A Year of Responsibility

A year has passed. A year has passed since we took responsibility. A year has passed since we were handed the baton to continue the work of our seniors. A year has passed since 26th March 2018. And we humans like to remember these anniversaries. We look back and analyse the past; listing the happy, sad, big, small, fond and haunting memories. So I am going down the memory lane to the year that passed since we became the Project Managers of the IIT Bombay Student Satellite Project.

As quoted by Yash Sanghvi, our mentor, "Both Ranade and Anmol have shown unquestionable dedication and commitment to the project, excellent discipline and organizational skills, required foresight, very good interpersonal skills, and proactive efforts towards enhancing team bonding." All these traits though possessed by us at that point or not, have been tested a lot in the past year. There are times when you are happy with the team's progress. Times when you are frustrated with the circumstances. Times you are proud of your team. Times you adore them. All these times one thing remains constant: The Team.

We are not just a project, we are a team, a family, journeying towards a dream

I made decisions, some right some wrong, the team always stood there. Especially Anant Joshi, You have surprisingly been more than just a friend who teases. I never expected to share as much as I have shared with you. Thanks for prying in when it needed prying. 😜

Shreeya Singh, you have tolerated me so much. I let you down, you picked me up. And now I am serving the punishment by tolerating your craziness. But in the end, a little craziness is required in life. 😅

Aniruddha Ranade, we have had our share of quarrels. Fortunately, we have had conclusions of all and got on along fine. I have learnt the most from you in this past year. 👏

The Team, The Family. We will have a senti session whenever we end our tenure. Will list you all there. Thank you for giving me the "Mother of Team" tag. I hope I have taken good care of you all.💓 I have learnt every day from each one of you in the process.

The 6 constant wingies, thanks for (very little) understanding my lack of time in the wing. You guys forget me sometimes when you order food. You go to movies without me. But then I do the same. 🙈 I know (hopefully true) that whatever it takes we will stay in contact. 

Mom, Dad and Family. I have been home a lot less in the last year. There are days when I don't call. Still, you guys support and guide me. Thanks a lot for being there. 💗
