I fear oblivion

Elective is pretty much presentations. But I liked today's presentation

Tuesdays are my favourite days of the week. I have elective in the morning and the rest of the day I'm free. Even if there's studio work, it can be done on Wednesdays. My elective faculty puts in so much effort. Like really! Today she went to L.D Institute of Indology and Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Museum. I thought it was really nice of her. She got a museum official to talk to us. The official spoke to us about the various artefacts that are exhibited in the museum. She went to explain the details of the sculptures, various dynasties, etc. It was really interesting. I like my elective.

Kiran ma'am wrote me another mail today morning. She wanted to shift a group member from my group to another group. She asked me if I was fine, obviously, I have to be fine. But somewhere I wish she'd stayed. Because in my group there are my group were two seniors and two of us who are 2nd years. I mean the person who ma'am shifted was the only one I kind of know. But it's fine, I guess. We had a group discussion today and my group members are chill. I like them.

Ruju Joshi's session was fun.

It was a very happening day. First, elective, then group discussion, then BUD meeting, then Urban Powwow. The meeting was about all the difficulties faced by students due to the online mode of teaching. A 5th year senior put in so much effort for the same. He made a google form that had around 20 - 25 questions. I guess for the first half-hour he went on and on about his findings. It's impressive, how some people take issues so seriously and try to find solutions. The major concern was the screen time. However, the authorities didn't say anything much during the meeting. The only thing they said was, we'll see what we can do, blah blah. After the meeting at 7:30, it was Urban Powwow. I was excited about this one as I had designed the poster. It was a really good session. The speaker was very honest in everything she said. She'd interned at BUD Program Chair's firm, which kind of made the session even more interesting as all of us are curious to know what our faculties do. Also, another reason I was excited was that I wanted to know if they'll mention Juhi or me somewhere. I wasn't disappointed. The Powwow team mentioned that the poster was designed by '19 batch. I was happy.

Now, about the title. I've always had active political opinions. I detest the BJP Government. I won't write about my political inclinations here, but I wrote the above statement for context. There's this one senior in 5th year, whom I look up to, particularly for his intolerance of nonsense, be it the college management or the government of the country. I wrote to him today. I asked him if we could do something about the deteriorating political condition in India. As expected, he was up for it. If reading this triggers someone, I don't care, honestly. Also, we aren't fools who dream of changing the world in a day. We're educated people who believe in democracy. If I'm being honest, I fear oblivion just like Augustus Waters. I don't want to die a nobody. I want to die a somebody. Somebody who made a difference, maybe a very small one, but some difference. Only thing is I don't know how to. I'm constantly trying to do something for things that I think are being wronged. Trying to be politically active is another way of me trying to right wrongs.
