I studied Media Studies here in CHRIST. I’ve a lot of good and amazing memories in CHRIST. One of them would be the Food Court. Every time there was a break or every time our friends would want to hang-out, we would go to the Food Court and every time we went there, there would be someone performing or someone sitting there with a guitar or singing. There was a lot of time for us to explore our creative space and was not just about the textbooks for me, at least. So, I used to really explore the talents within me. It could be singing or dancing. The first 2 years I had this group called Shraddha and we used to dance for Darpan. My team and I would practice all night, all day and I picked girls from my hostel so that we could practice together. That is one of my fondest memories that I have of CHRIST.
Another one is that they always bought amazing speakers to college to have sessions with us. This really made us feel that even we can do it and it really helped us understand the field we were getting into from their perspectives. We were really guided through the whole process.
3 years, it looked like a very short period of time for me because time just flew by and everyday was so eventful. There were so many cultural events happening and the
campus itself is a beautiful place. It was so soothing to sit in the campus and be around the campus. Even after the classes got over, I would be inside the campus, even if it had to be me sitting alone and even if I had to write a project I would choose to be in the campus and do that because it is just so green, lush and so beautiful.
The students there were all so helpful. It is such a beautiful culture within the campus. The teachers are so friendly and so helpful. The teachers make you feel they can really help you and they really do that and the teachers, by the end of the year, become like your family. Also, I could say that I had my first camera when I was in CHRIST where I used to use my friends. They were all my muses. I used to be behind them clicking pictures. I used to even go around the campus clicking pictures because the campus was so beautiful. It is actually part of the album I have. I still have a huge album on Facebook. The funny thing is, since I was the photographer none of the pictures have me in it. Only few have me in it. Everything else is my classmates and classrooms.
