ONAM CELEBRATION AT COLLEGE: A Rendezvous with culture. Onam, the joyous and vibrant festival of Kerala, has a charm that pulls everyone into its colorful embrace, and at college it transforms from a simple festival to an unforgettable memory filled with giggles, chirpy tunes, and a whole lot of prismatic flower patterns. STRIKING THE PERFECT CULTURAL CHORD. Our Onam celebration, a two-day extravaganza, was no less than a delightful burst of cultural assimilation that struck just the right amount of amusement and warmth in all of us. It was awesome , to say the least. EMBRACING TRADITIONS THROUGH CULTURAL PROGRAMS What's a festival without dance, music and a little bit of drama? Our fest started off with a bag full of cultural programs that married traditional art with youthful exuberance in the most beautiful way possible.Trust me, we witnessed some serious thespian endeavors that day. But I reckon the best surprise was the fashion show where our senoirs dressed like bamboo boys. ...

PREPARING IN YOUR POST-GRADUATION COLLEGE LIKE NEVER BEFORE....     I could not attend college classes at Mar Theophilus colleges as the practice for lab exams are ON. Nowadays I am supposed to attend the classes at Government Women's College were I was doing my Post-graduation. BEFRIENDING THE PRACTICAL EXAM BEAST: We have crammed every theory, swallowed every concept whole, and practically memorized our textbooks. yet, at the flicker of the phrase ''practical exams'', we're as jittery as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Now it was high time to break everything up and make it less frightening. DISCUSS AND DISSECT WAS OUR NEW MANTRA: The total class strength is present on these final days of preparation. We just parted into groups for the convenience of practical discussion, chemical preparation, standardization of chemicals and finally for doing experiments. The teamwork made it quite a lot easier for understanding the experiments. Now we have only 2 wee...

An Irish-Indian Educationist, MARGARET COUSINS once said that...                     " Appreciation can make a day, even change a life.            Your willingness to put in all into words is all that is necessary"  This was my greatest learning today. I realized this when I received a Pen as a gift of appreciation for doing the best role play in one of the Model class taken by our seniors . The simple act helped me gain confidence and motivation to perform things without hesitation. I will carry this same learning of Appreciating others because I can foresee that a simple appreciation can change the lives of many...

IT ALL STARTS WITH A SMALL STEP...👣               Its the very First day of my teaching career and a step closer to my dreams.

Those smiles were pleasant and will always be in my heart.  Here, begins t...
