Diggingg Deep- "The Back Log"

#Day-7

We were in the class when Tanmay sir arrived with Lalita(a senior student) for the dialogue exercise pre-shoot. His face was lit with excitement and enthusiasm to start the practice as we were equally excited too. We asked some time from him before we move to floor as we had some back logs to finish. before we could finish the task and move to the floor, we came to know that our fellow batchmates, Sreecheta and Mainak had submitted a letter to the dean regarding their issue about the methodology of the workshop and certain kind of 'treatment' they have received from Tanmay Sir during the past few days of the workshop.

Things which were floating on the surface now have come out in open. As clearly as I see this the whole thing has turned into a battle now. This is the time when you apply Darwin's theory "survival of the fittest".

Till now we have been trying to make them part of the group. But since their ideologies are different from ours so it will be difficult for us a s a group to function together now.

We all including mainak and sreecheta had a joint meeting with the direction dept. faculties and the students of our batch (12th) regarding the issue of whether continuing the workshop further or not. 

We as a group after the meeting agreed that they can participate in the workshop or the session further only if they agreed to continue with the rules. 

They said they are okay with it and would like to continue.

Though inside I was constantly thinking how easily they shifted their positions. In the meeting both of them have again and again stated that they feel so threatened that they can and feel like lodging a FIR against Tanmay sir which they didn't. From lodging a FIR against the person to coming to a position where you want to be taught by the same person? Either your allegations against him doesn't hold any water or you have that low self esteem.

Point is if you are so sure that your ideologies do not match with the other group members or the Mentor(tanmay),you can simply refuse to be part of it. You have the right to choose whether you want to continue with it or not but making the workshop halt for your tantrums, ego issues, whatever it is for the rest of the seven people is not justified. If you are that eager to be part of the group and the session then just follow the instructions. You cannot expect the mentor and the other seven people to mend rules according to you.
