Khushi Mohunta

Waist Number 42

Bullying is a chemical reaction, and silent spectators the catalysts.

“The future of our society permits acceptance as cards. As credit cards are to banks and balances, waist cards are the new credit cards to societal acceptance and equality.” It starts right from the birth cradle – the way you perceive, judge, accept, or question. The school premises is not only a place where children learn etiquettes of life, it is wrapped up in a dual shade. A house of wisdom and learning for the curious ones, while a place of bullying, mocking and casting hoaxes on others for the bullies. But, as they say, “Patience has an endpoint.” Certainly, you cannot deal and go through all those outbursts of bullying, pangs of teasing, seclusion, and alienation with you every random day. It ain’t a ritual and neither are you a deity that it is ought to be worshipped on you every day. Then there comes this time where you are in a fix, a dilemma indeed – to speak up for yourself or choose to go with the flow, the flow that society sails you in.

I have taught and interacted with Khushi for one whole semester. She is very diligent and sincere. She engaged with the reading materials and put sincere efforts in writing her term papers. As someone who is eager to learn and strives to get better, she would always work on the feedback. She is also a sensitive and thoughtful person and her attitude to work and life is reflected in her writings.

Ms. Khushi Mohunta was a former student of B.A. Liberal Arts & Humanities (Hons.) at Jindal School of Liberal Arts and Humanities. I have taught Khushi over her three years at the university and have found her an engaging and hardworking student. She has also been part of the student publicity team at JSLH and has shown a very admirable work ethic, as well as creativity and skill in creating relevant and engaging content. As can be seen in her resume, Khushi has demonstrated a high level of academic performance. Also, as part of professional development, she has interned with social organizations and completed a broad range of activities. I feel that she is an excellent candidate for any organization looking for a talented, well rounded, and hardworking addition to their team.

I have known Khushi as a student in my course on digital anthropology, and one thing that immediately stands out for me is Khushi's willingness to take on leadership roles and coordinate class communication and activities. What further complements her leadership abilities is that she works well with her peers in a collaborative manner. As a student, Khushi is hard-working, keen to learn, and receptive to different points of views. She is an effective communicator, with excellent writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills. Her ability to create connections between texts and theoretical concepts with everyday, lived experiences is appreciable. It is always fulfilling to work with students, like Khushi, and I am certain that she will further enhance her positive qualities as she takes on new roles and responsibilities outside of university life.

Khushi worked with us for a period of three months as a features writer. Extremely happy with her work and quick turnaround on tasks. She’s extremely diligent and quick to learn. A great resource on any team! When it comes to her writing, I loved her way of putting her thoughts into words. Very precise, clear, and easy to read. She adapted very well to what the magazine required and was always up to any task assigned. Wish you all the best for your endeavours and hope to have you back on the team when time allows. Thanks for all the great work Khushi!
