Better Left it to be Unsaid!

Its a Dream...... The Dream of my life...!

Looks like a dream.... Happened during a daytime.....
Normally Dreams never stay too long after U wake up....
This is a Dream when it came,
I was awake, with my both the eyes wide open...
It seems its never going to fade, but only is there to brighten up my life....!

The Dream is full of smiles,
It is full of fresh air, bloosoms with the sight of flowers...

That Dream changed my Profile overnight!

It came when I was awake..
To make it a Truth, it closed the eyes,
when it opened, It was all there for me...nodding its head with acceptance...
Jus for me.....

It Jus Happened....!

Touch Ur face with a Rose ,
Kiss Ur head and finally whisper in Ur ears.....

Elections were the first thing which happened in the session 2005. It was always important for any secretary to have his troop ready before the battle starts. Hence the elections happened during the month of March and April.

The below are the students elected through the elections for the various posts:

Unit Designee Nikhil Saxena

Louis I Kahn Debashree Pal

Nari Gandhi Taniya Sanyal

G Sen S. Sai Sathish

HUDCO Gaurav Kapoor

Reubens Trophy Siddharth Barua

Meetings were held at frequent intervals in order to keep the thought about the Annual convention at December, fresh in the minds of the students. This was very important as we dint have much to cheer about in the last two years performance. Our performance was very vital at this year as we were on the point of sliding from the top. We had to put our best effort to make a re-impression in the national convention this time. These efforts has to be directed in the best possible manner and the students have to motivate till the job is done at December, besides keeping me motivated till that destination.

In the process of that, we got Mrs. Aruna Ramani Grover as our Faculty Coordinator from the month of February 2005. She had always given the push needed at the right time. Yeah, she was also harsh, but still the time the work done, all is fine. Because it was her on the top as faculty coordinator, many problems were sorted out so easily within the students to be honest. Before the academic year of 2004-05 came to an end some coordinators meeting were held to have some new ideas to go ahead this time.

Then it was time to get the Trophy problem sheets which was given at the first council meet held at Marathwada Institute if Technology, Aurangabad, from 24^th to 26^th June 2005. All the briefs came in that meeting. As there was a vacation span of 2 months, it is cruel to wait till the college reopen to give these problem sheets to students. Hence all the briefs were posted in the unofficial college website www.spatalli.com. Many students started thinking about those briefs and some of them even started up with the ANDC (Annual NASA Design Competition) hosted by KLGSIT, Belgaum, Karnataka. This time we had sent five entries in total. They are as listed below. Even though there were lots more groups worked on the competition it was only these five finally did it:

1. Ankit Kumar III Year

Aatisha Varshney III Year

G.Sriraj III Year

Aneesha Alex III Year

2. Inato Sema III Yr

Bhavna Muttreja III Yr

Sourabh Goenka III Yr

Arpit Balhara III Yr

Ankita Gupta III Yr

Pallavi III Yr

3. Mayank Sharma IV Yr

4. Swati III Yr

Anju Reshma III Yr

Arghya Jyoti Hore III Yr

Ekta Gupta III Yr

5. Priyanka Pandey III Yr

Shahsank Jain III Yr

Divesh Jaiswal III Yr

Towards 2005 NASA Convention held at Academy of Architecture, Mumbai, as the first step these 5 entries of ANDC trophy were sent.

By that time, the deadlines for the remaining trophies were set up during August in a meeting held within the coordinators. According to that the next target was to have a mock up presentation of all the Trophy works during the Pooja vacations. It was harsh to ask the students to stay back in the vacations to work on it. And it was harsher from my part to almost threaten the students to work in order to get into the specified 70 students list which was the set number by the host college to participate. But there was no other way to find and stop the passengers, who normally make it to the annual convention in large numbers rather than the students who worked. So we needed our priorities to be set right at the start itself.

Then came the Pre Convention Meet held at the Host College, Academy Of Architecture, Mumbai, from 16^th- 18^th September, 2005. This meeting was helpful in deciding and clearing all the doubts regarding the trophy works, convention arrangements, etc.

Then the work actually happened in the Pooja vacations and it dint stay just as words. Students stayed back in large numbers to work on the mock up presentation which was supposedly to be held as soon the college reopens. For everybody’s surprise it was pre- poned two before the vacation ends. This session of mock up presentation happened on 14^th October, 2005, had discussions and criticisms from Mrs. Aruna Ramani Grover and Prof. Sathish Khanna. This proved very useful in where we stood at that point, considering the Annual convention within 3 months.

Due to some problems in the work of Reubens Trophy, Siddharth Barua stepped down as the Trophy Coordinator and it was combinedly taken up by Vasanth P., and Atisha Varshney.

Then the real test started for me as a unit secretary, where I got to look after the trophy works besides, getting the arrangements done right for the Mumbai Convention. Because of which I had to stress the need of finalized students’ name by the end of October for the train tickets booking. Even though I dint get the proper list I had go ahead with the booking as I had no other option, when the tickets were getting over so soon. Then the tickets were done around the time of 2^nd week of November. The major head ache got over, finally! Almost every week there was a meeting somehow with the coordinators to check the each stage of progression towards the annual convention. There was always this problem of lack of time exists with us in SPA after the jury. We hardly get any time to finish or to even to do the work properly, as we had always ended in working in train journeys!!! Utmost care was taken in order to avoid that. For which the jury was made to pre pone 10 days clear of the Convention. The jury got over by 16^th December, 2005 leaving us with 10 days to work on the process.

I had one more problem in my hands right on that day, where the G Sen Coordinator Sai Sathish had to leave home urgently. But it was not much time where I had to panic. I had Praveen Kr. Singh, D Karthik, Subrodip, Ajay, etc., for the greatest rescuing act of this years’ NASA.

There were problems in getting the space for all the five trophies to happen. Finally all of them were sorted out and we got the both basements, some double rooms in the hostel to continue with the work for the remaining 10 days. All the 10 days work happened at a very high voltage in the hostel. Every other student had night outs in every other night. The scene was pretty electrifying in hostel through out these days. There was some problem in the money getting released, till the last day of leaving. Yes there was fault on our part also. Inspite of all these, I got help from some students such as Soumya, Praveen, etc, in terms of funds. After all these, the funds were released on that desperate time to breathe free from all sides.

All went well. There was no need of pulling the chain in train. All were there on the train on time. It was janta express, supposedly the slowest train to Mumbai. A passenger train which always gets delayed by atleast 5 hours. But there was no delay this time for surprise. We got there on time to put up the works in the specified halls. Not to forget that worked this time also happened in train. My regrets! Apologise! Couldn’t finish them there in Delhi itself. All is well ends well! After those 4 days of convention we infact made a great comeback in NASA after the disastrous two years of performance. Here is the list of the accolades we got:

Reubens trophy Special Mention

Nari Gandhi Best in ‘Popular Choice’ Category

G Sen Best in ‘Popular Choice’ Category

In addition to this our students the various workshops such as Calligraphy, Paper Mesh, Building Bridges, Caricature, etc, besides winning a handful of casual and informal events.

After all this there was one more thing to cheer too…

Yeah! I got elected as the President of NASA for the session of 2006. I had won the elections where the unit secretaries of all the colleges will have to vote for, to elect one among them as the President! Mansi, Unit Secretary of DYPCA, Mumbai stood against me. I got 40 votes to her 26 to become the President! I took over the post at the eve of New Year 2006! Yes, it happened exactly at midnight 12 of 31^st December, 2005!

Life keeps changing.. Yeah it is.. It has. Atleast in last 2 days.
As i wrote in the previous post, I was in such state and disaster mentally. But as I look myself into mirror, its altogether different.

Its not the stupid smile which was hard to come, But the perfect colgate smile...
Its not the stupid curves all around my face, but the curve just near my mouth, just speaking all, what I wanted to speak and laugh heavily...

Suddenly as I walked down the road, back to my heaven,
the Positive energy was there all over in me.
The flowers were bloosoming beautifully.
Could feel the nicer things happening around me.
Could feel the fresh air.
Could get the dynamic energy to do whatever I want.
Could get an auto without much of tussles with the driver.

From collateral damage state, today I stand TALL, born again.

Yes this Life is Always Beautiful....! Indeed!

Life is beautiful... I do say this quite often.
But the thing are not looking the same. What..?
Its looking like a hell. Why am I feeling soooo stressed out?
Why am I feeling some great weight at my head these days?
Why do I always have to look into the clock for the deadlines and to see how much time Im left with?
Why the hell Im taking all the pressure in my head...?
Whats the point of Work hard and die to top...? Rather than why people dont prefer to Chill out and Pass it out of them..?

I read these words some days before...
We spoil our health and everything in the process of working hard to earn money, during our younger ages... and........
We spend those money on recovering that LOST health and happiness in the later ages....

How True it is...


WHy am I still Silent....
Why am I still patient, when nothing is happening my way....
For once I feel, why can't I take a break by dropping a year, rather than struggle with something which is completely uncomfortable....
For once I feel, why can't I shoout at that time, rather than behaving as that good diplomatic guy..
For once I feel, why can't I get drunk and get hyper, rather than still holding on myself and my principle...
For once I feel, why shouldn't I walk out, rather than sitting and trying to give a smile, which is trying hard to come....
But I'm not in a state, to even decide any of the above..
Completely out of frame from the normalcy, disoriented completely.. From the position of handling umpteen things at a time, Now I feel I'm at a stage of self collapse and damage... What does it hold for me.. Atleast at this moment Life is not at all looking beautiful, atleast I can say that its not pretendng to do so......
