Change is the law of nature. How true this is of GCE, Salem, which sees changes every year, with new batches of freshers for the various departments, with new challenging tasks every semester, perhaps, I should also add, new approaches to teaching and learning too. We have the admission process for the first year students and it should be one big fiesta, as always. Fear, anxiety, excitement, pride and joy can all be seen in their gamut tomorrow. What a moment it is for many families...as a beloved son or daughter is sent away from the home environs into a new place of professional studies. I share in the joy of all.

Ha...thank God he keeps away the mischief makers from innocent new entrants to the college. Ragging is punishable by law, even if it is by an old student of the college !!! :)

Ragging..! oh my god..! Huge word for an innocent child from a most responsible old english lecturer [:)].

It is just an intro of how good a senior can be.

I simply appreciate your efforts in updating the events taking place in GCE salem-11. The way you described the quarters brought back our memories. its 18 long years since I passed out. And I am proud that almost 99% students have been place this year.

Hi Manivel, I understand how you must be feeling! Come over one of these days and see for yourself the changes that are visible to the eyes and some things that have not changed over the decades. GCE is indeed special to all of us. There was a student who has written about the temple behind the college in his blog - gcesalem.blogspot.com. It is a good piece of nostalgic writing and it might even be your friend! Happy reading.

Hi Lakshimi

Yes it was happy reading. We use to go there during study holidays. In our time some people used to go and discuss their issues with Lord Ganesh on a daily basis. In 1988 our folks thrown eggs on my head and they were broken leaving white and yellow yolk all over my face at 12O clock in the night. That was birth day. I took bath and went to this temple with my friends on that midnight. It is to remember this even today.

Cheer!
