‘Class of Now' rewrite career script, select courses that fit
Mumbai: Once upon a time, there was a path laid down like railway tracks: science for the toppers, commerce for the cautious, arts for the wanderers. But the 'Class of Now' is more invested in writing its own script. Ananya Singh, 23, had planned to wear a white coat with forensic psychiatry on her mind. But NEET, with its punishing pressure, made her hesitate. "I was always scared of the 'Where do you see yourself in five years?' question," she said. The answer came not from a textbook, but a phone call — a cousin studying International Relations at Ambedkar University in Delhi opened a door she didn't know existed. Ananya enrolled in International Relations, graduated, and went on to do her Master's at the University of Manchester — turning down an offer from the more prestigious University of Edinburgh. "Manchester just felt more student-friendly," she said. A quiet reminder that for this generation, fit matters more than fame. Sometimes, the city matters more than the course. Additya Shrivastava, 19, fell for Boston after a summer stint at Berklee College of Music. "I wanted real-world experience, not just lectures," he said. Now in his second year at Northeastern University, he's studying Environmental Sustainability and Economics, a degree shaped as much by urban energy as academic interest. It's not just anecdotal. Education counsellor Karan Gupta sees it daily — students with sharper filters and deeper questions. "They're not just chasing rankings," he explained. "They weigh return on investment, global exposure, safety, campus diversity, and post-graduation outcomes. Even political stability matters now." For some, the pivot comes from introspection. Hita Rai thought journalism would fit as she liked to write, after all. But halfway in, it felt limiting. "It wasn't creative enough. And honestly, it isn't lucrative," she said. So, she switched tracks. At O P Jindal Global University, she's now studying Corporate Communication and Public Affairs. "It combines PR, advertising, storytelling; it just feels like me." This fluidity must be encouraged, said Sunita George, principal of Bombay Scottish School. "Some children are sure of what they want. Others are lost. That's natural." Her advice: allow students to explore. "Experiential learning is everything," she added, pointing to her own daughter, who discovered a love for marketing through school activities. On college selection, George has a simple rule: "Course first, college later. There's no such thing as a bad college, it's about where you fit." Sarah Nathani, 19, knew she wanted more than just formulas and labs. A physics enthusiast with a liberal arts heart, she found her perfect match at Harvey Mudd College, California, known for blending STEM with humanities. "I wanted depth in science and breadth in thought," she said. That the college was in proximity to tech hubs was a happy coincidence. Today's students are crafting paths that reflect who they are becoming, not just what they want to do. In their choices, there's agency. In their detours, discovery.

Confronting colourism and casteism
Protests in paintings Besides 'Dark or Divine', is a mixed-media work made of jute (koni pai cloth), yarn thread, and a body print. In this piece, Yazhini connects two protests that happened a century apart in different parts of the world. One is the Thol Seelai Porattam, the so-called 'breast tax' protest. In 19th-century Travancore, Nangeli, a lowered-caste Ezhava woman, cut off her breasts in protest against a tax that forced women like her to pay for the right to cover their chests. The other is a series of Western feminist protests: the 1968 'Burn the Bra' demonstration, 2007's 'Go Topless Day', and the 2012 'Free the Nipple' campaign. Lived experiences 'People often view feminism through a very narrow lens and say one is true feminism and the other is pseudo feminism,' she explains. 'The Thol Seelai Porattam was a protest for the right to wear upper garments by women from marginalised communities, while the Free the Nipple and Burn the Bra movements are often misunderstood as the right to not wear upper garments. Both are about bodily autonomy.' Born and raised in Chennai, Yazhini began her art journey in higher secondary school. She explored photography, dance, and theatre, but later chose visual art. After completing a BFA at the Government College of Fine Arts, Chennai, she finished her Master's in Visual Art at Ambedkar University, Delhi, in 2024. Her work is shaped by her lived experience as a dark-skinned Bahujan woman in India. 'I've always received criticism about my body — like other women — not being represented or being misrepresented in mainstream media. These things led me to create politically. Everything I produce comes from or is related to my skin and body,' she says. On her goals for Dark or Divine, she shares, 'A seventh-grade girl once asked me about it after seeing my interview, and that made me feel that my goal was working. Conversations like these need to happen in various spaces.'

Keeping up with UP: Time for the public to lead environmental campaigns
The editor of a vernacular daily in Lucknow had published a page 1 report in the 1980s on ' Water Riots Soon.' None took it seriously in the government while a few journalists even mocked the analytical report. Almost three decades later as groundwater levels fall, his prophecy may become reality. Already, disturbing videos of parched fields coupled with brawls over a can of water have started to emerge from Uttar Pradesh (UP) and different parts of the country. VK Joshi, who retired from Geological Survey of India, has relentlessly advocated water conservation. He explained: 'People must understand the impending danger of water shortage. Groundwater is like a bank account from which water is being withdrawn without adding a drop. The crisis is bad for even water rich Ganga-Gomti plains as all the recharge areas have been concretised.' Venkatesh Dutta, who is heading the department of environmental science at Ambedkar University, is known as 'Waterman' because of his focus on saving rivers and water bodies. He said: 'Real estate is taking prominence over waterscapes and cities are eating up the remaining fragments of natural streams, rivers, floodplains and wetlands. There is no holistic regulation from the land revenue department. And then encroachment is rampant while groundwater abstraction is much more than the annual recharge, reuse still not done on a desired scale.' To those unable to fathom the pace at which the problem is progressing, here is an example. 'As visible in the satellite pictures, Lucknow in the early 1970's used to have a number of rivers as a large stream of networks were connected with the Gomti. There were big ponds, sometimes more than 100 hectares , holding water through the year. However, in recent satellite pictures, many of the rivers and the ponds have disappeared due to development of roads and colonies etc. Can you imagine eight rivers flowing through Lucknow besides Gomti,' Dutta said. Lucknow needs roads, housing and offices. But Dutta suggested planners should not transform rivers into an amenity for humans to use: rather the goal should be to protect the ecological integrity, improve the health of the ecosystem and enhance natural biodiversity, which would improve the quality of life of people. The government's priorities shift but what about the public? Campaigns are for the people and their future generations who are at grave risk of facing challenging times. Are we talking about it at home, schools and gram panchayats? What happened to our campaigns to save water like making every drop of water count, which included initiatives like fixing leaks and dripping taps, using water efficient fixtures and turning taps off while, say, brushing teeth. Come June 5, the public discourse of the day will be drowned in seminars and speeches. Tree plantation drives will follow. But the seriousness or rather impending danger to human lives demand daily celebration of Environment Day, which should be driven by the public as it does not figure prominently in poll agendas of political parties. The people have done it in the past – water conservation, car- pooling, tree plantation and plastic ban and can be revived without waiting for a particular day to celebrate the environment. There are people who are working for the cause at an individual level. I will mention a few here. Prabhat Mishra had started the 'Red Tape' movement on June 5, 2008 to save trees and biodiversity and has by now covered 100 villages in Etawah and 10,000 schools and over 30 colleges in the region. During the campaign, which encourages community participation, the villagers plant trees in a village on a specified date and tie red tape around the existing ones. This year, he is developing an antivirus park in a Firozabad school. Indore based Priyanshu Kamath, an IITian, describes himself as a 'waterpreneur' undertaking water body restoration projects using nature-based products. He is a recipient of the water hero award by the central Jal Shakti ministry. Qamar Rehman, distinguished professor, recalled how the air used to be crisp, water clean while the world today is laden with fossil fuel and biofuel. And there are several man-made causes like deforestation, mining, explosion, war and transport besides natural hazards. Rehman emphasised on the toxicity of plastics, particularly microplastics and chemicals used in their production. Why can't we stop the use of plastics even if the government has not completely banned it. Production depends on consumption. She quoted Albert Einstein who had once said, 'Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.' Are we willing to save ourselves or wait for the government to act? The success of government schemes depends on public participation. We are heading for an unbearably warmer planet with scarce water, harsh sun. Even to live in ultra-modern India, we need to save our natural resources.
