I'll have to confess I hate those introductions you need to make in front of all these daunting audiences that stare at you like hawks.Your adrenaline flows and as a result the sound vibrations are mitigated when they pass through the throat and all that scientific stuff.You become too self conceited and impose more strain on the bean bag that grapples with sensitive subjects like 'how do i start','What do i say','How trivial' and things like that.Its also one of those situations thats tailor made for plastic smiles and cultivated accents.

I know its corny and all but I am not like one of those blokes who run a marathon when confronted with such an ordeal.Stutter or stammer(Mind you i cant even take the help of those kindred spirits) i face these situations like a cat on a cold tin roof!And after a spirited but messy display on one such occasion a friend came up to me and said as a true friend would of course 'why dont you work on your elevator pitch maite?'.Well,'If you really want to hear about it.......'.You get it right?!
