Being a Management student, I had absolutely no idea about what pol sci even encompassed. I had every conviction that this course would be one of those feared ones where you just sit through class, your head crouched, counting the seconds and avoiding eye contact with the teacher just so he wouldn't ask you a question you couldn't answer. Or one in which you just marvel at how terribly boring someone can get. But well, things turned out different. And not just different, very very different. This wasn't a course, it was an experience. I am sure that even if it was primordial history, this class would have been fun. I mean, we did of course learn about Pol Sci, but we learnt something grander. We learned how to think. How to not take anything for given. How to revisit every belief we hold. How to look at the world from an eye unaware of bias and preset notions. And in that, we learned how things really work. In that, we learned about ourselves. About people. And that is the greatest lesson we could learn.
Also, as much as Sir Naush has treated us with his energetic voice and radical perspectives, this class couldn't have been near as fun as it was if it weren't for each and every student. Everyone was so engaging and interactive. Thank you all for being so wonderful. And thank you all for teaching me about life.
Finally, I was thanking Sir Naush for giving us an experience we would have never expected here at LUMS. But also  NOT thanking him for this experience, because we will find none like this here, and every will land below our high expectations now.
