Choosing the class representative...

Choosing the CR?    
 
Now what is CR?... The question should be, who is the CR?
CR stands for class representative...
Now, CR is someone who actually acts as a bridge between the teachers and the students...
Now what actually a CR is supposed to do?
How are they elected?
How is their relation with all the students?
Are they a bridge or they create a big gap between the teachers and the students?
Hopefully...I got some answers!

I remember the day when class mentor asked us about the student who has scored the highest in the entrance exams.
Many students had almost the same marks. So, he had to filter all the students to a boy and a girl...
They both were the CR's...
The people who wanted to become a CR were a bit sad but people like me were napping on the last bench in this election process.
Honestly, I am neither happy nor sad over who wins the elections...
Government changes, they profit, they prosper but all the citizens stay in the same place
India is still a developing country...
Prices of commodities keep on rising...
I'll be voting for the first time though
So, I try to exclude myself from any type of process which includes me judging others.
After I cast my vote, there's no point in regretting... But it's my responsibility.

Both the CR's were chosen and some people (including me) started to think, the class was better without a representative.
From a young age, we are familiar to the monitor of the class thing( CR is more or less the same).
I've experienced monitors acting as if they own authority greater than that to the teacher.
Maybe it is because of the age, the world's different but hell yeah they bully students...!
Now, if you are about to tell me that you were a good monitor...
Forget it I've been a monitor myself, I did the same thing and I considered myself the kindest person...!
No doubt I did not want an 18 year old me bullied by a student I don't know...

Yes the process was a rush... The mentor should have given us more time to know people and then decide who will be elected...
See, IQ and EQ are two different things.
I think CR is position where a person should possess a good amount of EQ and maturity.
Luckily, the CR's elected in our class possessed both... But the fact that we didn't know them as person created misunderstandings in the initial stage.
It's all good now.

I've heard from friends from other colleges or branches about the CR's who actually piss students off by acting too prudent.
Scolding and complaining stuff.
Your 18 dude!!! No need to act as an 70 year old retired officer from FBI...
Show responsibility, guide students, you don't run the college!

My relation with the CR is pretty decent.
( Till now...)
I've never placed myself in an objectionable situation.( Till now...)
I've never did anything worth complaining
(Till now...)
Let's see what happens
If something ever goes wrong, I need to contest for elections in the next year!!!
For that I need to gather some public support.
Need to socialize, got a lot of work to do!
I think I should establish a party...
All Indian engineering students party!


( Let's talk about the elections which will be held soon...
Ditch that Hangout, ditch that Date and ditch every other reason which takes you further away from the polling booth!
You can change your CR every year but it's not the same when it comes to the country.
Go vote! Your vote counts!)

Fake influencers: The agents of manufactured reality

 Fake influencers: The agents of manufactured reality How many public figures do you follow on various social media platforms? It’s great to be up-to-date with what’s going on in their life, isn’t it? Maybe you’re a big fan of his/her work or post feed. Their presence on social media ensures that they stay relevant to the culture and give their followers a chance to get a peek into their lives. A good amount of following can be used to create awareness, raise money for a cause and create a strong community. On the flip-side, it can also be used to push products/courses that benefit only the ones who sell them, and imbibe ideologies that are biased and serve no good to society. Many of such influencers sell us manufactured reality time and time again. It can severely affect our well-being as being the consumers of the same. There’s a lot of political tension in the world. People divide themselves based on countries, beliefs, races, genders, and ideologies. Most of them are ...

Finding friends for the journey

Finding friends for the journ ey ... D one with the first week, I was quite bored to have no one to talk to ... Even if I loved to do things alone, I had to find myself friends on whom I can rely for these 4 years and establish a bond of brotherhood and respect... Enough of this shit, I wanted some people around who could help in my projects, compete my assignments and mark me present even if I've bunked the lectures. Here is how I made my team and how each one of them represent a stereotypical student of an engineering college. I prefer talking to the people who appreciate my poor jokes at any cost. A small program in the college was a  great opportunity to socialize... I knew I had to do that even if I don't like it. I sat in the crowd where I started cracking jokes on the guest of honor... I ain't rude to do that... It's just my way of testing people I don't want someone to be my friend who can't take my jokes ... I found my first...

Fresher's fever

Freshe r's fever Now that we've done with our busy schedule, it's time to take a break and enjoy a bit... Yes... I'm talking about the fresher's party!!! But can all students really enjoy the party? Let's take the case... The biggest irony of life is... Happiness comes for a price What do I mean by this opening statement? Well, after 1 month of tedious lectures, practicals and work we hear about the fresher's party!!!.... Wait... What? It's after our midterm exams! No way This is what happens in most of the colleges. I guess you know how it goes after this. The ones who have prepared real hard for the exams score good... And the ones who have not, score terrible. So it's clear that the ones who score enjoy, The ones who don't,...cry... Not because they scored low but because of their unwillingness of enjoying the party! The midterm score was like a bomb on the class. And with every score declared, it was turning wors...
