Growth - Episode 2
Today happened to be the awaited day. The programme was to start by 10:00am, but I was done dressing up and was set to leave my hostel for the venue by 8:00am. Funny enough, the event center was just a stone throw.
I had anticipated this programme long enough. I couldn't trade it for anything! And that was why I planned taking the first seat at the front row. I was prepared to view every act . To miss nothing.
The meeting room was set up in a theatre style. Each row of chairs was arranged so that participants faced the front of the room.
Finally, it was about 15 minute to 10:00am. Every piece of the sound system was rightly positioned. Nice music was oozing out of the stereo. We were expecting the arrival of some of the speakers.
At last, the programme kicked off by 10:00am. The host started with an opening prayer, after which she welcomed everyone who was present. And the special guests were recognized.
After some preambles, the speakers took turns to rise and speak to us. Each of them adhered strictly to the time they were allotted. They were a wonderful set of speakers. And they indeed did justice to the topics—Leadership, Sex and Entrepreneurial skills. Admittedly, they swept me off my feet and made me conclude that this was the best place to be for anyone craving for growth.
It was now time for questions and answers

. A lot of questions were asked by the participants and appropriate answers were given. But one of those questions caused me to change my sitting posture.
The question: "How can one handle sexual urge as a virgin, without having sex with the opposite sex?"
The response: "Culturally, virgins are respected a lot. But if you do have a persistent urge, it's better you polish the pearl."
Participants: "Ha."
Response: It's better you polish the pearl than allowing someone jilt you. This will help you face your studies and lessen the rate of break up trauma.
The participants clapped and screamed in agreement with the speaker's response. And with that, the programme came to an end. And about 500 participants poured out of the meeting room.
No one discussed what the other speakers said. It was the last part of the question and answer session that ruled the day.
Considering the response the speaker gave, would my growth be in safe hands?
Stay tuned for the next episode.
