Our department symposium which almost proved its success even before it started, showed its awesome terror with 822 participants from colleges of tamilnadu and other states. The event witnessed the highest ever number of participants in the history of our college. We had eleven events and two hours in morning and evening for the inaugaral and the valedictory respectively. But despite that, with the efforts of all the members put together, we managed the event very well.
The activities were going on one side in a full fledged manner. But one thing which really made all of the other college participants is the hospitality provided for them. Not even a single person from our college had a single piece of cake or food the whole day. All the events took place with small comedies and professionalism which will be explained by the respective event co-ordinators.
The event was praised by all and most remained silent as they were left with no words to express the feel which they had. CSE rocked the day. We had Yo-Yo from Big FM who stole the audience with his own style in judging the adzap and he also conducted the informal event and yesterday they also had a 4 minutes on-air about our symposium. THANKS BIG minded friends. About godmother….sorry..i’m left with no words to describe her great attitude and her approach on that day… simply amazing!!
Telemedicine and e –health is one of the fields which are in boom. And currently we are very much involved with this after a brilliant staff development program organized by our department. Now we are on the go to do our project in it. The project has been proposed and mostly in a week or so we will start working on the modules to develop the project as fast as we can under the guidance of our godmother. There are lots of projects to be done by engineers to contribute for the field of medicine. Will keep posting the latest workings now and then. This is one of the best ways to serve for the welfare of the society.
Farewell is over yesterday. I posted few of the happenings from the college itself. We went for the thanks giving at the end to know the timing when we can start the farewell. There we had the chance to know about all the menaces created by our seniors. They did it brilliantly and we had the fear that we should make the farewell also to be a great and a memorable one.
We started the farewell by 4.30 with a dance performance by our seniors. Amazing performance! Our events for our seniors started off with a song “June pona” from unnale unnale by second and third year students. It started off with a bang creating the first as well as the best impression. Then was the hip-hop style dance performance by second and third year students. It was brilliant one. Then was the mock awards session which I feared the most. But that came out as one of the best events of the day. It was a great team effort by the girls’ team.
Then we had our shortest variety performance which got good response. It was followed by the games which also gave lots of fun for the seniors. Then we gave the gifts which we specially made for each and every senior. It is a photo frame with collage of all the seniors’ photos with the person’s photo at the centre(as above). Everybody liked it very much and thanked us for the gift.
Then they sung “Mustafa Mustafa “which added to the feel prevailing around.
When working for the farewell of our seniors, I get fast forwarded to our farewell and was not in my world. Yesterday, my mind was half gone by seeing our Godmother’s face which was not the usual joyful one. Each and every staff was in a SOGA mood only. One of our senior professors cried so much that it added to godmother’s sadness too.
We came out of the auditorium and we took photos with all our seniors and were looking out for ways to stay in touch with our seniors. It was then our godmother called our team and started speaking to us. It was more than a head of the department. We never saw her as our head of the department. She added to my emotional quotient by her kind and truthful words.
I couldn’t control myself and I burst out into tears. I could not explain the feel for which I cried. It was a mixture of feelings of leaving the seniors, the fast forwarded thoughts of our farewell and above all the words of our godmother. The love she has on each and every one of us is indescribable. Samba was not silent. He went and told godmother that I got out of my E.Q (emotional quotient). It was the time when I just calmed down; samba came and told me that godmother is calling me. I knew that I would cry the moment I start talking to her. She just asked me “what happened?” and just as I expected I once again broke out into tears. I couldn’t explain why I was crying. She and maheswari mam (one of our senior professors who is mentioned previously in the post) tried to make me feel comfortable and I came to have the dinner. I couldn’t eat and I was just looking at my plate. I just kept it and went to help in serving. Totally it was like the day started with lots of fun and excitement but the end of the day made my heart heavier and I could still feel the heaviness.
Please seniors, keep in touch!! And when I think of my situation in our farewell, I’m left with no words to explain.
Just 3 more days left for our start of the north tour along with all the members of our computer science family of our college. All the members are very much excited and the last minute preparations have slowly started now.
We, boys as usual still say, “still threeee days left” and hoping to complete the preparations on 20th for the tour on 21st of this month. Girls are going on with phases of purchase and i hope nearly 5 phases of purchase will surely be there leaving half of the shop and their purses empty.
We are going to travel straight to agra and travel places around delhi, shimla, kulu and manali. And the happiest news is that i got my new digicam to share the best places with you people when i come back. So will be back on 1st of july and give the full packed details of the most expected tour!!
The best thing is that we are accompanied by our godmother for our tour and hope we will keep our crime rates at the lowest level possible.
“Machi get that Xerox from that girl da…it has the last few year’s placement papers of MNCs”, “Nee mattum padichiru…” These are the most frequently heard words nowadays. Placement is the word lying in the background.
We are going to have our on campus recruitments from March 17th. All the students, especially girls are preparing at a pace where shoaib akthar would fear to lose his form.
We have lots to study like aptitude, verbal, analytical and beyond these the preparation of curriculum vitas and getting ready the answers for the frequently asked questions.
Though interview is the impression which we create in those 10 minutes to make them believe that we will fit the job and responsibility that is given to us, it takes really a lot of preparation for those 10 minutes.
Lots of opportunities are awaiting and all of us are waiting to make best use of it. April will tell the mindset of all the students. By April we hope that all our friends will surely get placed. We have really good training sessions guided by our favorite GOD MOTHER. Thanks to the college for making these opportunities available and with all prayers to HIM to get all of US placed…I will meet u all in another post.
