The present sessions at YOCS include a book/art review, a minor and a major. One of the firmest pillars that YOCS, a 46 year old club, stands on is its evaluation session. Judgments are made and accepted all the time. Group discussions, prose-reading sessions, poetry sessions, declamations, debates and JAM sessions also find their way into the agenda from time to time. In these three-hour sessions, over three decades of its existence, YOCS members have traversed far and wide in their intellectual discussions. YOCS has provided a platform for discussion of varied topics and works of varied individuals. Some of our gatherings can claim to have hosted presentations or aroused discussion on Kautilya and Camus, on Ramesh Sippy and Ingmar Bergman, on Des Cartes and Phaedrus, not to mention more mundane matters like nuclear disarmament, neo-colonialism, and job reservations. The members of YOCS have gathered to engage in public speaking activities and any matter is acceptable for their speeches, as long as it is within the rules of decorum. To an outsider, YOCS may seem like a gathering of blue stockings, which would be quite far from the truth. Members have had varied reasons for aspiring to the YOCS membership. For some it may be the desire to interact with others at a certain level of intellectual accomplishment; some may hope to develop and polish their communication skills in advance of their appearance in competitive examinations and job interviews, and some may just wind up at YOCS to spend an evening a week with friends.
