So proud of you all dear students!

Added kudos to the II MA English Class - to the special three - Jaysudha, Lalitha and Joanna, for adding two more committed learners to their class. 

Sangeetha and Nithya! Kudos to you dear students (Profs)! So proud of you! 

Also, I’m happy to note that a few vibrant thinkers have promised to start on their blogging challenge, today.

They include, Nitish Kumar, III BA English, Prakalya, III BA English, a surprise acceptance of the challenge from a vibrant guest we had today – Dhivya Shree!

So happy to note that Jayshree has also started blogging today. 

Dhivya has promised to take up the daily blogging challenge for the next 30 days.

Today, at 3.30 pm was glad to be the External Examiner for the Viva of Mr. Harishankar, PhD Scholar, IIT Madras.

His thesis was on ‘Deconstructing Oriental Life: Decoding narrative of ‘Imperial Justice’ in the writings of Captain Philip Meadows Taylor’.

Harishankar gave a wonderful defence of his thesis, and he also answered our questions convincingly. Congratulations to Dr. Divya, his vibrant guide.

One of the questions I had asked him was, ‘What’s the difference between Eugenics and Scientific Racism’, and he answered it quite well.

So happy to meet Dr. Aysha, Professor, IITM, Dr. Bhoopathi, Dr. Dhanavel among other friends as well. 

I also recommended that he publish his thesis as a book.

Today, I am also happy to note that Jayshree wrote her first blog post on Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

A rewarding day in every way today!
