Graduation Day 2012 - what were my favourite moments? 

NCC boys focussed on decorating the thali of water with white and pink lotus flowers.

An elderly PG student going up with tears in his eyes to receive the degree.

My UG grads with wide smiles in their eyes and lips.

The co-ordination and sense of responsibility that the different committees showed.

A sick graduand being tended to by his juniors.

The gracious decoration of the halls , supervised by Prof. Christy.

Prof.Chandrasekar at the registration desk trying to get the last minute additions and deletions perfected for the seating and degree distribution committees.

Girls and boys capturing the post graduation ceremony moments with their friends and parents.

A student who was with me through the long hours of guiding the graduands to the dais.

The national anthem that gave me goosebumps.

The procession anthem ringing loud and clear.

Parents who beamed with pride and joy.

The brisk reading of names by Prof.Kalpana.

Prof.Perumal wondering aloud on the mike if there was some confusion in the order of names. 

Prof.Arun's perfect co-ordination in sending the graduands to the front. 

A perfect audio system - hired, of course.

More than all, the feeling of relief the moment the ceremony was over - the heat was indescribable. 

When are we going to get a new, well furbished, cool hall that can comfortably hold the seven hundred odd students gowned up in their robes in a very shortly imminent  two years from now?
