My Earth My Duty

On 25th August our college organized a small Tree Plantation and inauguration of Prakriti the eco-club of RBC College. On the occasion the Principal of the college could not be present due to some unforeseen reasons. But Vice-Principal Sir planted the first sapling to start the event. Then PB sir, BB sir and other faculty members planted saplings. Ayan da our climate champ and our Special Guest also planted the sapling. Principal Sir planted the sapling on 26th. Then the VP Sir inaugurated Prakriti. BB Sir gave his speech regarding joining and asked me to take the helm of affairs in my hand. Then I gave my speech and politely refused to take charge of the Eco-Club rather I will become the Secretary and my Friend Suraj will be the Vice-President. Then Ayan da gave his speech which was great as usual. Many of my friends were motivated to join eco club after that. Then Suraj gave his speech which was very official like. Then we took the names of the student and staff members. We got around 20 names from Staff members and more than 50 names from students. Thank you all for the support. I also thank NSS and all my friends from Economics dept. without them this time also we could have failed like our seniors. And sorry for those food packets which you all should have got.
So we have begun today the green journey but we need now to take this journey forward fast and swiftly.
Bye

Together we can

I liked the idea given by Sulakshana. Why should we all work separately and not together? After all, all of ours projects are related to climate change. We are just tackling it through different fronts. Someone is working for green building, someone in climate finance, someone in awareness etc. But my project has got best of all the worlds. So surely need the help of all you guys out there. But then the one of our Martian Mr. Raghav’s worry is very correct. What I think we should do is we should simply write about what we are doing and let the help flow in. All the things which Raghav says are true and practical. But then we have to make our project impactful. And this work cannot be done alone for sure. So we should focus our energy at not more than ten projects at a time. But surely we can pass suggestions and all to others. For example we in East Zone more precisely ICCs in and around Kolkata have 4 waste management projects so we are doing it together. I also have a waste managemen...

The Placement Season

Almost an year ago it was the same time of the year when most of us were at our peak of nervousness. We were job hunting madly. It was a mad house. Class notes were replaced by job details and then by SOPs. We all did end up getting jobs though. Infact half of us got job in the very first day. Which for many turned out to be a disaster. What I learned in this whole year was we do lot of things just based on peer pressure and want to conform to the social norms. Higher package, bigger brand the better. And in all that cacophony we forget to listen to our hearts. Two years in TISS prepares us for many challenges that we would face in future, yet we decide to settle for things simpler and easier. If we put ourselves together we can achieve so much for our country and ourselves yet we fail to realise most of it in time.Yes some do realise it before other do and take that bold step. The fact that I am writing this post thousands of miles away from home in a foreign nations speaks vo...

#injusTISS: We are all in this together

One is extremely pained when one has to hear one of your ex-faculty member crying and telling her current student "Did I invest 6 years of my life, so you can heckle me?" From the first day till the end and beyond I have never ever found any dearth of support from faculty in TISS. I have always said they were and perhaps are the best thing in TISS Hyd. I have had arguments and disagreements albeit not in public, it never got uncivil definitely not a point where either of us had to cry like that. What has happened to TISS Hyd lately? I have never found it so divided before. There have been challenges and crises which students and faculties have worked together. And Alumni has played an important role.  Today some students seem to be fighting against some faculty members. Most alumni are staying shut. This is not about one or two people. This is much deeper and systemic. This is real fascism we have read and talked about. It won't come in one day out of blue but creep s...
