GCE Salem is absolutely stunning in wet weather. The trees are glistening with rain drops, grass grows lush everywhere and tiny flowers in yellow, muave, purple and pink are blossoming on small shrubs. Last month, there was an exodus of butterflies of breathtaking colours from someplace and GCE happened to be a transit point. They came in wave after wave, delicate and colourful. They must have been in thousands. I remembered something that I had read somewhere - that one butterfly's flight can cause climatic changes in lands far across oceans and continents. Wondered what this mass movement signified.
College is getting networked.Will this usher in any important change for the department of English? Maybe, we will get a computer before Professor Parveen Kumar retires.
GCE Salem is celebrating its Alumni Day on Sunday, 25.12.2005. The first year girls are staging a skit in English. Probably, for the first time ever in the annals of GCE Salem. Hope the boys dont boo them down, simply because they dont understand English. But then, it is an action packed play..should do the trick..let me hope for the best...

Salem is getting more and more pleasant with the weather remaining cool and the sun behind the clouds. There was a gory accident on the Hasthampatti road today. Obviously, a cyclist was knocked down by a bus. The glistening blood spoilt the day for me and I am yet to get over it.
Vijay, the prolific writer from Metallurgy, II year, came bounding to tell me that he has created a blog for his writings. Hope he gets a wider readership than the one he has been getting from his teacher.
One of the tamil medium students of the first year came up to tell me that he could not understand what he was supposed to do with the tasks in the English text. Hope he gets over his reservations and understands the skill based activities that are so different from their school work in English.
Sri was bubbling with joy at the small talk she had shared with her friend's father.
The final year students are having a whale of a time with plenty of free hours. Saw Sridhar at the Central Gate; he is always there for a quick bite at the shop there or the canteen. Heard the college canteen is serving good stuff in a good ambience.
