From the central hall of parliament when the applauds were reverberated to that passionate speech of the Barack Obama, the US president, on a winter evening of November 8th 2010, a generation of the politicians, spanning most of the age group, must be feeling the goose bumps in appreciation of the orating skills of the Nobel laureate.
There have been great orators who make you feel and imbibe every word they speak, they make you soak with the passion they deliver, and just leave you awestruck. Unlike many other political leaders who read few lines written by someone, as if they lend their voice to someone’s ideas or words. That never inspire or create an impact as few lines from Barack Obama could do so.
I heard him speak live multiple occasion during his visit to India, the first one in St Stephen’s college speaking to the ignited minds of future India, the other at parliament in front of leaders of the biggest democracy. The aura and conviction that he had, to make his point, was crystal clear, so was his confidence and gestures. I must admit, I wish, there will be a few reflection of this great orator in my future public speeches, if any!
