The second day of IBLC 6 brought with itself excitement and anticipation among the participants as to what will this day hold for them. The day champ for this day was Mr. Hussain Aftab Changi who soon had the crowd clapping to his signature clapping style. He also had an interesting set of activities in store for the participants which he had named gangnam time. These included games like tug of war and racing.

Furthermore, another interesting activity was that he gave the participants supplies which included cardboard, rope and cutter, with which they were supposed to make a car. What he wanted to teach teams was resource utilization. In addition to this, he showed them a video which made everyone in the crowd very sentimental. Other speakers which also graced the conference with their presence and the key learnings which were taken from their sessions are:

• Nadia Hussain (Actor, Model, Designer)
‘There is no one formula for success. It is only how you deal with a particular situation and also how confidently you deal with it’

• Mirza Bilal (Comedian, Model)
‘If you want to achieve something, you will find a way and if not you will find an excuse’

• Shallum Asher Xavier (Guitarist)
‘Value you time!’

• Faizan A Laghari (Entrepreneur)
‘Go ahead! Have the courage to live your dreams’

Another highlight of the day apart from these brilliant speakers were the 1 minute skits performed by each one of the clusters on the theme which was given to them. The theme was ‘Dil Walay IBLC Lay Jayeingay’. This brought out a wide array of performances with some being hilarious while others hardly bearable.


After all of this, in came the gossip box in which participants had placed anonymous chits with secret messages for many people. One of the messages which kept on reappearing was how hot or "HAWT" a CF Mohammad Hamza was. I Guess, he will eventually turn out to be the most popular CF in the conference. Other interesting messages included anonymous proposals and appreciations.

The blockbuster end to this day were two amazing social events which included Bonfire and BBQ night with sparkling lights and splendid décor.
