In my fourth grade(standard), i was invited by a group to play “passing the word”. I was playing this game for the first time.

The game – kids form a circle. You are expected to whisper the English word that was whispered in your ears to your neighboring kid.

The game started. I passed on the first word. The first round completed and I was out of the game.

The word was “Vasco Da Gama” and i passed on “Ice Cream Tanana”.

Communication Lessons:

  1. Do not attend meetings that requires a language you do not understand ;-).
  2. Prepare well before communicating. In this case, you got to be good in current affairs, history, geography etc., Even if you were in fourth grade.
  3. Invitation for a meeting could also mean that you may have been set up! 😉

That was the last time this group ever saw me again!
