There he Goes

The date was 30th of June 2010. I when out from a local train at Shayamnagar station. I thought of meeting a big tall old guy. But all my hope were met partly. I was a bit surprised. Talked about my project and other stuff that day and found him quite helpful. I got to know about mychlorophyll.com. I opened it as fsat as my computer could start (I must tell you that My Ubuntu Linux takes only 20 seconds to boot. So that was quite fast). Next meeting with him was in the Bristish Council on 6th of July. Perhaps one of the most memorable one. Because we live very near to each other. We both went Sealdah on Amitava's car. There he boarded a train saturated with people. And I had to jump from the wrong side to get down from the train. From then to till he went he gave me some very nice experiences on the train. Except a few. But I will miss those all now. Just last day I came to home on a empty train missing him a lot. Missing all that arguments he had once with a co-passenger for getting me a sit.
Well I can only say now about him is that big things come in small packages. I will miss you a lot I know but I am some what experienced in this now. All those days I spent with you will be a gift for me. I'll pray to god for your success. All the Best.

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...

#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...

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...
