Yesterday you said tomorrow!
Procrastination is irrational and existential at its core. The ambiguous nature of self-awareness makes us feel rotten and glad at the same time while putting things off for a moment. It is a coping mechanism to resist the challenging emotions caused by the sight of certain tasks. That’s why procrastination is never an issue of time management but emotion regulation. It becomes a habit and not a once-in-a-blue-moon phenomenon.
The Department of Student Affairs is coming up with a talk on Today is the new Tomorrow – Beat procrastination, which will be handled by Student Counsellor Ms Sridevi Srinath. It’s time to break the ties between procrastination and productivity. It has nothing to do with the effectiveness of productive effort but with managing emotions. This session will help you break the procrastination cycle and develop an action plan that works for you.
Date: July 07, 2022
Time: 4 pm to 5 pm
About the speaker
Ms Sridevi Srinath has been in the field of counselling for over eight years. She holds an MSc in Counselling Psychology from Madras School of Social Work and an MPhil in Psychology from the University of Madras. Working in a school previously, she has over five years of experience in impacting the lives of children and adults across issues such as anxiety, stress, behavioural changes, soft and life skills, and career guidance, to name a few. She also has certification from UCLA Extension in Career Guidance and Counselling.
Come, and join the session!

Find your place behind the screen
No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul
– Ingmar Bergman
Inside the dark space of a movie theatre, it’s just us, the screen, and the projecting light against the world. We join the revolt of the artist against the real. The very idea of perceiving the comfort and discomfort of a cinema while sitting with a bunch of unfamiliar faces is enough to make you fall into the rabbit hole of filmmaking.
Ever wondered how people connect with people through mere moving images? Ever think of the stories you want to tell but cannot fix frames and pour life into them? It is the filmmaking enthusiast in you who makes you think of what is in a frame and what is out.
The fascinating thing about cinema is that it is an endless tool made up of pretty much the same elements. Cinema uses the language of dreams and each of them is entirely different from the other. The Movie Club is ready with a filmmaking workshop to awaken the storyteller in you. The workshop offers an intensive and instructional five-day programme focusing on the five main agents of cinema, including Scriptwriting, Direction, Photography, Editing, and Acting.
Date: From July 7 to July 11, 2022
Time: 6 PM
With every good film you see, you feel reborn
Join the workshop and find your place behind the screen!

Breaking the contract with unnecessary stress
Stress is an inescapable element of the modern age. At its core, stress is a response method of the body to the unpredictability of everyday life. People try their best to cope with the challenging changes in day-to-day life. When you let all those entangled thoughts and feelings percolate instead of finding the source of the things that stress you out, it starts to take a toll on your emotional and physical health. That’s why it’s important to find ways to mitigate your body and mind’s stress responses.
The Department of Student Affairs is conducting a session on Time to kick the stress out to convey the importance of identifying harmful stress and managing it in the best way possible. Your intention shouldn’t be to eliminate all the stress but the unnecessary stress and effectively manage the rest. Student Counsellor Ms Liza Hazarika will be handling the session.
Date: July 22, 2022
Time: 4.00 pm to 5.00 pm
Venue: ALC 3 – Admin Block
