MEETINGS

Meeting, a term which is looked upon with utmost seriousness. A platform where people interact, exchange ideas and take important decisions. Our SIFE meetings are no different. We have a very intellectual hour (hours) of discussion. That doesn’t mean they are boring, of course not. We have our bit of fun. Let me elucidate.


Our meetings start on a very positive note. We have people running and coming from all parts of the college. SIFE is very particular when it comes to punctuality. So the first aim while attending a meeting is to make it on time. There is nothing exciting about standing outside the room when the meeting is going on. Then we move on to the attendance. For some reason attendance is always a very funny part of the meetings. Like a typical classroom attendance we have some people forgetting to respond when it’s their turn and others who respond in a hilarious way (every single person including the writer of this article falls in either of the two categories). What follows the attendance is as I had mentioned earlier, serious and important discussions.

Every week all of us wait for the gathering of our little family. A time when we laugh, a time when we work. We crack jokes and we take notes. Nowhere is it said that meetings should be all about business, it’s about social life as well. After all in SIFE your colleagues are your close friends and comrades

What's happening @ SRCC

SRCC is buzzing with the election campaigns going on in full swing. Posters, placards and pamphlets are the only things that are visible. (Imagine some supporters were also distributing bookmarks in the library!!) On the other hand some people are just enjoying the days off on Wednesday and Friday. Everyone please come to vote and exercise your right. REMEMBER bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.


Also just a reminder for everyone, the deadline for applying to the C2P Case Grant Competition is 9th September. So all of you hurry up and register! And spread the word around too! Encourage your friends to take part in this amazing opportunity. We want as many applications as possible. All of us at SIFE are working hard to make it a success.

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said,

People will forget what you did,

But people will never forget how you made them feel.

So go ahead and come up with an idea to help the society

SIFE is presenting all its freshers with an opportunity to discover our potential and realize what all we are capable of. All of us are truly enjoying the time we spend with SIFE in its meetings, discussions.........etc Bye to all :)

CAMPUS COMMUNITY PROGRAM

SIFE SRCC has taken part in an initiative called Campus Community Program which gives all the students a chance to come up with their own social entrepreneurship projects. It gives us an opportunity to employ our creative and analytical minds and come up with a project to benefit a community. SIFE held an orientation for the same on the 2nd of September. And guess what? If the project is too good, it could be the next SIFE project!! Isn’t that a really big incentive? Everyone at SIFE go pass the word around and encourage more and more people to take part. We all hope this program is a huge success and an enriching experience for many of us. The essence of this programme is captured in this quote by Barack Obama-“Find somebody to be successful for. Raise their hopes. Think of their needs. That is true success in life.”


Meanwhile, the first years are getting a first-hand experience of the functioning of SIFE and its organised methods. Doing something productive for the society gives all of us great pleasure and we enjoy work a lot. With the support and guidance of the second years we soon hope to make valuable contributions.

Before you begin a thing, remind yourself that difficulties and delays quite impossible to foresee are ahead. If you could see them clearly, naturally you could do a great deal to get rid of them but you can't. You can only see one thing clearly and that is your goal. Form a mental vision of that and cling to it through thick and thin.

Leaders

       Leaders form an integral part of any organization, whether it be formal or informal. Leadership is an all pervasive process. They bring an order to the group and inspires their followers. It is only through their guidance and efforts with which the taste of success becomes more sweet. Thus it is quite evident that leaders are necessary to overcome the hurdles that obstruct the path to glory.

     There is one thing about leadership, the torch has to be passed on. One of the most important duties of a leader is to train their followers to become future leaders and that is exactly what has happened in SIFE, the process of succession. The newly declared leaders, I am sure owe  their growth to their seniors. This is what we expect too and this is what we will be taught.

      I hope that by next year we will be worthy of being leaders and manage the phenomenon that SIFE is. The year ahead is definitely going to be a tough and a challenging one. Why worry? After all we are blessed with talented leaders. All I got to say is ‘BRING IT ON’!!!!

The first years had a very enjoyable time today listening to the experiences of our seniors, the impact SIFE has on their lives and how it can really evolve us as a professional. We realized that what one gives to SIFE is just a small fraction what one gets back from it. We would definitely value their advice and try to incorporate all the good values in our characters. This has motivated us a lot to contribute as much as each of us can.


Work at SIFE has started in full swing and we are learning new things every day and having new experiences. We have a lot to learn from our seniors. We do look forward to more SIFE experiences to come our way.

Signing off for today
