Committee Selection

Last month committee selection took place in my college (such as AlumCom, PlaceCom, B-Gyan). Being active in such during my college days, it was obvious for me to apply for such committees. But this time I decided not to. Reason? There are few which are as follows:

  • Many of the committees do the same job under different name. For e.g AlumCom brings an alumni of NITIE who can guide us, brief us about his management experience. Now even Samiksha and B-Gyan are doing the same. Few weeks a ago we had Mr. Ashwin Jacob from KPMG brought by B-Gyan, previous to that Mr. Sunil Shidwalker from Delloitte (Whenever I hear/read this name, I keep wondering why I had skipped this Biggie in my campus placements) had come. Obviously these committees are doing great job but why have 12+ people in each committee where they are more or less achieving the same purpose (exceptions Impact, PlaceCom and Prerana)
  • Now the most important reason. In my Ruparel days I was busy with studies. I regretted not attending a single festival of Ruparel. I tried to make up for that loss in VJTI by trying to attend Pratibimb with full vigour every year. I worked as a volunteer, as an organizer as well as a committee member in VJTI. I have organized seminars in Nirmaan and ACE, and I know how it feels when you work so hard for the seminar and people don’t appear for them. I have also had joy of working with great leaders in my batch like Sidscope, Alok, Aditya (I would call him Mr. Cool of vjcomps) and many others like them. But somewhere down the line I felt that I was not able to give enough time for myself, my health, interests, hobbies and yes to some extent my family. I mean, come on, once I get into a company when am I going to get time to read books, or play Cricket or for that matter any other sports, read information on web(even Nikhil Kulkarni mentioned reading wikipedia for a full day in NTIE when he was in NITIE). Obviously it is up to me to utilize the time which I have created by abstaining from committee selection. I have already joined the Gym (I already see Jeetu laughing out there) in Hostel 5 and would join my neighbour, Varun for Badminton. Good thing about NITIE is that it has facility for many sports like Badminton, Cricket, Football, Basketball, TT, Carom. Hopefully, I will make the most of my time in NITIE.

P. S.: Being passionate about Software I had decided to apply for Mastishk and TechMatrix. I got a reject from Mastishk, lets see what happens with TechMatrix.

Sawai Ekankika’ 2013

So this year I completed a hat trick of watching the finals of Sawai . Like the previous 2 occasions, this too was a great experience. Most of the plays were good and the overall performance level was better than that of the 2012 finals. Most of the plays were based social issues like parenting, cynicism among the middle class, etc. Unlike the previous finals, not a single one was of romantic/love genre. Here is the list of finalists- Nat S. M. R. T. We missed this one as we were late. But Viraj's father told us, this was similar to the play " Natasamrat " but a modern version. Emotional Atyachar This was a story of an employee in an e-CRM firm which is hired by clients so that someone can communicate with their family. These clients are too "busy" with their work that they don't have time to speak with their wife/kids/parents. The agent/employee E26 slowly starts getting emotionally attached with his clients' families. Finally, when he is about t...
