Today's Session
If i am to talk about today's session i feel it was pretty good, infact the speakers were really good and didn't drag around too much or were pushy about the questions and i think the 1 question 1 answer thngy made the session pretty lively rather than just one side of the audience having interest while the other side chats away! The speakers were more clear in the way they expressed their opinions. The speeches made by Anuroop, Febna and Varun were pretty good and showed the junior memebers how to present their ideas in a very captivating manner. The questions raised were also very good considering the interest level of the audience. It was sad to note for the last couple of weeks how the members were showing an indifferent attitude when the speeches were being delivered and at the time of questions.Coming to today's intro's; i felt the same old UNIY coming into shape when we had the intro's of the Ann and Anupama were going on, i feel that for both of them the grilling was to the max and this is how a intro should be handled. Kudos to all members for maintaing the standards that one expects from UNIY. Coming to the last 2 intro's; that of Ancy and Seelu, i felt Ancy performed a bit under her capacity and she has time to improve. Seelu was pretty good for a 1st timer and she really gave our SECRETARY a run for his money! Hope she does keep up the same level in future too! Looking forward to hear more news from all these new faces and hope they bring new life to UNIY.
Now the main event! The event was a very good effort from Rakesh whom i had informed about the main event yesterday night and seeing how good it was, he did an excellent job of giving topics that were really good! The teams were all pretty good(but still the best team won :P). Today's main event did all of us a good thing, it exposed the levels to which we are ignorant of wat's happening aroound us! The topics given were all current issues which were in the last 1 week's newspaper headlines, still many of us didn't even know what some topics were about! This is a very sad thing to happen especially to a BUNCH OF INTELLECTUALS that UNIY symbolises! It's not such a big deal to read and develop your current affair knowledge, everyone has access to the basic newspaper that hardly anyone touches! Why such apathy to something that hardly requires any effort?? Many of us use the internet for increasing our friends circle thorough yahoo chat and Orkut, why can't we use atleast 10% of that time over some news articles and increase our awareness about wat's happening around us???
It would definatly do all of us good, even if we are Engg students, Literature, Economics, Psychology or even school students. It would help us in one way or other like if we are preparing for CAT or any other competitive exams Current affairs is a sure shot question area in ur Interview. We have many members who are IAS aspirants and still we lack the level of knowledge that even a high school student. Similar is the case of anyone who wants to write some exam in future, no matter where you go this is an area which YOU CANNOT IGNORE. So take a few mins off your schedule and do take your time to read the paper in the mornings.
