Bhuvan Sai - Jamshedpur, Jharkhand

 

I vividly recall back in 2017 November there was a conference called JYC (Jamshedpur Youth Conference) and my brother used to attend these conferences for some time now so he came to me and he is like you are attending it and back then I used to be rebellious and was a=hard to get on with and had many broken relations with my family, friends and my relatives. I was kind of forced into it at start but I did have some curiosity too.

As I entered on my first day I didn’t like it that much as I didn’t want to understand much but from the second day, I got the hang of it and the GD’s helped me a lot as I could express myself not caring who will judge or not. That conference taught me a lot of things about my own self and my own broken relations.

The Journey of self-cleansing and knowing about your own self was not easy as I felt bad about my own self and the quite time really felt like a toll for first few conferences as my head was filled with guilt and questions and slowly- slowly the feeling started to change and that quite time still helps whenever I find an answer or feel bad about things.

In 2019, I attended my first National Youth conference in Panchgani and that place is magical. In those 8 days, I gave myself a lot of time and got so many questions about my own self and got some will to change things about my own self. With the help of some coordinators or volunteers I learned and solved some things over there. One of the things was I fixed my relation with my brother and one more thing I changed there was to overcome my fear of public speaking though I spoke in front of less people of 15-20 but I took a step over there.

Since then I have mostly attended JYC and every new conference I learn new things about myself and in my first year of the conference a coordinator told me that always be ready to accept and change yourself and since then I have been trying to change and learn new things in my life.

Also through this conference I have built good relations with the people over there, friends, family and relatives also this conference has given me the motivation and the confidence to speak out loud and a way to build my life around morals which are taught here.
