The 'Early to Class Club' on a Roll! ❤️

The ETC Club Gets More Vibrant By the Day!

Special Kudos | The ETC Club

20th February 2024 | Congratulations Paper Presenters

Today, was a day of thrills! 

I was travelling by the Patna Super-Fast from Aluva to Chennai, and the train was supposed to chug into Perambur Railway station by 5.20 this morning!

However, to my little consternation, the train got delayed by a full one hour! Since the train doesn’t come to Chennai Central, I had to alight at Perambur, and take a taxi homeward. 

You see, I had a class at 8.30 and I can’t afford to be late, I told myself! 😊

Luckily, the driver understood the urgency in my words, and cruised through the traffic of Perambur effortlessly, without being rash! I wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge his kindness yet again!

He was quite gentle, especially during the turns. For this I really appreciated him from my heart when he dropped me at home, and then gave him an added extra tip as well. He felt so happy.

Then, after my bath and dressing up, I had to literally raise the throttle a wee bit extra 😉 on the car, and thankfully, I was in college by 8.14 am itself.

By 8.20, while entering the QSC Building, I spotted Prof. Aruna also entering the building. En route, talking to ma’am, I then entered the II MA Class, and to my sweet surprise, I was overjoyed to see the class almost full!

Was so delighted to see the students having arrived early to their class today, and some were seen reading books, and some others busy writing something!

Giving us here, on our blog, the names of the lovely members of the Early to Class Club today!

Special kudos to you our dear students. I am so happy to see this commitment from your side. Three cheers for you all! Two more have promised to join the ETC Club from the next class on! 😊

Here’s to celebrating the vibrant students who made it ahead of time to their classes today!

Also, special congratulations to Joanna Obed, II MA English, Helna Rajan, Cleanson and Jeeva Minu of I MA English for having presented your papers in the International Conference at CTTE College for Women, Perambur, Chennai. 

Keep up the spirit dear students. We are proud of you!

After my first hour class with them, I had my cup of coffee at the Staff Tiffin Room, and then jumped into my car, and cruised my way through the ever-busy-o-busy GST Road 😊 to Loyola College, Chennai, for the National-Level Writing Workshop organised by the Department of English – Shift II, Loyola College. 

It took me almost 70 minutes to reach Loyola from MCC! Thankfully I was in time!

I was so delighted to see our own student Oviya who’s now a vibrant Professor with Loyola! So happy that she introduced me to the audience, especially by quoting from my Literary Criticism class with them. So proud of you, Prof. Oviya. Keep shining!

I spoke to the audience comprising students from Loyola and other City Colleges, on the ‘Nuances of Academic Writing’. It was a very rewarding session. Congratulations to Dr. Shirmila, Prof. Oviya and their vibrant team.

On the whole, a very rewarding day!
