A Long Journey Ahead

Well, it had to come at last. A year that, even before it began, was sure to be one of the most important of my life. 2012 - no, not because the world is supposed to end in cosmic disaster. But for far more momentous things. Coming up in three weeks is Nav Umang 2012 - SAC's great big idea to rechristen Thomso and tear the Cultural Council open in one shot. Oh, is it going to bomb or what!

After that, we come to a real event - Cognizance, where I'm a co-organizer for the Second IITR MUN. Now, this is one event with massive potential - MUNs are the pinnacle of debating and political affairs, both being my passions. Last year's was a huge success and that adds to the pressure!

Then comes the summer internship. I've applied for plenty of research internships, but I do hope to go to abroad. IAS is almost certain, and going to Mumbai for the summer would be nothing short of a dream come true, but the chance to travel abroad is equally tantalizing.

Then comes fourth year. We meet at last. Does a surprise await me from the Literary Section? Well, that we'll need to see. But most importantly, I'll have GRE coming up in August and of course, my minor project.

In Kshitij, we'll be wrapping up our tenure and passing the torch to the second year (rather nervously, I may add). In Lit, I hope to lift a new torch. Several PDs are scheduled and I will participate in 2 or 3. At the end of Third Year, I hope to leave Kshitij behind with a website it can really call an asset.

As you can see, 2012 is already choc-a-bloc with work. Bring it on!
