' My Experience of Youth Festival :- '

My Personal experience about this Youth festival was great. I learned so many things during this 3 days of Youth festival. As I mentioned earlier that I never attented this Youth Festival during my Bachelor's. So, it was my First experience. But, I came to know that Participation is important. Along with that Multitasking is also a very important thing. Attending Youth festival is all about fun and energy. It is difficult to attend all the events at a single time but than suddenly you realised that It is a Work of full energy. You easily can not get tired about this. Because if you will easily get tired than you loose the charm of it and that is Why Curiosity and energy both the things are necessary.

Backstage Contribution is also must. As we know that our little Contribution towards any task played very vital role. This time I have not participated in any event. But , I decided that In next Youth festival I will take part and will work hard. In Master's I learned one thing that I want to mention here that always try to give your best in any task. Participation and Winning gave us the best Satisfaction.

So, I can say that it was my best experience in attending this Youth festival which helped me a lot in learning many new things.
