(You can easily see the difference between basic aspiration and the steps)

basic aspiration?

12. Now that we can distinguish between basic aspiration and the path to fulfill it,
find out what would be appropriate if your “favourite” path is closed:
Be unhappy about it?
Find an alternate path?
Examples:
• I wanted to go to the US for my degree, but I was forced to take admission
here by my parents. My dreams are shattered
• I did not get the branch of my choice. My motivation to study is gone
• I did not get the room mate I wanted. I am unhappy

*Learning about each other. May occur between
freshers or between freshers and older students, etc.
*Ragger tries to humiliate you. Why?

You should be also clear about the following:
*If one senior has mis-behaved, it does not mean all the
seniors are like that. Similarly, if one of the freshers has
blamed a senior batch based on one incident, it does not
mean that all the freshers have blamed an entire batch.
Making friends { means and ends (i.e., methods and goals)
*The aim of a senior student in ragging might be { he is
trying to make friends with you. But then he does not
know how to?
