My eyes struck on to a beautiful little one in the pond.  It look much prettier than anything in the campus.  It raised its head up looking everyone everywhere in Theophilus.  It was sunkissed,that the rays of light touched the petals and made it glow.  The leafs floating had dew drops which magnified the sunshine.  The small fishes in the pond were under the shady green leaves admiring the beauty of the violet one.  And all this violet one was a 'water lily' !!! “Light up the darkness"    However we all should be like the violet one who is looking forward with great  confidence and perseverance absorbing all the light of knowledge. The light of knowledge will bring us out from the darkness of fear to a world of enlightenment.

On January 5th  M.ed student teacher Revathy gave a discussion regarding computer assisted instruction (CAI). The terminologies related to CAI was introduced. Computer assisted learning involves learner and computer which enhances the self-directed learning of the learner. The merits of CAI  are immediate response, ensure individual attention and enables drill and practice.

The day begined with Maya ma'am class and she explained about the competency and it's various types. We heard new terminology like paradigm shift and auto suggestion. Paradigm shift is a change from one way of thinking to another. Auto suggestion means motivating ourself to attain self confidence. We had a discussion on whether teaching is a art or science? And then had a talk on how to build a rapo between teachers and students. Our beloved principal gave a warm welcome to the M.Ed interns came from Department of Education, Thycaud. They are here for around 15 days as part of their academics. Four people came to our college as a part of internship.

It is the last blog of this year, so I wish to share the new year eve of Fort Kochi, a charming seaside area and the western part of the Kochin city. The immoral beauty of fort Kochi lies in the old monuments, the churches, the beaches and so on. The Christmas and New year celebrations can be seen eminently, where the public hotspots are decorated and each and every houses are embellished with decors and illumination lights.  Fort Kochi is soaked in festive mood even though the carnival rally and burning of Pappanji is dropped due to the pandemic. It's worth visiting Fort Kochi during this season.  Cheers to a new year and it's a chance for us to believe and move forward with more strength and hope. Here I'm sharing a video which illustrates the new year events of Fort Kochi.  Happy New year to all my dear teachers and friends !!!!!!💗.

" One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things ."~ Henry Miller The Christmas days become yet another beautiful memory because of ' Swargam '.  As the name suggests it's really a heaven, 'Swargam' is a restaurant situated in Koppanalil Road, Kumbalam, Ernakulam. It's filled with golden lights and hanging decors made of coconut shells. There are hot spots to take selfies. The Swargam beef and Swargam chicken are the highlights. Also the kulfi store adds more taste to the eternal vibe. Beside in ' Swargam' there is Vembanad lake where stone benches and walkway are properly maintained. We can see the beautiful sun set and the flickering of the lake water that flows. The concert arranged over there make us relax and it's soothing. Sitting on the stone bench, hearing music, eating a kulfi, seeing the lights, the breeze and the lake view is a magnificent feel that brings serenity and joy. 

On the way to Kochi, we decided to visit some devotional places in search of serenity.  First we went to Parumala Church. Parumala is a small stretch of land on the shores of the river Pampa. Parumala church is the tomb church of Saint Geevarghese Mar Gregorios or Parumala Thirumeni. He died on 2 November 1902 at the age of 54. The funeral was conducted at Parumala on 3 November 1902 in the presence of thousands of people and hundreds of priests. Many testimonies to the saintly intercession of Mar Gregorios made Parumala Church and the tomb a centre of pilgrimage. In 1947 Mar Gregorios of blessed memory was declared a saint by the then Catholicos of the church, His Holiness Baselios Geevarghese II. Secondly we went to St. George Orthodox Valiya Pally  which is a prominent church that belongs to the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. This church is situated beside the Puthuppally - Changanassery road about a kilometre from the Puthuppally junction, on the eastern ban...

23 December will be always a memory to remember. It was the very first Christmas celebration at MTTC. All Physical Science student teachers had a uniformity in their dress. The student teacher's were engaged in coordinating various Christmas events and some of the people were busy with the last minute trial for the Christmas programmes.   All of a sudden we planned to set a dance  and we practiced during the lunch break. Finally we performed on the stage and we enjoyed performing. Also we won second prize for the Christmas card making competition and we got surprising gifts.  After the Christmas events, we cut a cake and wished Merry Christmas to each other and said goodbye 🫂.
