Parallel Projections – My USec Journey

By Sweekar Mehta, D.Y. Patil School of Architecture, Pune (Z330)

Many people are fascinated by the idea of having a past life or experiencing simultaneous existences in a parallel universe. These glimpses into alternate realities offer a unique way to help us understand ourselves and enable us to move toward our goals.

Being a USec during the 58th year of {Re}-Evolution was a transformative experience. I gathered a bucket full of memories — from my early days as a delegate to becoming the Unit Designee, then the Unit Secretary, and finally handing over responsibilities to the 59th Council.

I am glad to share my experience and urge every USec to remain faithful to their duty, maintaining a healthy relationship not just with their college but also with the Executive and General Councils of NASA India.

I deeply appreciate the 58th Council for their exceptional coordination and management. I respected my duties, worked devotedly for NASA India while balancing academics, and I hope that present USecs will continue to help the Association run smoothly. Work not only to win trophies but also with enthusiasm to learn — and to help others learn.

It was an honor to work as a USec, and I truly appreciate the contributions of our Zone President, Divyank Karnavat, and look forward to the same commitment from the present Zone 3 President, Sonam Kumar. I also extend my heartfelt regards to all the USecs from my zone who stood by me throughout this amazing journey, and for their support and coordination in zonal activities all year long.

Holding this post taught me that it is never easy to manage academics and NASA India work together — but it certainly teaches you time management and leadership. It is truly fun being part of NASA India. You meet people from all over the country, get inspired, and learn immensely.

I hope the present USecs work with great zeal and take this year of Parallel Projections to new heights of success. Wishing you all the best for the year ahead!
