The idea of working as a team seems to be something that’s so significant, we picture each
person in the team, working in perfect synchronization with the other, helping the other
person out with their weaknesses and giving them an opportunity to showcase and exercise
their strengths.
Despite this being a thing that seems to stand out, we unconsciously form a co-player
equation with the people we meet in our everyday life. It could be our classmates or
colleagues, or even someone as simple as your own pet, where we unconsciously read into
the opposite party’s body language, needs and wants and in most cases, work in a
synchronized manner to achieve the task at hand!
We, the students of E1-4 were handed this exciting opportunity to work as team and dress
one of the team members up, as a superhero. The task was meant to be accomplished only
using newspaper, some tape and a pair of scissors.
Our team comprised 6 members: Akash, Nimesh, Manavi, Sadiq, Shashank and Shweta.
Nimesh volunteered to be the model on whom the design for this costume would be
assembled.
We started working on the design from the bottom, where pleats for the tunic was made
using newspapers, which was folded into numerous folds, and several of these newspaper
units were put together using some packing tape. Once the pleats were tightly secured, we
moved to the sleeves, which were made using twisted newspaper and some pleated
newspaper again.

For the head, a band was made, in the form of a halo rolling the newspaper into a thick roll
of sorts, which was then folded around the head.
For our final touch, newspaper pieces were rolled to form shackles on either of the arms,
and were again secured using some packaging tape.

Here’s what our final design looked like:

All of us were thoroughly excited to share the inspiration behind this, with our batch mates
and our teach-in charge.
When we had the chance to, Akash and Shashank explained the idea off which our
superhero was designed.
Our superhero is known as Curious Joe.
His most prominent feature is the question mark which is very close to his heart, and stands
to signify the uncertainties in our society. This can be about absence of a sense of direction
in the youth of this country, or the growing rate of corruption and foul play throughout our
country.
It also encompasses, at its very core the the fear, absolute fright of the judgements a young
person is put through and how every aspect of an individual is out under the microscope
and judged, with zero compassion.

It could be something as menial as their dressing sense or haircut or something more

significant like the size of their body, their way of talking, their sexual preferences, the kind
of food they like to eat, etc. The list can be endless.

The twirls on their the hand represents the shackles of society which restricts the common
man to enjoy the joys of life and forces him do what’s socially acceptable rather than doing
whatever it is that they wish to do.
But our hero’s super power is their smile, through all the pain and through the chaos they
choose to smile. Knowing that this world is not perfect and not everything can be under our
control, and that people around us might not always be cooperative and supportive and
might pass judegments for whatever choices we decide to make.
But a smile can change everything. It spreads positivity around us. They believe in changing
the world, one smile at a time.
