Marilyn Manson has rightly said
"There's a certain group of people who are always going to dislike me and disagree with whatever I say"
While having a formal chat with
one of the seniors in the breaks between the interaction sessions organized by
the seniors to welcome their juniors, on the number of seniors present in the
auditorium other than the organizers, he said:
“The problem lies in forming groups. When a certain group is formed,
everyone tries to isolate themselves from that group which results in dichotomy
and therefore an initiative is seen as a mere gimmick to every other person in
the class”
I am still not sure about his
words being cautionary or an advice to his juniors, but understandably there
must be a family like ambiance in the class which was missing in the initial
few days of the session. Although the things seem to settle down a little bit,
this is an irony that in the process of creating comfort zones for ourselves, we miss
the big picture and tends to remain under the confines of the group………!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although I am not fully opposed to forming groups but the group must not be so extreme that it leaves no room for others and hence isolates itself from the rest of the class which paves way for conflicts.........!!!!!!!!!
Also don't be afraid to generalize anyone on a first look or initial appearance which is the foundation of any group as it is long journey for us which will leave lot of memories and therefore comity between students will benefit the whole class in the long run........
This is initial days in the
business for us and therefore we must be open to every idea, talk to everyone
and free to pass on our ideas in a candid manner because once our comfort zones are formed we tend to isolate
ourselves as what our one of the senior told us……….

Shue once said
“Try to have as diverse group of friends as possible and don’t get into
the clique (An exclusive circle of people with a common purpose) scenario”
