Khiladi:
I have been a public speaking trainer since 1996. In addition to the excellent techniques suggetsed by all above, I suggest one that always works. Its like this....
I feel shyness stems from the fact that we are mostly embarassed by the sound of our voices. When we speak, we feel that our voice is inadequate...making us feel that what we are saying is unimportant. Hence our point of view literally gets buried in the clutter!!The solution is that we need to first like the sound of our own voice. Once this happens, we will start taking the initiative in speaking and speak without feeling shy about what other people will think about us.
In the night, or whenever you are alone, stand in front on a mirror and LOUDLY read out the newspaper. Make sure your voice is many decibels above your normal voice. Dont shout...but speak loudly and forcefully Do this over a period of a month and you will see that you will slowly start losing your inhibitions. Let me know your progress. All the best.

Dear Himanshu,
The most important reason for your short coming in communication is your lack of confidence and the lack of confidence is because you donot have adequate knowledge in the subject language. The best way to improve your communication is by exposure to the language through continuous discussions in language, going through various materials like books, papers etc. you can also take personal guidance from some of the speaking courses.
Your problem will vanish when you become confident and you will become confident only when you are knowledgeable and you will become knowledgeable only by your sheer hard work to improve on your short comings.
