YOC saturdays...

Dear Tia,

Saturday, last week, was a different day altogether. You know why? That’s because it was actually the first time that I acted upon a decision I had taken earlier. This might seem to be a very small thing when…uh…you just read the line off, vaguely. But the encounter was something else, really. You should only be me to know how celebrated it!

My first date with YOC’s turned out to be a blind date. There was a power cut 5 minutes after the session began. Later, it came up to a candle-light rendezvous and lights on, finally! We even had a background score to cheer things up!

YOC’s was fun, I mean, how often does one gets to hear the review of ‘review of a book?’ or how often is it that we are asked to speak and a bunch of strangers lend their ears, sincerely until you are done with your talk?

There are two sessions called minor and a major (interrupted by a brief break…the best part! Lols!!) The former is a 7 to 8 min long book review, where in, your talk is evaluated afterward. Major is the part where everyone gets to speak even the non-members. Ask me and I’ll rate it as the most anticipated part!

In the majors, a topic, ‘define terror,’ was thrown at us. Though I thought I messed up my talk beyond repairs, I was told I could grow up with YOC’s to be a real good orator!
I couldn’t help smiling.

It’s fun on Saturday evenings!

Take care!
