At 11 in the morning, when I went to the Dean’s board room, I could hardly meet the students who went and spoke with me. They were all nicely dressed and looked very smart and professional. (I was wondering how nice it would have been if they had worn like that all the while)
They fought for what they believed was correct! And that was nice to see. Irrespective of their divisions they were standing on a common ground. But it was sad to see that they were prepared to jeopardize all the things students of their batch could gain from having a batch representative.
When the chairman of the meeting gave them another week asking them to discuss among themselves and select a representative among themselves, I thought it was not the correct thing to be done. Yet, once a decision is taken by the chair, it stays a decision.
So, the students who came to the meeting won. I was happy that they won and that they were happy. But I feared that, whether we would not be able to break the trend of this division and unite the batch for the betterment of not only of that particular batch only but for all the students (present and future).
For their sake, I hope that they would put their differences behind and try to see why and what we were trying to give them…
