Reading Kill Your Talk is like someone compassionately held your hand and started walking you to the stage. The nervousness that once allowed you to be a mere audience, now can be seen as a tool to chisel a speaker out of you. The storyteller in Raghava is strengthened by the diverse and meaningful experiences he has crafted for himself and thousands of others across the globe. In this book, he gives you a glimpse of what it means to use one's voice to bring personal and global change. You can taste the spotlight, hear the mic rustling, at the end one applauds for oneself for having killed a talk, not an audience! Congratulations to Raghava for mothering a million speakers through this labour of love.
