We get into our apartments and get to know with other Youths from different branches. Then, all of us went 4 swimming. We played a game which seems to be like 'water polo' but eventually turned more aggressive like‘water rugby’. However, we enjoyed playing together with other branch’s youths.

7.30pm – Went to Genting Highland’s Sri Kaliamman Temple. We joined in the prayers and also in the Bhajan. After the bhajan, few of our Branch Youths together with few of other branch youths helped to serve food to all the participants. Thank you to the temple’s committee for arranging the things very well for us.
10.00pm- We were back to our apartments. We went to a conference room. There, brainstorming session was held. Mr Venkat and Mr Mahen talked bout few important things about developing Telugu Youths as well as efficient leadership. They were also a few topics which were selected to be debated. Almost every one of the participants had participated in the debate and gave their opinion. During intervals, a few youths took the opportunity to make some jokes and make everyone to laugh. Among the youths were our branch’s youth vice chairman, Mr Vengkateswara Rao.
