Striving for better, Always! - MDI, Gurgaon
As I sit here in library at Management development institute, Gurgaon writing this article, my mobile phone blinks whenever I receive a notification and my wallpaper says “Striving for better”. This quote is what has kept me going for the last one year. Before that, it was a totally different story. In life we have to often face situations we would rather just escape, but life doesn’t work that way, does it? We would want our life to head in a particular way and it would take 180 degrees turn and go the other way. It all started in class 10th. Just like any other average Indian student, I had no idea which stream I wanted to pursue in class 11th and just like most Indian parents, my parents considered Science stream to be safest and most tried and tested stream and hence the one to be pursued. And so, I started my journey of exploring electrons revolving around neutrons endlessly just like I was buzzing around in an environment I didn’t belong to. Halfway through 11th, I understood that I had made a mistake. And what followed was fear, fear of the unknown and I surrendered to it. I couldn’t muster the courage to repeat a class and choose a stream of my interest. So, the only option I was left with was to somehow bear with it and pass 12th. At that point of time, I didn’t foresee what was lying ahead - the decision of what to do after 12th. The same conundrum was in front of me again. And again, I gave in to my fear. I didn’t want to stay back at home to decide what I really wanted to do in life when all my peers would be starting their college and doing things according to the conventional timeline. The only logical solution to the problem was to pursue the subject I was most interested in, Mathematics and leave the bigger decisions of life for the future self. I was procrastinating something that was most important, and that would decide the due course of my career, but all the sixteen-year-old me cared about was the college life she had dreamt about, for so many years of her life. And luckily, University of Delhi delivered all of it. I made good friends, explored my extra-curricular interests, attended various events, went to places I had never been to, tried different cuisines, and did everything I loved doing.

Facing Challenges to Achieve our Ambitions
One of the most important instances in my life until today, would be when I cofounded a mental health committee at my undergrad level. With the kind of stigma and awkwardness that our society has with regard to mental health is quite disoriented with the kind of image we portray as a country on a world stage. I always felt things about mental health should be taught right from childhood but unfortunately, isn’t not the reality. In summer of 2014, I put across a proposal to start a mental health committee to handle the mental issues of individuals at my college. As expected, we faced with a lot of arguments against the students run mental health committee. The management was completely against the idea of a mental health club. I believe I was very adamant about a few things on this campaign. It meant I was alone through all this. As a student at that very same college, it wasn’t seeing one of very own fall pray to depression. It isn’t easy but the incident taught me that we need to be greater than we suffer. We came up with our proposals to the management, and after several data collations we were able to establish strong facts as to why addressing this issue was of peak importance. We were able to establish the first ever mental health committee at a professional college in Bangalore, against all odds. The instance thought me that it is very important to feel and respect others feelings and its critical that we are there for people who we need.
