A Journey being a TISSIAN about to Dawn …..

Yesterday, the result of many universities came out. Some gave me immense pleasure to know that I got rejected and some gave me immense learning that Mumbai is going to be a home away from home. It was nothing like a frustrating kid going to school when parents know what next is going to come but the poor kid doesn’t know at all what’s next? The similar story revolved around me. Actually, I never wanted to come to Mumbai. Nevertheless, it is Mumbai which was keeping her promises to my dream to let it flow in this dreaming land or the so-called “Mayanagri” to make me dream big and think rationally. Being a TISSAN my initial days were in an exciting zone. At the same time, it was rain which was about to make me lost the pain of being lonely, without friends, family and what not the best people around every corner of life. It was something best to happen in the course of time. New friends, new vistas of learning in many senses of life was about to come next. These learning were being independent at the moment when I was exploring so many opportunities in my life being it academic or a traveler or self-proclaimed blogger turned poet. I tried a multi-faceted approach to move on in academic year one and second while I was away from campus life to field doing some research for my research course dissertation. The fun and learning became part of my life at TISS and being a TISSIAN everywhere I went be it Sri-Lanka or Bhutan, a sense of different learning of society always flown within me which kept on exploring a value-based, society based and down to earth approach to mingle and make people feel those values which TISS stands for in its neutral value learning which makes this place a tiny island of knowledge in its entirety. The journey of being a kid to seeping into another zone of higher learning is around with this passing moment of convocation. This memory, this leaning lifestyle of losing some and being a lonely person in the work of being a researcher is next and around the corner soon. I am excited same time while perplexed in next moment what next is on the way. Still, I am happy that I made a little progress in my life as an academic professional. The path was shown by many moments in TISS, being a person of value, an aloof and independent person on many fronts are being tested soon at the life’s next journey. I am happy that the knowledge, the outcome, and persona of many categories is about to begin to shape me further in my metamorphosis days of learning and growing in academia. One side it is so many things happening in micro level in India and bundle of uncertain things are happening at a Macro level in the world. This is nothing but the opportunities for students to be employed for future ready and doing best shape to the world with knowledge and value but it is hardly can be seen what earlier TISS is known for. Still, the gimmick of a dawn of sun will succeed in its own way to TISS to reach the next milestone just like the poor kid who makes his own future with time and knowledge which mature him into a person. Something similar is going to happen in TISS too which will reshape everyone alike. Happy beginning it is called. Let’s be helpful and sharing people in the society as TISSIAN does………..
