note

am honoured to present before our readers the 6th

Jyotirgamaya Annual, the college Annual magazine,

which records the achievements, accomplishments,

joys and successes of Holy Cross College family, of

yet another academic year. We consider it to be our

blessing from the Almighty that we got another

opportunity to educate the young minds and

hearts, nurturing them with attributes of moral and

ethical values, which are so very essential to enable

them accept and win over new challenges.

With an aim for holistic education, we have always

encouraged the students to undertake academic

and co-cultural activities, the rich experiences of

which they share with you, ranging from their joyful

participation at the academic and departmental

fronts to their self-motivated social and community

services right to the enthralling and enchanting

moments of TEJAS 2016 that they have organized

and participated in.

The present Year book shows how dedicatedly the

students have penned down their intense excite-

ments, they wanted you to cherish on their behalf.

And we, on our part, have tried our best to

accommodate the maximum that we could, in this

year book, yet, respecting the limited periphery of

the same.

We also have a plethora of thoughts presented by

the faculty and staff of the college, over a range of

social, political, spiritual, psychological and cultural

issues which we feel are important to be addressed

both for the benefit of the students and the society

to reflect upon. Besides, as teachers and trainers of

the young souls, we have sincerely approached

every issue, sometimes through novel perspectives

and at times, paving them for future references.

The Yearbook tends to give a wider and an in-depth

glimpse of Holy Cross College family. It presents to

our readers the detailed picture of the various

cultural, academic, co-curricular and sports related

activities that were organized and successfully held

in the campus as well as outside the college

premises. The readers will be delighted to know the

vast and diverse capabilities and achievements of

our students and faculty that has been presented

and applauded in the yearbook. I am sure the

readers will take pride for being so closely associated

with Holy Cross College, for the rich tradition it

portrays and the utmost moral values it upholds.

I believe our readers will enjoy the pictorial glance of

the success of Holy Cross College and its journey

over the last year. The chronicles would enable our

readers to re-live the step by step endeavors and

journey of our college and, in turn, cheering with us

for every small and big happening, that has added

to our glory and grandeur.

I sincerely thank each earnest hand that has

contributed in making this Jyotirgamaya Yearbook a

reality - especially, the editorial team, the photogra-

phers, the designers, and the contributors. Special

thanks to Fr. Emmanuel the Principal of the college,

for his unconditional support, love, blessings, enthu-

siasm and for encouraging us in all our endeavors.

May the Almighty God bless each one of us and

make the reading of the Yearbook a joyful experi-

ence and an inspiration for one and all.

Thank you.

Ms. Moumita Dey.

ESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

(3(3(3

The birth of Holy Cross College has been inevitable in a way and necessitated by the fact that numerous English

Medium Schools in the state of Tripura had come of age and turned out many College ready students. They had

to migrate to the metros in the country in search of English Medium Higher Education. Responding to the need

of the hour, in consultation with some prominent representatives of the people of Agartala, Holy Cross Fathers

ventured into Higher Education in the year 2009. Now the College has multiple undergraduate programs like

BA, BSc, B.Com, BBA and B.Ed. The past 8 years of the history of HC College reveals that the College has been

expanding and moving forward with a steady yet phenomenal speed. The growth of the student population,

the number of Asst. Professors, other non-teaching faculty as well as the numerous activities and programs at

the College also reveal the growth and expansion.

At present the College has almost 800 students, about 80 members in the teaching and non-teaching faculty.

The credit for this phenomenal growth goes to the dedicated and talented management, faculty as well as the

good will of the Govt. of Tripura, Tripura University (A Central University) as well as the general public of

Agartala. The persistent hard work as well as the passion and determination of the management and staff to

be significant leaders in the field of Higher Education gave the result that is only natural. Today, Holy Cross

College is clearly recognized as an excellent institution of Higher Education in the state of Tripura as well as in

the northeast region of India.

The College Annual is a testimony to all this. It has given a proper platform to our students and faculty to give

expression to their writing talents, besides creating a colourful mosaic of the life at the College through various

events and activities. I am sure; the readers of this College Annual will come to know about Holy Cross College,

Agartala a little more by perusing through the pages ofthis College Annual. I wish the readers a very interesting,

informative and educative reading ofthis Annual magazine. I thank the editors ofthis College Annual, as well

as all the students and faculty who have contributed towards its publication. May Holy Cross College continue

its forward march and continue to grow to be an excellent institution of Higher Education, not only in Tripura

and northeast, but also in the country turning out graduates who are persons of enviable character and socially

responsible. May God bless Holy Cross College and all the readers of'Jyotirgamaya'.

MESSAGE FROM THE

ACADEMIC DEAN

cF>)tV. (^^y^ta^D-^utxA

Some people believe that success is 'luck'and for some it is a 'choice'. The foundation of success goes largely

unnoticed because success is mostly built in small and ordinary stages. World always notices major

accomplishments and recognizes it quickly. Yet, while the accomplishments are happening and the hard work is

being executed, it rarely draws any attention. If we only focus on the finished product and if only that draws our

attention then it would appear that success is available only to the lucky few. However, the success story behind

the scene is completely different. Always remember, the overnight successful person who appeared to be in the

right spot at the right time worked unnoticed late into the night, year after year to get there. Unfortunately

enough, attention is always focused on the finished work and the comment that we all are habituated and like

to hear is - he/she/the institution is lucky.

In reality, success and accomplishments are not restricted to those who are lucky, only. They are very much

available to those who choose to be focused, honest, disciplined, persistent, committed, positive and most

importantly enthusiastic. Yes, luck can play a role in success sometimes, but luck isonly significant for those who

choose to turn opportunity (that might have come luckily) into success. Our approach to life is a choice (Mark

Norton). Therefore, we need to make a conscious effort to make success a chosen way of our life. So CHOICE is

the first step in achieving success in anything. The power of our choices, our feelings remains ours, only ours.

I strongly believe that we all have made a conscious effort to choose to be part of Holy Cross College, Agartala,

an institution that promotes team spirit. It is great to be a part of a team which tries hard to bring out the talents

of students, staff and everyone related to the team. Holy Cross College has always been striving to keep itself

ahead of the competitive world and the results are now for everyone to see. But remember, this success is not

only the result of luck but the result of the choices made by the leaders of the institution and those related to it.

This college yearbook clearly says it all. The most significant role of Holy Cross College Yearbook is to inform,

engage and inspire a diverse readership which includes students, parents, members of faculty, staff, benefactors,

friends and well wishers of the college and thus the readers can have an honest portrait of the college. I am sure

that Holy Cross College will scale even greater heights in the years to come and serve many more in the society.

Human beings have been placed in this world in order that they may develop and expand their

talents and capabilities to their fullest extent. If they are to do so, they need four things:

knowledge, technical skills, morality and religion; for truth must be known, beauty fashioned,

good practised and God feared and loved.

Holy Cross College provides ample opportunities to our students to grow as integrated, holistic

and disciplined persons, with intellectual, emotional and spiritual development. Since the

world is as large as the range of one's interests, those who have hunger for writing and

expressing thoughts, 'Jyotirgamaya'our college magazine is like the readers'banguet, where

students and teachers have the freedom to express their broader outlooks. It is a platform

which welcomes a new world of sharing and caring to shatter the fragments of narrow

thinking and static living.

I am sure this annual magazine will be a treat for those who have interest in reading. It will act

like mind's window which will enable us to expand our horizon of knowledge.

With best wishes and God's blessings on all.

HOLY CROSS COLLEGE - A REPORT

Dr. Fr. Emmanuel Kallarackal, CSC

(January 2017)

Introduction:

Holy Cross College has completed exactly 7 years and 9 months now. The College has been permanently

affiliated with Tripura University (A Central University) and recognized under Section 2(f) and 12(B) of

the UGC Act, 1956 vide F.No.8-668/2015(CPP-l/C) dated 21, December 2016. It has been making steady

and rapid progress with numerous growth provoking activities and seminars while focusing at the

same time on excellence in the field of academics. At this stage of the college, very few students are

refused admission if they fulfill the basic criteria for admission determined by Tripura University (A

Central University).This year, all seats for all the opened courses have been filled up and a few courses

permitted by the University are still at the anvil. The English department in the College has the maximum

enrollment followed by the departments of Political Science, Zoology, Business Administration and

Sociology. It is very fulfilling to know that most of our students who hail from the economically and

socially less privileged sections of the society, are completing their graduation studies as excellent

students or first class students. Some of them even topped in the university exams, competing with

the other older and well established colleges affiliated to the University. It is also heartening to note

that more than 60% of the graduates who have passed out of the College are first generation graduates.

Orientation Programs are held for the new comers to the college every year. This includes familiarizing

them with one another, introduction to seniors, motivational classes by faculty and resource persons

from outside, focusing sessions, introduction to the culture, ethos, rules and regulations of the college,

introduction to the campus and the various activities of the college. The orientation program follows

the freshers' day and would normally last between 4 to 5 days. The freshers'day was on 11/7/2016.

12. In-service training/workshop for teaching faculty:

In-service training is offered to the teaching faculty at the start of every new academic year and

whenever possible: resource persons are brought from outside. The faculty members also do team

teaching and share their valuable experiences with others during these workshops. Plans for the

year are finalized and issues and concerns are attended to during this time of being together. The

newly inducted members of the faculty are introduced and integrated to the team during these days

of the workshop. Faculty enhancement program was held on July 1st & 2nd 2016.

13. Mentoring Practice:

Since the inception of the college, it followed a practice of'mentoring'of our students. Each teaching

faculty is entrusted with certain number of students who are mentored by them so that there is an

all-round growth in the students. Students are deeply appreciative of this practice and many have

given testimonials of how it has helped them in their lives and performances in the exams.

14. Community Service:

College organizes regular community services which offer service to the neighborhood as well as

training to our students to think beyond themselves and offer services to others. These are organized

at regular intervals without disturbing the academic time of the College.

talents of many students became manifested. The Mega final events saw a footfall of 8000 to 10,000

people mainly youth. Besides the performance of celebrities on the stage, gifted artists from different

Bands entertained the audience and the college students added to the entertainment through their

cultural programs.Tejas 4.0 was concluded on 15/11 /2015.

16. College alumni association - "Basilians"

BON VOYAGE TO SIRPANKAJCHAKRABORTY

Life is an alteration of meetings & partings." When

those whom we love, leave us, it pains & we find it

hard to break the bond. Greater the love, more the

pain; closer the union, more severe is the sense of

loss.

Similar was the experience of the family of Holy

Cross College when the news broke out that our

beloved Sir Pankaj would be leaving us for a year.

However appreciating his opportunity to serve at

King's College, Pennsylvania, we resigned and bid

him Bon Voyage. We had organized a short Bon

Voyage program and the entire student community

rocked it with their gratifying performances only to

wish Sir Pankaj the best for his trip to King's College,

in a way wishing him a safe and swift return to our

college.

Our Principal, Dr. Fr. Emmanuel, along with the two

faculty members wished him through their mes-

sages and asked the Lord for His blessings on Sir

Pankaj in his endeavors. We were all very proud for

his achievements and were filled with joy for him

but were also sad that his absence in the college for

longer months would be painful. Nevertheless, we

wished him from the depths of our hearts that God

may be with him all

through his stay at King's

We never believed that our 7-day Orientation Program would have so much in store for us. Designed to support new students as they begin their journey in HOC, the orientation program exposed us to the new academic environment, administrators, staff and peers. The warm welcome extended by the seniors made us cozy.

Lectures on various motivational topics left on us an indelible impression. Rev. Dr. Emmanuel's presentation on The Power of Silence'and Dr. Dilip's lecture on 'To go beyond ourcomfortzone'requirea special mention. We savored with much delight the different perspectives of Kung Fu Panda offered by Mr. Sankha Subhra Badra. The games advocated by Mr. John and Mr. Brendon were quite interesting and undoubtedly a useful ice-breaker. The orientation enabled a smooth transition and geared us up for all that was to follow.

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION

Holy Cross College is an English medium college, situated at Jubatara, Lembuchera in West Tripura.

The College offers participation in different club activities and I am one of the members of the 'Social Outreach Club'. This club comprises of 25 members

approximately, and our main agenda is to study the society through field survey so that we can understand it better. Most of the members of the

Social Outreach Club are from Sociology Depart- ment. Last month we had a field trip to Lefunga tea garden in order to study the socio- economic condition of the people of the estate. It was a short

journey from our college. When we reached the spot, first we were given some snacks to eat and after that we conducted our field survey. Before

getting into it, we were given some methodologi- cal tips essential for carrying out survey. We were

divided in many groups and we tried to collect information about the social and economic life

of the people there. In our survey, we found that certain members of the family were suffering from financial crisis and some could not avail

electric, water and medical facilities.

December 25th is celebrated all over the world with

joy and mirth as "Christmas Day"- the birthday of

Jesus, whom Christians believe and honour as the

'Son of God' and the 'Saviour'. The core or the

essence of Christmas is the self-emptying love or

selfless love.

In honour of the Saviour, we celebrated His birth on

the 24th of December in the college campus, where

we were blessed with the presence of many Fathers

and others who delivered meaningful thoughts

about the Holy event of Christmas and baby Jesus.

They enlightened us and told us, every new born

came into the world with a message of hope, love

and relationship. The baby Jesus of manger also

came with the big message to the world, i.e. to love,

care, understand, accept and forgive others as you

do to yourself. After the speech, our college choir

sang melodious Christmas carols like 'Angels'.

One of the best things of the day was the 'Santa

Claus'. The Santa Claus came to meet us and wish us

Merry Christmas. We were also given small and

wonderful gifts. We had a wonderful time thus

adding to our sweet memories to be cherished in

the future.

POLICE SHOW RETREAT

On 5th March, 2016 with the great support of the

College authority, the students were given an

opportunity to interact with a very dignified person-

ality of the Lefunga Police Department, Shree Ajay

Kumar Das. The session was conducted in the

College campus. Mr. Kumar enlightened the stu-

dents with awareness on the structural organisation

of a police station, its departments and sub-

departments as well as about the rights of a citizen

to raise voice against any injustice done to them.

The students were also informed about the func-

tions of different departments and theirfield of work

e.g. 1.0 Office, Women's helpline, Shreshta etc.

Emphasis was laid on the 24x 7 service availability of

the police department, thereby invigorating our

moral support.

The grave and charismatic personality of Inspector

Kumar made the session more comprehensible and

understanding. His agenda was not just restricted to

transfusing information regarding police related

issues but he inculcated the importance of self-

consciousness in life. His presentation included

some videos that were indeed inspiring. Some of

the videos include a ballad dancer achieving her

dream through her will power, despite all the

mockery she faced in the society with regards to her

body structure; a boy who loves painting yet his

painting was rejected by his teacher, and later he

creates a masterpiece. All these motivational videos

and some videos regarding safety measures on road

awakened our sense emphatically and widened the

horizon of our perception. It added

vibrancy to our everyday life and

augmented our knowledge.

A three-day Retreat was held from the 5th to 7th

March, 2016 in the College with the aim to nurture

the students spiritually. Nearly forty-five students

participated in it with great enthusiasm and hope.

The Resource person for the retreat was Bro. Vicky

who came all the way from Kolkata to be a source of

great blessing for the students. The retreat was

indeed unique, and treasured by all the participants.

The students praised the Almighty by singing songs

and listening to the word of God through the

preacher.

The students felt the Spirit of God moving in and

among themselves and many felt the healing power

of the Lord. Bro. Vicky encouraged the students to

read the Bible daily and taught the importance of

the Bible as a weapon to fight against the evil. He

helped the students in understanding the Love of

God.

The three days spiritual journey was indeed a great

blessing for the students. The students are indeed

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

SnigdhaDas B.A-lyear

\y-

We must keep on believing that we have the ability

to succeed. We must learn to appreciate ourselves.

Strong belief helps in figuring the way to do

extraordinary things. Therefore we should not allow

doubt to creep into our thoughts.

We must make constant efforts to develop our

capacities to the highest degree, for which training

and education must be a never ending process. The

result of constant hard work is the emergence of

'Self-confidence', which ultimately is the product of

faith. Besides, one's 'Courage', to face what comes on

the way, is an energy activator that sees danger and

conquers it. On the other hand, 'Defeat' puts a test

before us but it surely can not stop us, if we don't

stop ourselves.

Nothing in this world can take the place of

persistence. The greatest mistake we do in life is to

give up. In every success story we come across the

story of a great failure. The only difference is that the

successful people never give up, instead they

bounce back with more positive energy and

enthusiasm every time they fail. So always preserve

and never look back or give up.

POSITIVE ATTITUDE Snigdha Das, B.A-lyear

"Your life is like an ice-cream which must be

enjoyed before it melts."

One way of enjoying life is to have a positive attitude

always. To be smart and positive is the mantra. Never

let weeds grow on your path and make it harder for

you to proceed. Roaring, grumbling and groaning

will not get one very far. One should learn to

encourage oneself because people around, might

not always be supportive. Saying "I Can"will never let

one go back. The result will be stupendous success,

something to make you proud. One should learn

from sorrows, sufferings and woes of the past. Be an

optimist who laughs at the face of all adversities.

Adopt positive attitude, bring constructive changes

into your life, and live a radiant life.

MEDIA AND ITS LIMITATIONS

w

CONSUMfls

inf

A midnight sky is not beautiful if a moon does not

shine bright. In the same way, a society with no clear

vision of the basic principles in which it runs has no

course. Media is the source, through which the

society as a whole gets influenced and helps to

generate ideas regarding various aspects. Media has

its various tools such as the print media, digital

media etc. But what we do not know is that, media

being the most independent source of modern

knowledge, has its own limitations.

Media has its own set of ethics, to be followed, while

presenting any information. If ever the principles /

ethics violated, legal actions can also be taken

against them. For instance, we see that when the

murder takes place, the convicted person's face is

distorted. It is done for the betterment of the public

viewing the news and so they may not have

negative psychological influence. The limitations

vary from what will be the content of any interview

of a famous personality to the personal views of a

journalist and even the editors have to be at their

heels from preventing any nuisance.

Sometimes, it is argued that what media is present-

ing is also stimulated by certain individuals. But, we

have to understand that individuals have to abide by

certain values to present us with information. And it

is the individual who forms the society.

TRIBUTE TO DR. A.PJ. ABDUL KALAM

r \

A.PJ. Abdul Kalam (Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul

Kalam) was born on 15th Oct. 1931 to a Tamil Muslim

family in the pilgrimage centre of Rameshwaram on

Pamban Island. Kalam's father Jainulabdeen was a

boat owner and Imam of a local mosque, his mother

Asiamma a housewife. His father owned a ferry that

took Hindu Pilgrims back and forth between

Rameswaram. Kalam was the youngest of four

brothers and a sister in his family.

In his school days, Kalam had average grades but

was marked as a bright and hard working student

who had a strong desire to learn. He spent hours on

his studies. He completed his education at the

Schwartz Higher Secondary School,

Ramanathapuram and went on to attend St.

Joseph's College, Tiruchirappalli. He studied in the

University of Madras, from where he graduated in

Physics in 1954. He moved to Madras in 1955 to study

Aerospace Engineering in MIT and after graduating

from MIT in 1960, Kalam joined the Aeronautical

Development Establishment of the DRDO as a

scientist.

He started his career by designing a small hovercraft

but remained unconvinced by his choice of a job at

DRDO. He was also a part of the INCOSPAR

committee working under Vikram Sarabhai, the

renowned space scientist. Dr. Kalam was transferred

to the Indian Space Research Organisation in 1969,

where he worked as a project director of India's first

Satellite Launcher Vehicle (SLV-III) which successfully

deployed the Rohini Satellite in near Earth orbit in

July 1980. With this we realize that SLV technology

could have military applications in the form of

missile. He then became Programme Director to

launch Integrated Guided Missile Development

Programme.

In these 14 years of work span as Director of Defense

Research and Development laboratory, he devel-

oped Prithvi, Agni, Trishul, Akash and Nag. He

completed the long delayed "Arjun"tank project and

also pushed ahead with an indigenous air craft

engine "Kaveri".

Dr. Kalam popularly known as 'Missile Man'was the

President of India. The nation knows him as a

nuclear scientist and the father of India's successful

missile program. As a defense scientist he got the

'Bharat Ratna1 Award for his great success in Agni,

Prithvi, Trishul, Akash and Nag missile research. Our

nation is proud of him because he brought fame to

the nation in missile power and challenging

researches.

Besides being a scientist of high caliber, the

President of India Dr. Abdul Kalam was also a poet

and lover of music. He was also fond of playing the

Veena. He was a scientist who thought, dreamt, lived

and breathed science. The greatness of the man was

his simplicity despite having many achievements

and honors to his credit.

Dr. Kalam was down to earth, unassuming and a

sentimental person. Somebody asked him when he

was the president of India "What would he like to

become had he not been a scientist? He replied, "I

would have been probably farming in a small piece

of land in Rameshwaram."

We are proud to have such a great President who

enthused and championed the cause for the

exceptional work of advancement of science and-

public service of the highest order.

NATURE: OUR MOTHER AND OUR GREATEST

TEACHER

a a

'Nature- Our mother and the greatest teacher, she

speaks and teaches not in human language but in

deeds.'

Nature and human beings are interlinked and they

co-exist in the same scenario. In Indian tradition,

nature is seen as the image of a 'mother'who carries

us in her womb and feeds us in the variegated form

of trees, animals, plants and non-living things.

One of the tribs in the North-East India, namely

Khasis settled in Meghalaya and share a close

relationship with Nature. Nature, for the Khasis is a

great mother reverently named by Khasi traditional

wisdom as 'Ka Mei Ramew'. It includes the living

things and non-living things. All are connected with

each other through the whole universe. The Khasis

believe that human beings and the nature are

closely connected. Nature sustains our livelihood

and other aspects of social life such as our

knowledge and our history; our connection with our

ancestors is based on it. The people are intimately

dependent upon the nature for their existence such

as food, shelter, clothing and medicine. The tribal

religious beliefs and practices are connected with

various subjects of nature.

In 1979, St. John Paul II proclaimed, St. Francis of Assisi

as the patron of ecology. The Pope showed a

genuine and deep respect for the nature and all the

creation. St. Francis called Nature as a 'mother'which

includes creation like animals, plants, trees and other

natural forces and the Sun as brother, the Moon as

sister to give honour and praise to the Lord.

All the tribals believe that Nature is a great teacher,

as shared by the elders from one generation to

another through oral tradition. This encompasses all

the tribes like Kuki, Khasi, etc.

According to FI.O.Mawrie, one of the renowned

Khasi intellectuals, Nature has been a great teacher

and guide in daily life of human beings and human

beings cannot exist separately from the Nature.

Nature is the greatest educator, it provides us

knowledge for existence, provides medicines for

curing of diseases and as the natural clock of seasonal

relation of days and months. Nature forms an

inseparable part of our life from birth to death.

Barnes, LMawrie also echoes that the tribal people

have a very close affinity with the Nature.

The relationship can be further understood from the

oral traditions shared by elders from one generation

to another. The younger generation of the tribals

people would wonder as to how the elders would

know about the quality of rain in a particular year. A

particular insect called water beetle has been known

as nature's rain calculator and elders have learnt from

it over generations. Nature teaches human beings

when it is the time for sowing and time for harvesting.

"There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but

not for man's greed" -Mahatma Gandhi.

Gandhiji mentioned clearly that Mother Nature feeds

and nurtures us from womb to tomb. However it has

been noticed that the modernization of human

societies has disturbed the fragility of the Nature. It

was pointed out that human and Nature had an

uneasy relationship from the dawn of civilization.

Though there was apparent harmony between them

in the beginning, human progress has always been at

the cost of Nature. The questions now arise:-

- Can a man live happily if he sees his mother crying?

- Can God give his blessings to us if we disrespect

our mother?

- Imagine a fish without water, can it survive?

The future of the world is in the hands of today's

generation. As the students of HCC it's our duty to

direct the path towards regeneration and rejuvena-

tion of Mother Nature, in order to bring about a

greater understanding of the oneness of all the

creations of which we are a part. As

Einstein quotes, "Look deep into our

Mother Nature and then you will

understand everything better."

NEW START WITH

NEW TEACHERS

WINTER WONDERS

IN THE CAMPUS

Applying to Holy Cross College after passing 12th

standard is a sweet and a memorable experience. I

think the decision of choosing a college is a great

job. But I realized that the decision which I took was

the best for me. I came to this college taking a new

step in my life.

This year our college was shifted to a new campus in

Lembucherra, Jubatara which is surrounded by

beautiful environment. We are the first batch of this

very new campus who are going to complete our

journey in its beauty. So it is a new environment all

together, new friends and new admirable teachers.

All the faculty members of our college are very

WINTER WONDERS

IN THE CAMPUS

i

Applying to Holy Cross College after passing 12th

standard is a sweet and a memorable experience. I

think the decision of choosing a college is a great

job. But I realized that the decision which I took was

the best for me. I came to this college taking a new

step in my life.

This year our college was shifted to a new campus in

Lembucherra, Jubatara which is surrounded by

beautiful environment. We are the first batch of this

very new campus who are going to complete our

journey in its beauty. So it is a new environment all

together, new friends and new admirable teachers.

All the faculty members of our college are very

much friendly so that we can never feel hesitant to

share our problems with them. They inspire us every

day, they guide us to what is right and which path of

life we should take. If we don't understana or have

MY LIFE BETWEEN

MY JOURNEY AT HOLY CROSS COLLEGE

CO-L

With the motto of the college "Aim high ....Believe

you can" I began my journey at Holy Cross College

and that kept infusing in me the motivation as I took

each step in climbing the stairs of my graduate life.

The college was indeed built with many steps of

knowledge leading me towards perfection of life

and guiding me to be more human in the society.

Each step I climbed every day I had something to

learn for life and find a new way of venturing into it.

As the world keeps on advancing, my college gave

me the opportunity to discover something new and

re-discover the ability and talents that were in me.

Stepping into Holy Cross College was for me a God

given chance for there were many who wished to,

but the situation of life had made them not to avail

this opportunity.

When I look back over the days, months and years

that have passed by, I am amazed to see how the

days have passed like the blowing of the breeze.

Each Pearson I met or came in touch with is the

precious stone which have helped me to build my

life. My Principal, teachers, friends were my co-

travelers who were all instruments for me which

helped me climb the steps in my college to reach

the height of my class room, where I could interact

and I found something precious in each one. Staying

in the portals of Holy Cross College infused in me

with vast knowledge of head and heart. I just

wonder at the marvelous gifts I have

received. I am found to be part and

parcel of Holy Cross College. Long live

Holy Cross College.

Looking back at those years of student life at Holy

Cross College, is a joyful and worth cherishing

experience. Nothing of disadvantage came my way

while I spent my student life in HCC except beautiful

moments and wonderful learnings. A bundle of

learnings were added day after day in my calendar

year, not to forget of being a student representative

for a considerable time, which has taught me a

number of virtues. HCC has given me my platform to

stand and see my capacity, capability of my hidden

strengths, unknown gifts and talents.

Taking courage to move beyond my pages to the

last chapter of my knowing things was like turning a

new page, event by event that led me to risk my

comfort zone of student life. I feel proud when I look

back to the year of 2013 that paved my way to see

myself as 'ME'and gave the strength to face people,

familiar and unfamiliar during the various college

programs and activities. At the edge of bidding

goodbye to my student life in HCC in 2016, I feel

proud of what I am today. I extend my grateful heart

to HCC family, the Principal, teachers, students, and

everyone who made my life a comfort-

able one, be it in studies or other co-

curricular activities from 2013 to 2016.

Everyone was delighted when they saw beautiful

flowers as the seeds were just sown. But now with

BEAUTY OF OUR

CAMPUS

"Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made,

and forgot to put souls into."

- Henry Beecher

Every campus has its own beauty and uniqueness.

So also ours too As our campus is new and is only a

year old, it has its own charm and beauty. When

anyone enters the campus the first thought that will

come up to his/her mind is the beautiful garden. Our

University Exam is totally different from the college

exams. The exam is easy to pass and also easy to fail.

It is a thing we always wanted to experience since

our childhood and now we were about to live our

childhood dream.

When we first sat inside the examination hall, our

hearts were beating fast, but we had full confidence

in our exam preparation. We felt a bit scared when

we were told to write the answer after reading the

questions carefully, but now we were ready for it.

The duration of University exam is three hours for

each subject. For those who write slowly, it is a

challenging task and they are expected to work

upon their writing speed. On our part the experi-

ence was awesome and

memorable one.

What my mind can conceive and believe, I can

achieve" -Napoleon Hill

On 6th April, 2016, the Literary Club took the

initiative to organize an intellectual competition

named "Test your Abilities". The main purpose was to

test the students' intellectual ability and to help

them to become more confident.

The program started at 3.15 pm in the Auditorium.

The MC of the program was Amili Basak. The

competition was conducted in 3 rounds. The 1st

round was The Extempore' round, 2nd was 'The

Quiz' and the 3rd round was called 'Spell bee'round.

The judges of the competition were Dr. Reba

Chakravarty and Mrs. Barnita Majumder. The partici-

pants were divided into 5 groups namely, group A, B,

C, D, E. Each group comprised of 2 members. A

tough battle was fought to attain the 1st position.

After the last round, Group B was declared as the

winner of the competition.

The program was a very successful one because not

only the participants enjoyed it but also the faculty

members and other students present for the event

cheered and rejoiced. The vote of thanks was

proposed by Amili and the program

came to an end at 4.00 pm.

MY COLLEGE LIFE

College life is not merely an academic experience,

rather it is a life with plethora of experiences and

knowledge. One must enjoy his/her college days

thoroughly but as a former student, it's the charm

at another level and a flashback of it revives

everything.

As Alumni, I have a unique perspective of my college. HCC has always been my second home in true sense. Its ethics and homeliness made me its lifelong associate. My college days were ecstatic, as mesmerizing as the blooming of bud in early winter

days. To recollect those days is like going back to

that life once again.

We were less familiar to classrooms than the playgrounds. Days passed by with innumerable activities. And all this happened only because it's

HCC. Since we were small in count, they looked upon all our needs. The environment of college

provided me with the possibility to think differently,

to be creative and innovative. Being a student of Business Administration, it really helped me to be an Associate Professional in a Multi-National company.

The challenges that we faced in college days helped me live my present life joyfully. It's not easy to place yourself out of your hometown and make an

identity of your own but thanks to our teachers. Their constant guidance has brought me where I am

today.

Now being an Alumni, I can't ever forget the

learnings of my college life. But the real taste of college days is the unforgettable fun. What not we had done! From class mastis to campus addas. Many

events like Tejas, Teacher's day occupied our minds with extra joy. But I feel the mega event is the

Graduation Day for any outgoing Graduate. It is the

day when you see your dream getting one step closer, when your parents smile with pride, your

teachers feel proud of you, and your juniors take you

as their role model. That's another level of bliss.

Today while I am pursuing my MBA as well as engaged in a job, it reminds me of my college that provided me with the potential to be here.

Everyone (teachers and friends) helped me to focus and gave me a sense of direction in life. Neither did 1' nor can I forget those

memories and my college ever. It is truly special for me. My college is the best.

the theme 'merge to emerge'. Holy Cross School

playground was chosen as the venue for the event.

The stage was well set up with lights and colours.

Many important dignitaries were present for the

program.

On the first day entrepreneurial awards were given

to Jayanta Debnath, CEO of Tripurainfo the web

performance on various fields like sports, competi-

tions etc. Many cultural dances were also performed.

15th November, the second day of the event was

called the 'Mega Nite' which started with various

cultural activities.

Tejas was to provide opportunities to the local youth

for showcasing their talents before a large audience

and provide platform to realize their dreams and

pursue their passion; Many local bands were invited

to perform in the event, which indeed delighted the

students and proved to be a grand success. Tejas

also brought the students to tap their feet with their

mix and match classical and rock music. A fashion

show was held where participants came forward

with rich and beautiful garments which left the

audience spell-bound.

One of the attractions ofTejas 4.0 was the food stalls.

Various food stalls were set up by the students with

different traditional foods, which attracted a large

crowd. Various stalls were also set up for games.

Tejas 4.0 was indeed a wonderful experience for the

"One's task is not to seek for love, but merely to

seek and find all the barriers within oneself that one

has built against it.'To understand what I am saying

you need to "feel and realise" life in its totality, you

have to get in touch with your HEART. You need to

experience solitude, which most people are afraid of,

because only in the silence of the heart, one starts

listening to the truth.

The heart is the centre where love happens, birth

happens, death happens. When death happens it is

the heart that stops. When love happens it is the

heart that sings. When birth happens it is the heart

that starts beating. All that is real happens in the

heart. I am not saying that the mind is unimportant.

I am saying that the mind has utility but it never

carries the ultimate.

In life even when you think you have your life all

mapped out, suddenly things happen that shape

and change your destiny in ways you might never

have imagined. If you want to reach a state of

understanding, then you have to go beyond the

ego. You must leave three needs. The need to

control, the need to be approved, and the need to

judge. Remember that only in "leaving" the unreal,

one finally starts "living" the real.

I can say from my experience that until silence and

grace happens to you, you cannot find a space

within you which is blissful. Be the person you are.

Never try to be another, and you will become

mature. Maturity is accepting the responsibility of

being oneself. Remember, God has made you

unique. Accept your 'YOUniqueness' and respect it.

Share it. Celebrate it. The way I see, the only

transformation that is needed NOW is how to shift

your energy from the MIND to the HEART. The word

NOW if read backward says WON and only when you

live in the NOW, people someday may say that you have WON in your life. Life is not a puzzle to be solved but a mystery to be lived and lived moment to moment from known to the unknown.

See the word HEART. It has HEAR and ART hidden in it. So HEAR with your HEART and that's the ART. Hear, listen to your own being which is continuously giving you signals to realise this piece of life from it's origin to the ultimate.

Love is the only real richness, all other kinds of richness is deceptive. Birth and death are the two banks of this river called life and what flows in this river is called love in its pure essence.

Love, to be really love, has to be being-love. Being-love means a state of love. When you have arrived home, when you have known who you are, then a love arises in your being. Then the fragrance spreads and you can give it to others.

Pour your love in your SILENCE and pour your SILENCE in your love. The way I see, the future belongs to innocence, "in - no-sense", "just being", not becoming a great human being but realizing that just being human is great.

Nothing ever blissful will happen until you live in your own light. The way I see is that the word "life & file" are spelt with the same letters. So don't simply make a file out of your life. Live it, experience it, accept it in its TOTALITY.

Tomorrow never comes. It cannot come by its very nature. "Today is today". Don't avoid life, else it will create "a-void" of uneasiness in you. Be patient. Be sincere but not serious. Just being yourself is being beautiful.

Before I put a full stop, I want to express that, "being love is away or being love is a-way, the choice is always yours". I can only say from my existential experience that the deeper you go, life is more like love and less like logic and one has to realise this and transform a life of tragic into a life of magic. Live in your own light and that's the de-light. Live Your Light...

HOW TO PREPARE FOR

COMPETITIVE

EXAMS

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC)/

Tripura Public Service Commission (TPSC) are the

regulatory bodies which are responsible for con-

ducting a number of competitive exams to recruit

for various civil service vacancies for the govern-

ment.

IAS (Indian Administrative Service) or the (CSE) Civil

Services Exams are conducted in two phases and

they are prelims and mains and after cracking both,

the interview. The Prelims exam consists of objective

type questions, while the mains is of descriptive and

essay type answering.

Before saying anything about how to prepare for

these kind of exams one should regularly follow a

national and a regional newspaper as well as

magazines to keep oneself updated of the latest

happenings in and around the world. Well formu-

lated strategy along with optimum time manage-

ment is the only way to crack the exam.

It is suggested to include in your strategy to invest

your time to go through the previous year(s)

question papers. A thorough insight of the past

papers will solve two purposes. It will appraise you

about the standard of the questions being asked

and secondly, it will constantly guide you through-

out your preparation. It is my advice to you not to go

through a lot of books, instead rely on one or two

standard books for each topic which deal with the

basic concepts. Standard books not only save your

time but also enrich you with the adequate

knowledge. So always rely on one quality book. Also

it is advisable to collect various books on different

topics in advance to save time, and make your own

notes.

There are many quality websites offering free

guidance, study materials and mock exams to equip

aspirants who wish to do self-study. Self-study can

be done at the comfort of one's own home at less

than 1/10th of the amount charged by coaching

institutes. I won't say coaching classes are not

required, rather I would say that these coaching

classes will keep you informed about your pace and

your rank in competition, to know how other

candidates are preparing, where they are and where

you have to reach. This can also be done if you form

a friends group and study. While loitering around

with your friends, keep asking General Studies

questions or discuss other topics, it will give you

additional time to prepare without boredom.

Always remember that the paper on General Studies

and the optional papers are different. In the optional

papers, one can write a high quality answer and be

confident of getting good marks - because the

examiner who is checking an optional paper would

be from that core subject. But in General Studies this

will not work. The examiner who is checking the

economics answer in a General Studies paper is

more likely not to be an economist. Mostly the

person would be a generalist with limited knowl-

edge and interest in the core subject, so if you write

some specialized answer or use some specific terms

or models from your optional while writing a

General Studies answer, there is a chance that the

examiner may not appreciate it. So it is advisable to

keep to the basics and use the examples known or

commonly used by individuals.

Thus, prepare hard, have the basics strong and be

motivated about it. All the best.

THE SOJOURN

r.

wm

If the path is beautiful

Ask where it leads to

But if destination is beautiful

Never mind about the path

Keep walking.

This is what I did when I joined Holy Cross in the year

1991. Since the destination was beautiful, I never felt

the need of minding the path. I kept walking.

As I rewind and go down the memory lane, I still

recall the vivid memories of my journey through

Holy Cross. We were stationed at Teliamura, which is

45 kms away from Agartala and approximately 55

kms from Holy Cross, Durjoynagar. I had to commute

every day from Teliamura to Holy Cross School. I

managed only because I was supported whole

heartedly by the School authority. When I joined the

school I had already completed my Ph. D; So my

principal had great hesitation in appointing me, in

the fear that I would leave anytime getting a better

opportunity. But I fell in love with the institution

from day one. My first class with class five students

* was a maths class and the affirmation they gave me

was indeed overwhelming. My colleagues

embraced me with love and so I got rooted in no

time. The emotional nourishment received from the

institution helped me develop a strong anchorage.

In this long journey of 25 years, I gained much and

did not lose anything. My contemporary associates

are now professors and deans of the universities but

I am happy that I am with what I have as an assistant'

professor. What I earned in the form of love and

respect from students spread all over the world

cannot be bought with money. The recognition I

received, the identity I got in the society is all

because of Holy Cross. I am refined and reformed

today because of my institution. My experiences in

teaching the kids in school enhanced my confid-

ence manifold and today I know I can understand

the minds of students to deal with them appropri-

ately.

It is often said that Mother Teresa was like any other

nun, yet different from the rest. I feel, this became

my motto too. I too am like any other teacher but my

attempt is to be different from others in touching

the lives of many in a positive way. I try to follow

what Swami Vivekananda said "You will pass

through this world but once, so leave some mark

behind." As teachers it is easy for us to leave an

imprint in the minds of our students. After all we are

role models for them and this realization has helped

me grow mentally and spiritually. I have learnt the

psyche of the students and realized that each one is

a unique creation of God. We only need to identify

their potentialities to help them climb the ladder of

success. And the immense pleasure one gets from

creating achievers of success is incomparable to any

other pleasure. That is where I feel I am fully

contented today. I have seen many students reach

the pinnacle of success and are today well placed in

society with renowned reputation.

Today at the end of 25 years, I have a big family called

Holy Cross. This organization with Fathers, Sisters,

colleagues, students and supporting staff are my

strengths. They have made me feel,

I am perfect

In my imperfections

Happy in my pain

Strong in my weakness

And beautiful in my own way.

DOES USE OF TECHNOLOGY

Technology symbolizes the progression of human

knowledge and 'Man'is considered to be its creator.

Every day immense amount of destruction is done

by humans on the earth through the processes of

deforestation, depletion of ozone layer, pollution of

air, soil and water, over utilization of natural

resources, leading us towards wastage and great

perils. We might then wonder - Are these the gifts

of the true Creator? Isn't it in the name of easing our

lives, actually they are enslaving us? Buying technol-

ogy is expensive, not only because of the amount of

money spent to buy it but also because it has

immense harmful effects on our health. Most

ironically, the social media is actually making us

unsocial. Thanks to social networking, we know the

names of the pets of our friends who are miles apart

but don't know the names of the neighbors who

reside next door. Social networking is gradually

making us live in a virtual world rather than in the

real. Besides, it has also gifted us with competitive-

ness, stress, jealousy, lots of virtual friends and

followers so to speak but loneliness in reality.

Today our life is unimaginable without technology,

specifically without our mobile phones. In 2010 a

study done in United Kingdom found a disorder in

mobile phone users called "nomophobia."This term

is actually coined from the concept of 'no-mobile-

phone-phobia' where people feel anxiety, stress,

discomfort, hypertension and so on. If they don't

have mobile phones or low credit in balance, low

battery, or do not receive a message or a call or a

missed call - these give such persons tension and

anxiety. That day is not very far, when excessive It not

only poses a threat to our youth but it also throws a

challenge towards us - 'we'as educators: Where do

we stand? How do we deal with it? In the coming

years, the role of the teacher will not only be to

impart knowledge from the books or texts, as these

are easily available to the youth in the virtual world

but should be more of a facilitator—whose role will

be to provoke the apprentice towards living in the

moment, to enjoy the physical world, to be

thoughtful, to be creative, to be strategic and most

importantly to be expressive in the physical world

and not to be relegated only to the virtual world.

That is the cue and at the same time, a challenge of

being a true educator. So it is on us to see how we

use technology. Technology is just a blade - it is the

hand of a doctor or a goon that determines its true

effectiveness in making and breaking a society.

NEVER GIVE UP!

Life is a mysterious bunch of surprises. They cheer

us, they also make us shed tears. These surprises are

moral challenges that mould us and nurture our

spirits with greater confidence, courage and cred-

ibility. When we come across these challenges, we

might face them boldly, withstand them efficiently

and finally, overcome them effectively. However,

there are some of us, who undergo nervous traumas

and surrender ourselves to these challenges and

thereby, are rudely defected. Owing to this, we get

demoralized and the next challenge that life

projects towards us, is to become even tougher and

more difficult. This leads to natural self-defect, and

mental discomfort.

We must therefore be strong enough to handle

every challenge of life. Some of them might actually

be difficult, tedious and not that easy to bend them

before us. However, that is where and why we need

to be skilled and wise to grab them within our claws,

tight enough to adjust it within our grips. If we let

loose, then it might flap its wings and might even

harm us, in return. That is the test we are obliged to

give to life with every new challenging surprises in

the course of life.

The biggest strength we have with us is the joint

efforts of our hearts and minds - which is called -

'determination'. If we succeed in initiating our hearts

and minds to work in collaboration, concentrating

on the same task, without wavering, that is what we

say is - 'determination'. We can then give the best of

our abilities to win a victory over the greatest of the

great challenges, confronting us.

We are not cowards to give up when challenged or

succumb to it, but we are God's children,, bestowec

with His graces, so we are gifted with the abilities

and capabilities to win over the most herculean

challenges of life. It is all within ourselves as to how

and what we think, perceive the world around us

and believe in the world within us.

It is the thought 'NO'that is the real barrier and is

difficult to overcome but it is not the challenge that

stands before us. On the contrary, if we inculcate the

habit of saying a 'YES'to ourselves, to our habits and

to our minds, we befriend the challenges and hence

live with them smilingly.

Quoting a famous and successful soul on the earth

in this regard, we can say to ourselves, when faced

with a novel challenge of life, —

"It's not that I am so smart, it's just that I stay with

problems longer."

Albert Einstein

It is noteworthy that -

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize

how close they were to success when they gave up."

and stimulate the practice of accepting life's

MASTER TIME TO

MASTER LIFE

Have you ever wondered about the innocence of

childhood? How beautiful things were when we

were kids; looking at the world with hope, optimism

and curiosity, and not with cynicism, making friends

easily and simplifying things. Life was not at all

complicated. So often, we meet people reminiscing

about that golden era amidst the quagmire of adult

life. There is nothing which is more precious than

time. Well, I think it's never too late. We can't

replicate those things. We can't go back to that

period. But yes, we can always learn from that stage

of life. Life is a gift to be lived fully. As it has been said

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as

though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though

everything is a miracle." We can always strive to fulfill

our capabilities. Let's start believing in our capabili-

ties.

Who I am is unimportant, don't look to heavens

above

See what has been and what could be with just a

little love

A world that's full of anger and hate, will eat itself

away

A world which is loved, with a people that care, will

see another day

For every heart you touch with love, a hundred

more will shine

This world will become a true paradise until

the end of time.

I am just reminded of the last three wishes of Alex-

ander the great, who was the famous king of his

time. Of course we must have heard or read,

on his death bed, he summoned his army generals

and told them his three ultimate wishes:

❖ The best doctors should carry his coffin...

❖ The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold,

precious stones) should be scattered along the

procession to the cemetery...

❖ His hands should be let loose, so they hang

outside the coffin for all to seel!

One of his generals who was surprised by these

unusual requests asked Alexander to explain. This is

what Alexander the Great had to say:

❖ "I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to

demonstrate that in the face of death, even the

best doctors in the world have no power to heal."

❖ "I want the road to be covered with my treasure

for everybody to see that material wealth

acquired on earth, will stay on earth..."

❖ I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that

people understand that we come to this world

empty handed and we leave this world empty

handed after the most precious treasure of all is

exhausted, and that is: TIME.

We do not take along any material wealth. TIME is

our most precious treasure because it is LIMITED. We

can produce more wealth, but we cannot produce

more TIME.When we give someone our time, we

actually give a portion of our life that we will never

take back.We want to take all our yearnings to make

a difference, to make a name for ourselves, to fulfill

our dreams, and turn them into practical strategies.

We want the world to see, feel, recognize and

benefit from the very best of us. Give the world the

best you have and the best will come back to you!!!!

Let me stop with the words of Samuel Smiles,

"lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost

knowledge by study, lost health by temperance

or medicine, but lost time is gone

forever".

MASTER TIME TO

MASTER LIFE

Have you ever wondered about the innocence ot

childhood? How beautiful things were when we

were kids; looking at the wodd with hope, optimism

and curiosity, and not with cynicism, making friends

easily and simplifying things. Life was not at all

complicated. So often, we meet people reminiscing

about that golden era amidst the quagmire of adult

life. There is nothing which is more precious than

time. Well, I think it's never too late. We can't

replicate those things. We can't go back to that

period. But yes, we can aiways learn from that stage

of life. Life is a gift to be lived fully. As it has been said

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as

though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though

everything is a miracle." We can always strive to fulfill

our capabilities. Let's start believing in our capabili-

ties.

Who I am is unimportant, don't look to heavens

above

See what has been and what could be with just a

little love

A world that's full of anger and hate, will eat itself

LIFE IS

BEAUTIFUL

Michael Dee Montague, "If you have known how to compose your life, you have done a great deal more than the one who has taken cities and empires."

In the words of Suzy Kassem, "We were all born to be peaceful citizens of the world. Take care of your global garden and do not allow evil gardeners to try and convince you which flowers are ugly and which should be destroyed. This is God's universe and he is the master gardener of all. If you see ugliness in his creations, then you see ugliness in our Creator. Wake up. If we eliminate all colors in his garden, then what would be a rainbow with only one color? And what would be a garden with only one kind of flower? Why would the Creator create a vast assortment of plants, ethnicities, and animals, if only one beast or seed is to dominate all of existence?"

World is like a garden with colorful flowers and the beauty of each is a delight to the eyes. In case the flowers of a garden are all of one color, the effect would be monotonous to the eye; but when the colors are variegated, it is most pleasing and wonderful. View of the flower garden, consider the numerous and varied beauties which are collected in so small a space. Observe the night violet flower, which towards evening perfumes the garden with its fragrance, in which it excels all other flowers; but it has no beauty, and has no resemblance of a flower: it is small and of a gray color, approaching towards green, so as to be scarcely distinguished from the leaves; humble and modest, it scents the whole garden, though it is not perceived in multitude, and it is almost incredible that a flower of such insignificant appearance should give out odours so exquisitely sweet. It may resemble a person whom we think or see as not beautiful, but whose want of beauty nature has more than compensated by a ready wit and enlarged mind. The person does good works in silence and the sweet incense of good works ascends all around.

Tulip is one of the perfect flowers in the richness and beauty of its colors. It surpasses in the number of leaves and in the elegance of its form. This flower is the emblem of a person in whom sense and beauty are united, and who has the happiness to conciliate the love and respect of fellow creatures. Let us observe the rose, its color, form and perfume, all charm us. But its beauty soon fades, and the attractions which distinguished it from other flowers soon cease. This is a useful lesson to those who pride themselves upon beauty alone; from the short lived honors of the rose, let us take warning how frail and perishing are the charms of a person and the elegance of the form.

We have orchids which are very special to North east with its beauty, it lasts for many days; but has an end. All is vanity; all flesh is as grass, flower, and the glory of a person as the flower

fadeth away. The lilies, orchids, tulips and the roses; a beautiful face, fade like the flowers of the garden, and death leaves no trace of them behind. Let us be wise enough to seek our happiness and response from more certain and durable sources. Wisdom, virtues never fade, and are never exhausted. They are the fountains of joy whose waters shall refresh when every other source is dried up.

Sanjay Hazarika puts it, Northeast is "an anthropologist's delight and administrator's nightmare." North- East "is a nation within a nation." North East and Tripura in particular attract and fascinate the rest of the country or the world at large. The presence of a large number of diverse groups makes it a heaven on earth. Every group has its own beauty and uniqueness. Each differs in culture, language and lifestyle. When we can admire and appreciate for what they are, our eyes turn to the creator who is the greatest artist ever walked on this earth. No achievements of our human existence can overtake this artist, creator, inventor, and scientist whatever name we want to give. Is there anyone who can compete with the creator who works every minute.

Although we are different individualities, different in ideas and various fragrances, all we want is like flowers of the same divine garden to live together in peace and harmony. Even though each one of us have our own perfume and color, we all radiate the same light, like waves of one sea, trees of one forest and flowers of one garden, grow in the utmost love of the creator who beautified this world. Every flower is adorned with color and beauty giving charm to all. All differ in kind, color, form and shape, yet, in as much as they are refreshed by the waters of one spring, revived by the breath of one wind, invigorated by the rays of one sun, this diversity increases their charm and adds unto their beauty. It is not pleasing to the eye when the flowers and plants, the leaves and blossoms, the fruit, the branches, the trees of a garden all have same shape and color! Diversity of hues, form and shape enrich and adorn the garden, and heighten the effect thereof. So also the human shades of thought, temperament and character, the beauty and glory of human perfection will be revealed and made manifest in life. I end with words of Suzy Kassem, "Be different. Be original. Nobody will remember a specific flower in a garden filled with thousands of the same yellow flower, but they will remember the one that managed to change its color to purple."

WOMEN'S DAY

SEEK VALUE MORE

THAN SUCCESS

Life comes through a "woman.'To celebrate life and womanhood "International women's day" is cel-

ebrated symbolically on 8th of March to show respect, appreciation and love towards women. We,

at Holy Cross College also celebrated women's social, economic, political achievements. The chosen theme for 2016 was "Pledge for Parity" which

was discussed at length before the students, to make them aware of the essence of the theme.

Turning on the newspapers, TV channels etc my heart weeps; we live in an age of hyper aesthetic tension where the entire society is pressurised to look

good. From the cradle to creche and from play school to workplace, beauty matters. The popularity of anti- ageing creams, fairness creams etc. proves that even

today beauty is seen as looking younger than ones' age or having a fairer complexion. Whereas I know ageing is a natural process. However a new born has

no idea of the so called "beauty."But gradually it's you and me who teach them what beauty is. It seems the

society has a set of its own rules to judge one's beauty in comparison with others.

Now that time has come for us to focus in building, not a beautiful woman, but "women of substances"

she, who is powerful, who is full of positive influence and meaning. Lets encourage women to embrace their individuality and accept the way they are. That

was what we aimed to focus on. In order to awaken the student community about the need of respecting and honouring every woman in and around- their lives.

After all beauty comes in all shapes and colours. Lets teach our daughters to use their voice, help in finding their own dreams and pursue

them. Only then we can reach our goal for parity.

Va lue plays a very crucial role in one's life. 'Value'

means a principle standard of behavior. Value has

major influence on a person's behavior and attitude

and serves as broad guideline in all situations. No

human life is possible without value. Some of the

values which a person can generally practice in

everyday life are honesty, respect, faith, wisdom,

love, care, co-operation, peace, discipline etc.

The world is full of successful people. Becoming

successful is not a very hard thing in this world and

difficult to achieve. It just requires equal proportion

of hard work and good luck to achieve success day

by day. Life is becoming a stage of competition and

every person is running after it to be the best in the

competition. Every person wants to be famous and

successful. While achieving success one should

remember that success is not a destiny but it is a

journey.

This journey is actually more important than the

destination and if no ethics were involved in the

journey then the destination has no value at all.

There is no harm in achieving success but a person

must feel good about the path they choose to

achieve success. We all have to keep in our minds

that if we give our best performance keeping our

value in mind then nobody can stop us from

achieving what we want to achieve in life. Even if

one is not successful in completing a task in the first

attempt, it does not mean that one is a failure. One

learns more from failures than from success.

According to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, "Confidence and

hard-work are the best medicine to kill the disease

called failure. It will make you a successful person".

We might have heard a famous proverb that says -

time to achieve. To achieve success with value, one

must follow the BD's in life - Determination,

Dedication and Discipline.

According to Albert Einstein, "Try not to become a

man of success, but a man of value. Look around at

how people want to get more out of life than they

put in. A man of value will give more than he

receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you

strong value system. We always need to remember

that the harder we work, the luckier we get.

With the heart pacing to and fro, shaking my limbs

walk. Sitting at the edge of a fluffy bed, I ponder

that sleeoless night sacrificed for 04, those labour

spent marks 04, sacrifice for day out and movies with

friends is 04. The thoughts seem heavy and

unbearable till tears gush forth to soothe at last.

Going seems difficult. What's the point when you

labour and work and the outcome is 04? What's the

point of Hard work?

But is this the end? All the gathered knowledge that

cost much sacrifice and pain beginning from a

toothless child comes to this point and stopped.

Does a single failure mean an end? Does 04 rate me

eternally and say I cannot excel? Among my peers,

04, I stand. Hundreds of questions hovered and

passed my mind.

Catharsis is the need-To be free from the fear of low

self-esteem and self-pity and uncountable more.

Seeking solace, as I scroll through social networks, at

last found someone saying, "I fail in some subjects in

exam, but my friend passed in all. Now he is an

engineer in Microsoft and I'm the owner of Micro-

soft." It was the billionaire Bill Gates, the owner of

Microsoft Company with a net worth of US$ 15

billion. Thoughts gush forth in no time. Perhaps! He

felt the same I did, and Perhaps! More! Scorched and

teased by peers, heard myriads of lectures and gallis

from parents. Yet, his end is not a failed Bill Gates but

a victorious Bill Gates. I wonder whether he foresaw

it during his miserable days. I guess, No!

Perseverance and faith are the need of the hour-in

failure and misery, in pain and disappointment.Thus,

gathering courage and inspired; troubling not the

conscience of failure and victory, I hit the giant back

again with mightier force. Like a hen gathering her

strength with a puffed wings to hit her foe that

troubles her beloved chicks. And then... the table

overturned. The score was 09 on 10. 04 was not the

end, 04 seem but the past and 09 the present and

the story continued.

In the fast changing world of competition and race,

failure is but a common show, tasted by both big

and small. So thus, is Success. Constancy is rare, like

our growing age which once fresh later fades to

turn to dust. All we need is to take a stand against

failure. When it strikes us, the attitude should not be

one of a brooding and self-pitying but rather

gathering our strength and putting more of an effort

to hit back and fight for the better.

One's failure at present does not define our failure in

future. As someone said, 'One small crack does not

mean that you are put on the test and

you didn't fall apart'

Had I quit, would I understand!!!

How fair are thou, soft and tender

That stands so low and humble

Not a soft word uttering to passer by

Not a call, nor a cry, though you long so,

There I saw you one early morn

And fell in love with you and still it's strong

Picking you from the ground was a delight

Easing your heart and bringing me a smile,

There, I blow you of your eternal bound.

The wind strengthen your wings,

Followed a mirthful song.

Oh dandelion, my dandelion

Couldn't you spare me a tiny ground?

And let me put my heavy song?

As the wind sets you free

Let me too be free in glee and thus

Experience my blissful song.

And be one with Mother

And thus sing our eternal song

Before we are really gone

Gone forever gone...

it during his miserable days. I guess, No!

Perseverance and faith are the need of the hour-in

failure and misery, in pain and disappointment.Thus,

gathering courage and inspired; troubling not the

conscience of failure and victory, I hit the giant back

again with mightier force Like a hen gathering her

strength with a puffed wings to hit her foe that

troubles her beloved chicks. And then... the table

overturned. The score was 09 on 10. 04 was not the

end, 04 seem but the past and 09 the present and

the story continued.

In the fast changing world of competition and race,

failure is but a common show, tasted by both big

and small. So thus, is Success. Constancy is rare, like

our growing age which once fresh later fades to

turn to dust. All we need is to take a stand against

failure. When it strikes us, the attitude should not be

one of a brooding and self-pitying but rather

gathering our strength and putting more of an effort

to hit back and fight tor rhe better.

One's failure at present does not define our failure in

future. As someone said, 'One small crack does not

mean that you are put on the test and

you didn't fall aoart'

Had I quit, would I unaerstand'!!

DANDELION

How fair are thou, soft and tender

That stands so low and humble

Not a soft word uttering to passer by

Not a call, nor a cry, though you long so,

There I saw you one early morn

And fell in love with you and still it's strong

Picking you from the ground was a delight

Easing your heart and bringing me a smile,

There, I blow you of your eternal bound.

The wind strengthen your wings,

Followed a mirthful song.

Oh dandelion, my dandelion

Couldn't you spare me a tiny ground?

And let me put my heavy song?

As the wind sets you free

Let me too be free in glee and thus

Experience my b'issful song.

Let's tie this friendship to a bond

And be one with Mother

And thus sing our eternal sorg

Before we are really gone

Gone forever gone...


DEFINING A

TEACHER

V.

The teacher-student relationship is two-fronted

where even a teacher gets to learn a lot from the

students. Teaching methods have to be in sync with

modern tools which should entice the students.

Teaching now-a-days is not left to the mundane

ways of carrying a load of books and being restricted

to bookish knowledge; Instead but teaching

employs a holistic approach with learning through

questions and drives - especially cognitive study.

Once a man asked God - "when I am walking in

happiness I can see two sets of feet - one mine and

one yours but when I am walking around in sadness

I can see only one set of foot - only mine so why do

you leave me when I am sad." God replied - "you

ignorant soul, when you are walking in happiness

you are correct in seeing two sets of feet but when

you are walking in sadness, the set of feet that you

see is mine. I am carrying you in my arms through

this phase" - this is the essence of a Teacher who has

to show the light to his students at the end of the

tunnel.

As to a painter, with his colour brush, a whirlwind

imagination adds colour to an empty canvas, we

also impart the colour of knowledge to our students.

From the ages of Ramayana and Mahabharata, the

teacher-student relation has taken the form of

divine grace exuding respect; selfless glorification of

the lessons learnt with a tinge of awe. A teacher is

entrusted with the responsibility of not only impart-

ing subject knowledge to his disciple, but also to

build his moral character, fortitude and charisma,

ever so slowly imbibing his own credentials in his

disciple to carry the torch of enlightenment.

For instance, 7 x 8 = 56 is an instant answer in a

mathematics class but 17 x 18 takeslO seconds to be

answered. For 7 x 8 = 56, the image is present in the

cerebrum of the brain but for 17 x 18, the image had

to be drawn.

Teaching techniques should relate images wit

theories and lessons and a student will never forget

the image and the lesson coupled with it. Teaching

should be fun, knowledge oriented with flashes of

imagination with a motive of creating

that image which will make lessons

ridiculously easy to learn and even

easy to impart at a later stage.

Adolescents are always in focus due to their

behavioral issues. Many parents experience aggres-

sive behavioral attitude of their wards. Sometimes

the parents find themselves in difficulties because of

this problem .With little bit of tactfulness, imagina-

tion and understanding, the aggressive behavior of

the adolescents can be changed to pro-social

behavior.

Aggression in itself is not a negative trait. However,

the use of aggression for destructive, self defeating

and antisocial activities become a matter of concern.

The force of aggression which itself is an energy can

be conditioned and channelized towards pro- social

activities. This conversion can be possible by

behavioral modification through behavioral coun-

seling service. Behavioral counseling is capable of

being used for a number of purposes including the

realization of pro-social behavior.

Pro-social behavior in simple terms refers to helping

behavior with the goal of benefitting others. It

includes actions that are co-operative, affectionate

and empathetic towards others'problem. Altruism is

another term often used interchangeably for pro-

social behavior.

A counselor needs to inculcate the triggers of pro-

social behavior in the minds of the adolescents. The

important triggers or catalyst that the counselors

implant in the minds of the adolescents are sense of

empathy, belief in a just world, social responsibility,

that socio-economic and cultural environment

The pro-social behavior of the adolescents not only

does good to others but also to the adolescents

profound effect on the mood of the adolescents.

Such behavior make the adolescents develop

positive mood which in turn lead them to feel good

and do good syndrome. They are motivated to do

more and more such activities.

counselors are taking notice of the disturbed

adolescents, not only to lessen their problems of

to motivate them for pro-social behavior for a win

SELF ESTEE

LIFE

Self-esteem refers to a person's belief about his own worth and value. It also has to do with the feelings

people experience that follows from their sense of worthiness or unworthiness. Self-esteem is important because it heavily influences people's choices

and decisions. In other words, self-esteem serves a motivational function by making it more or less likely that people will take care of themselves and

explore their full potential.

People with high self-esteem are also people who are motivated to take care of themselves and who

persistently strive towards the fulfillment of personal goals and aspirations. People with low self-esteem don't tend to regard themselves as worthy of happy

outcomes or capable of achieving them and so tend to let important things slide by and are less persistent. They may have the same kind of goals as

people with higher self-esteem, but they are generally less motivated to pursue the goals to their conclusion.

Self esteem can be the difference between success

and failure. Esteem can affect your thinking, causing your outlook to be positive or negative. Esteem affects your confidence. Self esteem enables you to

have the right attitude to succeed at work. It affects your happiness. People with high self esteem tend to be more ambitious in what they want to

experience in life.

High self esteem people have a drive to express

themselves and to communicate openly and hon-

estly about their needs and desires. People with high self esteem choose healthy relationships and they

recognize the value of relationships. They treat

others with respect, non judgmental attitude, and fairness. Having a high self esteem is vital for stress relief.

THE VEILED BEAUTY

That was a dark night when I encountered her in the

street of pain and death. She walked along, walked as

though she could be the one untouched by the

torments and the tragedies ahead. I followed her

silently as a child follows her mother. Because some-

thing within me told that she has got the answers for

all the questions which I hold. Thus began a journey

beyond the senses of my mind.

I knew there were many problems in which I found

myself withered like a leaf and this world, where I live,

had become an alien for me, just because I found hard

to accept the way it goes. I was shaken for the many

who had lost their precious life in the ugly hunts of

violence, and was fed up to see the corruption which

had become a life style in every walk of life. I shed tears

on those innocent ones who were cruelly torn off from

their dignity and felt pity for those who thought that

violence is the only way to reach their destiny. The

numbers of natural calamities were a question mark for

what's wrong with us. The many who believed in God

are mocked at, and at times I too wondered in my

lonely world, how could this be? Power and pleasure

seated in the throne where poor are lost. I felt lost along

this journey of life and dried off the energy I have to

withstand it.

As these thoughts were grazing in my mind suddenly I

saw her turning back to me; she smiled at me as

though she knew me and what I was going through. I

looked at her face and her face shone like a moon in

the night. I have never seen as beautiful a woman as

she is. Looking at her I forgot the pain that I carried

along the way. There was a power which drew me to

her grace. In a gentle voice she whispered, "Dear, the

only answer for all these is me.

Then she turned and walked. I was perplexed. Then in

wonder and awe I asked her, "Who are you Oh Veiled

Beauty?" She turned and said "LOVE", and disappeared.

I turned back and walked through the

street again, now with an exuberant

joy, because I had found the answer.

BE A LEADER

The term 'leader' can be defined by different

persons in different ways. This concept of a 'leader'

can be used in different fields. The dictionary

meaning of leader is the person who leads or

commands a group, organization or country. But

there are some persons who think that leadership is

a process of showing power on others and

sometimes use it negatively.

The word 'leader', in a simple sense, means the

person who leads others to the right direction at the

right time. Leader can use power. The leader must

have the ability to motivate the members of the

team to be their best selves. The leaders are using

different ways or techniques of influencing others.

Every leader has his/her own style of guiding the

behavior of their followers. We all know the stories of

great Indian leaders and their sacrifices for our

nation. To be a good leader, one must have some

qualities and self-confidence to lead others or

motivate others.

It is not easy for a leader to achieve success, rather a

leader has to face a lot of hurdles in his or her life to

reach the top of the ladder in pursuit of success.

Ambani had a humble beginning and he was not

face many challenges on his path. He returned to

India to set up his business with his close friend.

Though he differed from Ambani in his views and

decided to split, Ambani did not give up hope and

continued his trade, deciding to even enter the

stock market. His stock market dealings and success

have often been guestioned but the man rose to

power through sheer grit and determination.

Ambani can be taken as an example of one of the

most successful men in the business world, who led

an army of men himself, to attain his glories and also

nurture his army men to attain glories through their

ESSENCE OF

SARASWATI PUJA

Se

tJT

v «•

We celebrate Saraswati Puja on Vasant Panchami.

Vasant means spring and panchami means fifth day.

So the puja is conducted on the fifth of spring. With

Vasant panchami begins the forty days cycle of

spring celebration which ends with Holi. The word

Saraswati is a combination of two words 'Sara

meaning essence and ' swa' meaning self. So the

etymological meaning of the word is to find essence

of oneself, or the real meaning of the self.

Goddess Saraswati is usually seen wearing a white

saree which denotes purity, knowledge and

wisdom. She has four arms one holding a scripture

denoting knowledge. One hand holding a garland

of white flowers denoting spirituality. The third hand

holding ' Veena' or a musical instrument signifying

music and the fourth hand holding a pot of water or

her ability to cleanse all impurities. The swan sitting

beside her signifies ' Moksha' or salvation and the

peocock denoting colour, dance and splendor. She

is usually shown sitting beside a water body which

refers to her being also worshipped as river goddess.

She is thus worshipped as goddess of learning,

wisdom, music, art and dance. She is one of the

power of the holy trinity (Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh-

wara). She is the goddess of the Vedas. She is

mentioned in all ancient Hindu literature. It is

believed that she was standing with her knowledge

and wisdom beside Lord Brahma when He was

creating the universe.

Let us remember the message given by Alvin Toffler

A RESPONSIBLE

CITIZEN

Being educated does not prove that a person is a

good human being or a responsible citizen. There

are differences between an educated man and a

civilized person. All the educated persons are not

responsible and civilized in the so called sophisti-

cated and modern society.

We have to understand the qualities of a good

citizen. Sometimes a less educated man teaches a

lot to the intellectual society. In the rat race of

today's world we forget respect, manners and good

habits etc which are all integral part of being a good

human being. We are more mechanized and

systematic than being generous and honest.

Machines teach us to live a robotic life. We act

according to the society forgetting our self. Mind

tells us to be emotional and live life to the fullest but

our brain does not permit us to do this. We misuse

the blessings of science and make it a curse.

Education is not about bookish knowledge, but all

round development of a person. We should be

responsible towards society. Society comprises of

social animal i.e., man. It is our duty to make it good.

Sometimes a small activity leads a helping hand

towards society. For example after eating something

we throw the left-over on the roads and make it

dirty. There are garbage boxes available on the road.

We can easily do this. We pamper ourselves with so

many things which are not at all necessary.

Sometimes we can donate our things to the poor

and orphans. We give to those who already have

CONFRONTING

NEGATIVITY

-

The world of today is the world of scientific development and material progress all around. However, the fact which remains so harsh in our life

is that our material advancement has not yet con- firmed a healthy life which largely depends on a healthy mind. We cannot but ignore the fact that the lifestyle is becoming more mechanical now a days

where busy-ness prevails over our life. As a result, the emotional bonding among family, friends, neigh-

bors etc. is some where lost. Hence, the obvious outcome of such a kind of mechanical busy life is frustration leading to negativity or negative outlook towards life.

Negativity leads to more negativity and the result is a malaise which makes you feel crippled to lift yourself up. It is scientifically proved that negative

attitudes and feelings of helplessness and hopeless- ness can upset the body's hormonal balance and deplete the brain chemicals required for feelings of

happiness, as well as have a damaging impact on the immune system. New scientific understandings have also identified the process by which chronic

stress can actually decrease our lifespan. Poorly

managed or repressed anger or feeling of hostility is

are also related to a slew of health conditions.

However, to check the negativity in our lives, we

need to prioritize bad over good. In today's busy life,

we often spend time ruminating over the minor frustrations we experience such as bad traffic, a disagreement with a loved one etc; and thus, we

miss many chances to experience the beautiful aspects of life and to feel it with a sense of gratitude. To do away with the negativity and experience a

positive, harmonious, emotional state, we need to experience three positive emotions- forgiveness, gratitude and emotional flexibility. In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr: "We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of

the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.

There is somegood in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover

this, we will be less prone to hate our

enemies."

GENDER

DISCRIMINATION

Gender bias is commonly considered to be discrimination and hatred towards people based on their gender rather than their individual merits, but

can also be referred to any and all systemic differe-

ntiations based on the gender of the individuals.

Gender bias can be referred to subtly different

beliefs or attitudes, namely, - the belief that one gender or sex is inferior to or more valuable than the other which is female or male chauvinism; the

attitude of misogyny or misandry as well as the

attitude of imposing a limited and/or false notion of

many; but how many ol" us think about the other part

ofthe society where they need our help.

A big question is how we are going to change the society? This is not a one man job. Every one of us

should take a step forward to bhng a rapid change to the world by educating not only our hearts but also our minds. When hearts and minds are educated, then only

we can sen a light of change in the society. So let us say together 'I AM 'THE CHANGE.'

GENDER

DISCRIMINATION

ender bias is commonly considered to be

discrimination and hatred towards people based on their gender rather than tfieir individual mnrits, but can also be referred to any and all systemic differe-

ntiations based on the gender ofthe individuals.

Gender bias can be referred to subtly different beliefs or attitudes, namely, - the oelief that one gender or sex is inferic to or more valuable than the

other which is female or male chauvinism; the attitude of misogyny or misandry as well as the

attitude of imposing a limited and/or false notion of

* YOUR FRIENDS:

YOUR POWER HOUSE

asculinity on males and a limited and/or false notion of femininity on females, or vice versa; a feeling of distrust towards the opposite or same sex as a whole.

Gender biassist's belief, as a part of essentialism, holds that individuals can be understood or judged based solely on the characteristics of the group to which they belong-in this case, their gender group, as males or females. Certain forms of gender discrimination are illegal in many countries, but nearly all countries have laws that give special rights, privileges, or responsibili- ties to one sex or to two sexes.

The view that men are superior to women is one form of gender biasness. This form is often called male chauvinism; chauvinism in a broader sense in referring to any extreme and unreasonable partisanship that is accompanied by malice and hatred towards a rival group. A similar term is gynophobia, which refers to fears of females or feminity.

Historically, in many patriarchal societies, females have been and are viewed as the "weaker sex."

Women's lower status can be seen in cases in which females were not even recognized as persons under the law of the land.

The feminist movement promotes women's rights to end sexism against females by addressing issues such as equality under the law, political representation of females, access to education and employment and female victims of domestic violence. The view that women are superior to men is also a form of gender bias. Sexism against males has been referred to as "reverse sexism".

But as such worldwide, especially in Third World countries gender bias is used to describe discrimination against women. However countries like India are making huge efforts in combating this evil by passing and implementing new laws, and giving certain privileges to women. But if this evil has to be eliminated from society, men will have to make efforts from their side also, so that women can live in an equally paced world.

Making friends is an art in life. One has to find the

time and means to master this fine life-giving art of

one's life. This ability can be attained by loving and

caring for people around you and understanding

others as they want to be understood by us.

Nobody can impose or demand 'friendship'. No one

can say, "hello, we are friends, from today" but

friendship just happens between the two or three

individuals who share the same line of thoughts.

However, sometimes we receive it as an unexpected

gift. At times, we are moved by the magnetic

presence of some people. What so ever it might be,

a genuine friend is a true treasure of great value. This

is because when we gain a friend once, then we

have him/her as a friend forever.

There might be understandings-misunderstandings,

pains-gains, and mutual growth in the process of

finding this power house. The life and growth of

friendship is deeply rooted in the mutual trust of the

friends. Many people will walk in and out of our lives

but only true friends will leave their footprints in our

hearts. Thus goes the saying, "To handle ourselves

we need head but to handle others we need heart."

People may live together and may also share

togetherness but the companionship and friend-

ship depend on whether their hearts are together or

not. Remember, proximity of heart is much more

important in friendship than any physical proximity

between you and yourfriend/s.

Why do you want to be a Teacher?" This will obviously be one of the questions paused to a would-

be teacher who goes for an interview. Many a candidate would have answered this tough question

and got through the interview. This is a question that I would like to ask all the teachers and would be

teachers of our Institute. When we go to Google search and look for the reasons that make people

choose the teaching profession, there are so many answers. The major reasons given are: 1) to work with young people; 2) to make a difference in others'lives;

3) variety in the job; 4) teaching is fun; 5) inspired by other teachers; 6) love of the subject. If we make a

survey of the teachers in our school and college, these and other equally valid reasons will emerge!

All of us would have our own favorite teachers, whom we recall with fondness. There are some of them whom we would like to appreciate, others we would

like to admire and some others we would like to keep as our models. And yet, there are some unique

teachers who stand above the rest because of their passion for teaching. These are the kind of teachers

who transform the students and change their future.

More than transmitting knowledge, teaching is about inspiring others to discover their purpose and

potential.

Being a good teacher is as much about passion as it

is about reason. It's about not only motivating students to learn, but teaching them how to learn,

and doing so in a mannerthat is relevant, meaningful, and memorable. It is about having a passion for teaching and conveying that passion to everyone,

most importantly to our students. A teacher has to be someone who feels suffocated unless he or she does not teach, unless she or he is with the students! A person who cannot feel more at home anywhere else

There is the story of a disciple who wanted to lear how to be successful. But the disciple was not

passionate enough. The Guru takes him to the river and forcefully dips the head of the disciple in the water. The disciple struggles for air and comes up at

the last moment as the Guru loosens grip. The guru asks the disciple what is it that he longed for when he was under the water struggling for breath. He says "I

wanted to breathe".This could be a beautiful example for all those would-be teachers. Do we long to be teachers with the same intensity that the disciple had

as he was struggling for breath? Do we really feel that unless I am teacher, I am not fulfilling my purpose in life? If the answer is yes, I am destined to be a great teacher!

It is good for all of us to look into ourselves and examine the motives for our choosing to be teachers.

Not all reasons may be in conformity with the 'passion for teaching'that I am speaking about. Yet,

the period of training to be teachers is a time to

increase the intensity of our passion for this noblest of all professions. We need to realize that we as teachers mould the future of our children and through them

the future of the world! Love for teaching and love for our students should be a fire in our hearts that

continues to burn every moment of our life as

teachers.

The aim and vision of Holy Cross College is to create integrated global citizens and world class professionals, who will work for a more just, equitable and

compassionate society. Blessed Basil Moreau the founder of the community of Holy Cross wrote: "I have always been convinced that the first duty of every teacher is to produce good human beings;

society has a greater need for people of values than it has for scholars." Only a passionate teacher in love with teaching and the students can achieve these

splendid ideals that the founder has set for the Institute. It also helps us to answer the question that we need to often ask

ourselves: 'Why be a Teacher?"

EDUCATION IS LIFE LIFE IS EDUCATION

Education and learning are lifelong process of

journey. To do something in life, it is important that it should be more than fun! Education is not just a preparation for life, but it is life. Individuals who stop learning will rapidly lose what they had once learnt.

So, to succeed, we need to go for continuous learning because life is a mixture of many subjects,

and experiences at the same time.

Education should be enjoyed and looked forward to.

It is only education which gives meaning to life not

just for the sake of knowledge but for skill development. So like continuous (Learners, we need to develop by expanding our experiences. We gain experiences by doing things, and reflecting upon them, and not through the process of memorization

of subjects taught in schools, colleges and in universities). That is why it is always said that to be

successful in life, what we need is education, not literacy and degrees.

But the problem with the term 'education' is that when we talk about it, people often confuse it with schooling. Many people think of places like schools

or colleges when they hear the word 'education'.

They might also relate this word with particular jobs like that of a teacher or a tuitor in order to identify its meaning. The problem with this frame of mind is

that when we want to help people to learn something, the ways the schools and teachers

operate cannot be termed as 'education'. They have been forcefully pushed into 'schooling' - trying to

drill learning into people according to some plan, often drawn up by others. Paulo Freire (1973) referred

to this as 'banking'- making deposits of knowledge. Such 'schooling' quickly descends into treating learners like objects, things to be acted upon rather than people to be related to.

Education, as we understand it here, is a process of inviting truth and possibility, of encouraging and giving time for discovery. It is, as John Dewey (1916)

puts it, a social process - 'a process of living and not

a preparation for future living'. In this view, educators look to act with people rather than preparing them

for future. Their task is to help people to grow (which is, however, related to the Greek notion of'educate'),

to bring out or to develop their potentialities.

So, we can define education as the wise, hopeful and respectful cultivation of learning, undertaken in

the belief that all should have the chance to share in life. Education is an essential human virtue, a necessity of society, basis of good life and sign of freedom. Education is important for the integration

of separate entities. In fact, it is cultivating hopeful environments and relationships for

learning throughout life.

one and that is our own selves. In our busy schedule we should keep some time for communicating with our own selves and all of us know this fact very well

but unable to do this. Actually many times we want to do this but in this noisy and busy life schedule we are unable to find out our own selves. In such situation one of our best friends can help to meet with our own selves and that is silence.

Silence is our best friend. In silence we can communicate with our true self. Silence is the best moment when we can listen to the sound of nature.

The world is full of noises so it is not easy to have silence. The external artificial noises obstruct us from having silence. But if we want we can protect

ourselves from this noisy situation just by escaping from the noisy situations. But the toughest job is to

make ourselves free from our inner noise. The natural quietness of our mind is disturbed by our inner noise. These inner noises are created by our thought process and belief system. There are so

many noisy stimuli in our minds like- our unhappy memories, worries, failures, unhealthy competitions

and so on. We nurture these noisy stimuli by thinking about this and we cannot welcome our

best friend silence.

Let go is the best way to make our minds free from all these noisy stimuli. We should let go all those thoughts and beliefs which make our minds heavy and disturbing. It is just foolishness to keep all the

thoughts and happenings in our minds which have no use in our lives at all. Actually nothing is permanent in our life. In fact life itself is not

permanent. Everything is temporary and change- able. What is right today may become wrong tomorrow. The thing which is more expecting one for us today may become the most rejecting one tomorrow. Everything changes as our thoughts, our

feelings, our expectations and what not. In such a situation 'let go'should be the best way which works

as a cleaner of all the disturbing elements of mind. So let's live with a calm and peaceful mind.

Over half a century ago, Wolfgang Ostwald coined

the term the land of neglected dimensions to

describe the range of sizes between molecular and

macroscopic within which occur most colloidal

particles. The term 'neglected particles'might have

been applied equally well to the world of polymer

molecules; the high molecular weight compounds

are so important to man and his modern technol-

ogy. It is not until the 1930's that the science of high

polymers began to emerge and the major growth of

the technology of these materials came even later.

Yet today polymer dimensions are not neglected

any more, for industries associated with polymeric

materials employ more than half of all American

chemists and chemical engineers.

A polymer is a large molecule built up by the

repetition of small, simple chemical units. The repeat

unit of the polymer is usually equivalent. Gradually

the study of polymer properties began. It was

realized that the polymer molecules are many times

larger than those of ordinary substances. In the

search by the early organic chemists for pure

compounds in high yields many polymeric sub-

stances were discovered and quickly discarded as

oils, tars, or undistillable residues.

NATTA first recognized the presence of stereo spe-

cific regularity in vinyl polymers. He received the

Nobel Prize in 1963. Polymers are used for many

purposes like in rubbers, derivatives of cellulose

synthetic polymers etc.

ATTITUDE

A REPORT ON THE ORIENTATION

PROGRAMME "CALL FOR

ONE ANOTHER"

\

.A

I've got an attitude; but what is attitude?

Attitude is nothing but the key to success.

If anybody asks me what I call success?

Anyone having positive attitude that's what I call is

success.

I think about it all the time,

I just do everything cause I believe it every time.

I want to carry an attitude of good intention,

And I want to spread it in the atmosphere all the

time.

If a person would like to win, but think about

negative attitude,

It's almost certain he won't.

But sooner or later the man who wins,

Is the person who thinks he can.

Life is what you make it, where more is there to say,

So, be positive, don't let doubt you have, get into

your way.

There is an amazing discovery that I found out in

the first year B.Ed orientation for freshers which I

would name as the "call for one another", held from

4th-8th July 2016, in the seminar Hall of Department

of Teacher Education, Durjoynagar, Agartala.

The orientation program "call for one another" was

for three consecutive days in which we leant about

the power of meditation, under the guidance of Dr.

Fr. Emmanuel Kallarackal, CSC, Principal, Holy Cross

College. This meditation session has taught me the

meaning of relaxation, has boosted my confidence,

given me energy and nurtured me to bring in

balance in my life. The teaching faculty had also

given us encouraging motivational insights through

their orientation classes. The students actively took

part in the orientation classes and had made it a very

useful interactive session where they exchanged

ideas and information with one another.

The main aim of the B.Ed orientation classes was to

introduce us to the philosophy, ethos and rules of

the College as well as to orient us to the field of

teaching as we are teacher trainees. Through B.Ed

training, our desire is to be powerful instruments

using the power of a teacher to change lives by

lifting the present generation to greater heights and

also to prepare ourselves to handle the next. The

three day orientation sessions were also fun-filled

with some group games and songs and enlightened

us and helped us to develop greater

insights to face the challenges posed

to us by the present and the upcom-

REVIEW YOUR

THOUGHTS

People have different opinions about how one

looks at the world, how one analyses things around

them and in their lives and how one interprets life,

people and their activities. Here I would like all of us

to think differently and realize the essence of what

we think, believe and what we should actually think

and believe.

Two of the most debated issues in all our lives are

our concerns about our looks - good or bad; and

about our expenditures, which practically exceed

the budget we always fix for ourselves. Let us have a

quick review as to how they should be perceived by

us in our lives.

BEAUTY is beyond physical anatomy:

Once I have heard a certain surgeon's view when he

said "If the distance between your upper-lip and

your nose is the same as the size of your eye...wow

You are beautiful / gorgeous / handsome.Jf there's

a difference of a millimeter yours is an average

beauty... If the difference is two millimeters and

above, you are ugly".

Well, that is his view, but this raises a question in my

mind as to...

Is BEAUTY based on your/our physical anatomy?

Many of us and the filmy/cinematic world have

reduced to great extent the term 'beauty' to mere

physical appearance when attributing to a human

person. But what is true about beauty is that, beauty

carries with it virtues. And limiting beauty to what is

pleasing to the eyes and physical appearance would

mean an unjustified attribution of the term. Real

beauty for a person necessarily involves beauty of a

soul which necessitates virtuous living. What is the

use of that physical beauty when a person's soul is

but a grimy filth?

Thus, my imaginary beautician has this to say:

'The more virtuous you become, the more beautiful

you are,

As you entertain vices, your beauty gradually fades

away...

If then by vice you have lost your beauty,

Give it up and regain your beauty...

This is my beauty tip:

Be virtuous and maintain your beauty.

In the first week of every month we get our pay and

it is on the last day of the month when we review

our expenditure, we find that 10,000/- (approx..) was

spent not for yourself or family but for others, of

which some amount was spent for the medicines

you bought for a patient who didn't have money

and some amount went for a few beggars on whom

you had some concern while you strolled through

the streets; some amount was also spent as

Temple/church / offertory, some as donation for a

good cause etc..

If these were your spending details and you have no

regrets whatsoever and you do not expect for a

return favour, then my friends I say, and so will your

soul that

... It is okay to tag you with these words: "You are

beautiful and generous".

Fr. Lawrence D, B.Ed 1st year.

REVIEW YOUR

THOUGHTS

People have different opin'ons about how one

looks at the world, hov\, one analyses things around

them and in their lives and how one interprets life,

people and their activities. Here I would like all of us

to think differently and realize the essence of what

we think, believe and what we should actually think

and believe.

Two of the most debated issues in all our lives are

our concerns about our looks - good or bad; and

about our expenditures, which practically exceed

the budget we always fix for ourselves. Let us have a

quick review as to how they should be perceived by

us in our lives.

BEAUTY is beyond physical anatomy:

Once I have heard a certain surgeon's view when he
