it was not easy to get the attention from the people we were supposed to 'consult', as they have spent a huge time mining through realms of paper and loads of data. Yet we could very easily spot one or two mistakes here and there and pinpoint some simple but relevant remarks. One of our graphs can encompass about 40 pages of their hard work. Life in IRMA definitely helps.
off to work now, I will definitely write about this in the coming two days. But this might also take a toll on my beginning of organised life.
***I am continuing this thread after six days, A lot have happened during these days, lemme try to make sense of some of them***
First things first, the call came from office of the minister of Rural Development. The minister himself met us along with a cabinet colleague and briefed us what to do in the next three days. What we were made to do was actively participating in drafting a presentation and notes to be submitted to the Justice B.N. Srikrishna commission who is looking into the issues of Telangana agitation. We worked our ass in the next 18 hours to come up with a framework for the presentation and filled some primary contents. We were visited by Deputy speaker a young guy with distinct american accent and elitist mannerisms. Later I came to know that he is the son of a former chief minister of AP and comes from a very influential family. However our entire work on the first day went in vain as the minister had got a presentation prepared by one of his advisers. After a very hearty course meal at his residence, we were asked to work on the revised presentation. We worked on it the entire second day and at the end, minister had it presented to his cabinet colleagues. The very next day he presented the same to the commission as well. The latter was done remarkably well.
One important thing that I learned from the experience is that it is always good to have running notes with you for a presentation. Extempore is sometimes too big a risk !!
