SOIS works.

            
             Hushed, unsuspecting and cold we bustled through the Changi arrival gates. We had no friends nor mentors - Yet !.
             In step representatives of SOIS. The new batch of students of Indian origin is received at the gates of Changi Airport. We get a survival guide, some senior-friends and a phone number (no points for guessing whose). Month-long from then, SOIS members orient the "freshies" with the ways and lays of Singapore and NUS. Life is good.
             Time flies and in a whisper it's the mid-semester. We've all been down and studying. It's time to awaken the dormant muscles - its sports time - its Kreeda. Teams of Indian students compete in this exclusive sports and games event. Competitiveness is soon lost on us and all we have is fun - pure and unadulterated. Though they did award a Champion team but strangely all of us were smiling and cheering as we went back. .
             November 4. Exams were looming close but then who cared ! It was Dipawali. All we wanted was food and crackers and dancing. SOIS must have read our minds - they had exactly that. We had loads of amazing Indian food, lit up sparklers and danced late into the night to Bollywood tunes. One could not have had a better diwali away from home.
             Too much fun at Diwali soon has us panicky with exam-jitters. There is too much of the un-understood and the never-read stuff. Thank SOIS ! for the classroom help sessions where the friendly seniors cleared all our doubts and corrected our follies for a whole week. We managed to handle all unfriendly questions.
             Exams finished soon and everyone was home as soon as they could. A well deserved first holiday - one month of relaxation and we were back to our "karmasthali". Second semester meant studies were going to get harder - and so was the fun. .
             In January we celebrate Pongal. The SRC evening is resplendent with lights. There are venpongal and sakkaraipongal and gulabjamuns. Kolam sits on the SRC steps. Songs and gaiety are in attendance.

Sartre thinks that there are two Beings in the world, the en-soi, the being that rests in itself, such as a chair, and the pour-soi, the being that is aware of itself, for example, man (Kaufmann 44).
