Situations like getting stuck in traffic

Krishna gave his first ice breaker speech. He titled his speech as ‘Blue wagon’.
It was a story of a boy who was born blue, who found himself unique from his
friends due to his speech. He was so fond of rail wagons which pass by his
home. He narrated how life similar to a rail wagon has shown him a journey,
from being an introvert school kid to someone who helps his society as a
mechanical engineer.

Teja came up with two activities. First one was we have to divide ourselves in
groups of two and make conversation among us. But the condition is we had to
stand as far as possible. (One near small hut and other near entrance of
corridor) So we had to shout. This attracted attention of passerby. Second was we had to shout in the sequence of
increasing pitch. Both of this activity was focused on strengthening our voice
and overcome our stage fear.
