Profoundly caring and observant, Parisha senses feelings quietly with compassion. She drives people at the same velocity she takes up to near the goal, slowing down to match the pace of others but pulling them up in time to see their achievements with hers.

When you ask, “Will I mess this up?” Parisha replies, “You will, but that’s okay, because that’s learning.” This wisdom of not fearing struggle but taking it up to strive towards what one wants with passion and regulation is Parisha’s way of paving the way endlessly. But even beyond her go-getter personality, she is warm like the coffee she functions on, lively like the sunflowers she adores, and intricately put together like the paintings she makes. Parisha has a way of making subtle things into meaningful ideas of happiness, like the sky she saw on the way home, the cat on the pavement who purred, or the stars she gazes at on a walk with music she syncs her life’s rhymes with.

Charismatic, professional, and determined with thoughtful ideas, seamless management, and the ability to lead with togetherness Parisha is the apt convener for Izhaar. Teenager Parisha, who fell in love with and formed a dream for psychology, is proud of the Parisha who will now imprint Izhaar with novelty in approaches while making the safe space for mental health to be recognised furthermore.

Charvi is truly an old soul in a modern body—someone who finds peace in ghazals and timeless old music, yet adapts effortlessly to today’s fast-paced world. She resonates deeply with every culture she encounters, carrying respect and openness at the core of her personality. With a heart that values traditions and a mind that embraces progress, she strikes a rare balance between retro charm and contemporary confidence. Her ability to respect everyone’s boundaries while still forming meaningful connections makes her stand out. Charvi’s presence feels like a bridge between eras—gentle, graceful, and grounded in values, yet refreshingly modern in her outlook. You can always find her welcoming over a coffee date, something she eagerly looks forward to!

She is someone who brings together dedication, calmness, and compassion in everything she does. Her hardworking nature ensures that responsibilities are handled with commitment and excellence, while her cool-headed approach makes her easy to work with even in challenging situations. She is kind, approachable, and supportive of her peers, which makes collaboration natural and effective.
Brimming with empathy, compassion and an attentive ear, she is as dependable as they come. As the saying goes, “A friend in need is a friend indeed,” and our Co-Convenor truly embodies that spirit. She is someone you can wholeheartedly rely on, whether to share your worries, your dreams, or anything your heart longs to express.

Some people emit light at all times to help people never move towards darkness; Kriti is one of those people. You can count on Kriti to always have your back, she is generous in a way that isn’t burdening or ill layered.

Kriti always accomplishes or succeeds by the sheer work she puts in, never shying away from responsibilities, challenges, or novel changes that are much needed for growth. There is tranquillity in the words she pours for people around her, cheering them on till they are nothing but high spirits. If you ever receive a thought-provoking question in the middle of a random conversation, followed up by an equally random situation, just know it’s Kriti, always inquisitive and eager to learn with childlike enthusiasm, but the sensibility of an adult. The conversations she strikes make you reflect and think, something needed for betterment and achievements.

All this, witty humour, fun facts, anime suggestions, and an unwavering trail of creativity is what the new session's Co-Convener of Izhaar, Kriti, brings to the table, curating a space as welcome as her personality.

Celebrating Amurta Kaushal, our Convenor for the last session, whose energy and ideas shaped Izhaar this year. 🌸

Her warm aura and radiant energy made everyone feel welcomed, while her innovative game ideas brought fun and creativity to every space she touched. Under her guidance, events didn’t just happen, they became successful experiences that people still remember fondly. With her digi cam in hand, she was always capturing moments with the same passion and flair with which she created them. Her creativity was everywhere, she always found unique ways to inspire and express. Her outfits were just as beautiful as her enthusiasm to contribute and lead the society. And of course, what stood out the most was her ability to motivate people, encouraging everyone to take initiative, step up with confidence, and believe in themselves.

Thank you, Amurta, for filling Izhaar with warmth, ideas, and inspiration. You have left behind memories that will always stay with us. 💗

As this session comes to an end, we bid farewell to Izhaar's Co-convenor, Yuvakshi Vig, whose presence has been nothing short of extraordinary for Izhaar. 🌸

She led the team with enthusiasm and empathy, often serving as a safe space for its members. Her values and actions always aligned with those of Izhaar's, and her creative ideas brought a new spirit of innovation. Her presence made the room light up and brought joy and smiles to everyone's faces. Throughout her tenure, her approachability and the way she cheered everyone on encouraged all the members to be themselves and work with grace. Her sense of responsibility and calm fostered positivity, often inspiring the members to work a little harder every time!

As she signs off from this role, she leaves behind not just a legacy but a spirit of togetherness and joy that will continue to define Izhaar. Izhaar's going to miss her big-sister energy and her selfless dedication to our society. 💗
