Rumour mills are working overtime at GCE - one says that the Principal, Prof.P.M.Kavimani is promoted as A.D./Planning at DOTE, Chennia, the other, that Dr.RSD Wahida Banu has been selected as Registrar for a University; the last, that workers of the mess at the hostel propose to go on a strike demanding a hike in their contract salary. 
The element of surpise and unexpectedness is what marks government service and events like these are talked about in whispers...they become official only when a circular comes around and till then, it's a secret everybody knows but 'does not know'.
