Humans of IISER Mohali

As this is written, we are still fighting a long-drawn skirmish with the administration to reinstate the housekeeping staff we believe were unjustly fired. (Read about it here)

In our most recent meeting, as our able generals discussed our plans for the near future - a tangent sprang up. The idea was, or is a simple one. It is to show our appreciation for the housekeeping staff, in our effort to add depth to our efforts to integrate them with the IISER community. To do this, we are going to start by trying and saying thank you. At the convocation ceremony - on 24th of May, we will have a large collage made of photos of all the non-academic staff of IISER (or as many as possible) along with a joint chart for students to write thank-you notes.

We are also making a page - Humans of IISER Mohali (cliched, eh? :p) where we will upload all of these. Go over, give the page some love.

As we create this, we don't really know where it is going to go. It could become multiple things. A news outlet for all things IISER? A page to poke fun (harmless) and mock random people? The list of possible dreams is a long one. But for now, we want this to integrate the people of this campus. 
Eventually, we hope to hand this page over to IISER's photography and videography club and/or the literary club, with the hope that they can take this somewhere. Until then - Don't let's go gentle into that good night.
