request those of you, who are interested in listening to a fuller and detailed version, to hear to my speeches given on the same topic, at other places.
