Our journey with We The Women started with one tweet<\/a> from our\u00a0Dean, Amith Prabhu<\/a>. A tweet where he suggested\u00a0Barkha Dutt,<\/a>\u00a0the curator of this event that there are five girls and one boy who can volunteer for this event. He was talking about me and my friends from Class of 2018 at SCoRe.<\/p>\n

We The Women\u00a0(#WeTheWomen<\/a>) was a two day participatory, open to all forum for women<\/a> that offered \u2018Break Free\u2019 48 hours to bring together diverse view points and a celebration of all that women have achieved. It was curated by renowned and India\u2019s only Emmy nominated journalist Barkha Dutt. The forum talked about women from various fields like sports, art, music and films.<\/p>\n

Two days before the event, we met the management team and they briefed us on our respective work. They gave us the permission to play it by the ear and take decisions based on the situations. The six of us were part of the hospitality team and we worked with two gentlemen named\u00a0Avinash Kalla<\/a>\u00a0and Jameel Khan. We were in charge of receiving the delegates at the airport, assisting them to their\u00a0Ola<\/a>\u00a0cabs, receiving them at the hotel and assisting them to their respective rooms. This wasn\u2019t as easy as it sounds.<\/p>\n

\"We

On the first day, we had to manage 35 delegates with just four cabs. We had to organise this in such a way that none of the delegates had to wait at the airport. And thankfully, we pulled this off with great team work and co-ordination. But, on another note, all the delegates were quite nice to talk to and they didn\u2019t fuss at all if they had to wait for five minutes. And five minutes because, at times they took that much time to come to the pick-up point from the parking lot.<\/p>\n

\"We

On the second day of We The Women, the situation was little easy as we had 15 cabs at our service. I was little too excited as along with the hospitality responsibilities, I had to assist the captain of the\u00a0Indian Women\u2019s Cricket Team<\/a>,\u00a0Mithali Raj<\/a>. I had to be her shadow and being a sportsperson myself, I couldn\u2019t have asked for more. Right from receiving her at the airport to taking her to the green room at the venue to assisting her back to the hotel, were my responsibilities. She was real fun to be with.<\/p>\n

\"we

In between all these work responsibilities, I also heard celebrities like\u00a0Karan Johar<\/a>,\u00a0Ekta Kapoor\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0Smriti Irani\u00a0<\/a>talk about their view points on government and films (link<\/a>). I also listened to\u00a0Alia Bhatt<\/a>\u00a0talk about various issues with Barkha Dutt (video link<\/a>). I also heard Saxophone Subbhlaxmi and Ginni Mahi. Later got a chance to converse with both of them. Meeting\u00a0Lt. Col Sufiya Qureshi<\/a>\u00a0who is the first woman officer to have led an Army contingent at a multinational military exercise was a great experience (I have a picture with her too, but she requested me to not upload it), (video link<\/a>). It was wonderful to talk to IAS officer of 1986 batch in Haryana cadre, Virener Kundu. We talked about badminton and sports. Last but not the least, 83-year-old\u00a0Chandro Tomar<\/a>, a sharpshooter from Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh, who is more famously known as Revolver Dadi took my utmost respect. At this age, she has achieved what most of us can only dream to achieve (video link<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"We

Lastly,\u00a0Farhan Akhtar<\/a>\u00a0closed the show with his electrifying music and songs.<\/p>\n

This event was a great practice for a fresher like me who has had no experience of organising events. All, I can say is I\u2019m glad that our Dean reached out to Barkha Dutt and organised this opportunity for my friends and me.<\/p>\n
