Dear Yamuna

Lecture -Presentation Skills for the Private Sector

Thank you for inviting me to talk to your students on rather a touchy subject specially to today's undergrads. I must say I enjoyed it immensely and I would like to believe that the presentation was appreciated.

Yesterday's Daily News had an interesting article in the centre page relevant to the subject of my talk by Renuka Jayawardane. I am enclosing an enlarged photostat of the article for your notice board.

I am sure none of the students would have read the article. It is our experience that as a general rule the sophisticated females don't read newspapers, they only read the fashion pages and the gossip columns. It is the rural women who read newspapers because they have time hanging in their hands. Maybe I am wrong.

With kindest regards Sincerely

Jehan Selvaraj
