INTERVIEW OF SAROJ KHAREL (ME, 3rd Year)
Interviewed by Aparna Jha and Satyaki Bhattacharjee;
Photographer: Aditya Singh
Q. What are your views about “The Chatter”, the first
official newsletter of SMIT?
A. I think The Chatter would be the voice of SMIT. Right now, many activities go unnoticed in the college. Things happen and no one knows about them. It would be a medium to reach everyone, so that the opinion of every student is taken into account.
Q. What so you see SMIT as? Explain SMIT in your own words
as you see it.
A. I think SMIT is a miniature India, filled with different types of people, people of different cultures living together, having developed a culture of its own.. Sometimes, I think SMIT is filmy. We take love seriously; we have a mall road, a piya milan chowk, a judai point and everything (laughs)
Q. Any improvements that can be made in our college
according to you?
A. What SMIT lacks is quality or say, the X-factor. I think
The Chatter is going to change that. SMIT might become one hell of a place to
be at.
Q. Apart from ‘The Chatter’, do you have any other idea of
how to bring this change?
A. The Student Council of SMIT is comprised of people who
have 7.5 CGPA and above. I don’t think only high pointers can be good leaders
or sportsmen.
Q. Any particular incident in this college that you would
like to share with us?
A. Last year, around October, I had arranged a whole seminar, on “How to Channelize Youth Power in SMIT”, by myself and it was a great success. I have fond memories of that.
Q. Have you taken any initiatives towards activities in the
college?
A. I tried to bring light on MUN, the Google club and The
Chatter. You see SMIT lacks coordination and communication. I helped these
clubs there. I brought all these clubs together and threw some light on them in
the seminar.
Q. Would you like to say anything about communism? Does it
exist in our college?
A. See, communism doesn’t exist on the outside, it’s on the
minds of people. It isn’t in SMIT, its individual characteristics. Sometimes it
could be a mode to release frustration.
Q. Any message that you would like to give your juniors?
A. Well, I will be gone in a year, so its my time to pass
things on to you. I think SMIT is going in a positive direction now, many
initiatives have been taken and they are working. So, best of luck everyone and
have a bright future !
