Field Notes - 2

Date Visited: 15th August, 2012 (Independence Day)

After the flag hoisting and other performances program:

  • Students become very friendly and start playing by running after each other and teasing each other by names.

  • Attracted by the camera that was being used by me - Get themselves clicked and one of the boys clicked me with them as well.

  • One of the students, fascinated by the camera and interested in photography - possessed digital camera himself - bought by his brother who studies in college - didn't get it to school though (hard to believe but if true from where could he manage to buy a digital caMERA) 
  • Students also carry mobile phones and one of them carried an ipod nano - responsibility is held by the students themselves as the possession of electronic items by students at school is prohibited
  • Boys and girls very friendly with each other - tease each other by names.
  •  Have teenage relationships which was earlier denied - talk and eye contact. Friends call each other by opposite partners' names in  a group - girls and boys came and introducedcme to their 'lover boyfriends'.
  • Introduced me their other friends as well.
  • Old students and alumni were present on the occasion - last year pass outs were familiar and friendly with the present students - i was introduced to the old students as well by the present students.
  • Students get their photos clicked with their teachers.

  •  They apply the national flag's powdered colors to each other
  • Have unity in terms of hiding and using things like the electronic devices.

Glad that you were able to spend time with the students - you might like to discuss your research topic with Anna and consider how you could mentally 'frame' your photos so that you can use them to say something about your subject which is relationships - can your photos talk about the relationships between the students, between teachers and students etc. Try to catch short snippets of conversation between the different groups which could be part of the the final presentation.
