2. 1. A Design Problem I faced
 The hostel room chairs-
 They are the ones used in marriage functions.
 Their back support is not designed to enhance
focus. Instead they are tilted backwards which
encourages resting posture.
 So the chair which plays a crucial role in
maintaining our posture is not delivering its
secondary purpose i.e. the attentive posture.

3. The Solution
 We should use proper chairs like those in our
library.
 They give the perfect balance between
comfort and attention.

4. 2. Problem from an Industry
 Design of RedMi Note 3
 Too Slim to have a grip. Slips when
clicking a photo.
 Texture of the phone is very smooth
making it harder to have proper grip
 Thus it cannot be used without a phone
cover
 Rubber covers are also not available.
Only shiny metal color covers
 They are again slippery when wet.

5. 3. Design problems around campus
 In Kapili Hostel –
 The Third floor is divided into four parts-
 They are separated by two bridges
 The bridge is attached to balcony of a room on both sides.
 But we cannot go through that bridge since it disturbs the student in
the room
 So we have to go down to second floor and again go up to the other
side on third floor which is very cumbersome.
