I was waiting for this day! Today we had orientation of this project with Professor Aditi Ranjan for which we had to go to the NID, Paldi Campus in Ahmedabad by the morning 9.30 am bus.
A crazy start of the day it has been!
Owing to the 3rd semester jury I have next week, I & Pari were working through the night and slept at about 6.30 in the morning. We both had to go to Paldi campus by the 9.30am bus so we decided to wake up by 8.30-8.45am. Both of us dint realise when our alarms went off and we woke up at 9.25am screaming - OHHHH S**T!!! Within 7 minutes we both were ready and we ran to the bus! Luckily the bus was a bit delayed :)
Hunger pangs - Ohh yeah we were super hungry as we did not get a chance to go to the mess or Khopcha (our canteen) for breakfast as we would have missed the bus if we would have!
We arrived Paldi campus with Prof. Shekhar Chatterjee & Prof. Amit Sinha to meet Prof. Aditi Ranjan. She took us through the whole process and gave us some brilliant insights on how to go about it! Here are a few snapshots of some notes from the session.
Most important learnings from this session have been the following:
- We have to stop objectifying what we see in design.
- Do not get entrenched with the technique. That is not the only or most important thing to study.
- Study the whole value chain. Eg. Study right from how the crop is grown to finally how the product is made.
