The butterfly exodus was there to be seen today and was the topic at many water cooler meetings and walk a talks. Hundreds, not the thousands about two years back, of black butterflies with a bluish pattern on their black wings flew past us on all roads at GCE, brushed past us, not finding us fragrant enough and were to be seen hovering in the air stream above the teak flowers in full bloom. They also fluttered over those tiny yellow flowers in the low undergrowth. A few yellow ones, looking like the satiny yellow petals of a rose and one or two greenish white ones, one dull brown one were also noticed.

How beautiful they make the campus look...like angels on high, especially when the winter sun shines on them in rays. Beautiful.

Professor Malayalamoorthi had his viva voce today...he joins the band of academics from GCE who have persevered through the years to reach this pinnacle. Our kudos to him.
