I MA English Class

For any professor, the classroom is more than just a lecture hall; it is a sanctuary of learning, a collaborative space where curiosity thrives, dialogue happens, and the darkness of ignorance is dispelled.

This is why, even as this semester draws to a close, I wish to write a lovely little note of thanks to my dearest students of the I MA English Class, who had the greatest regard for their teacher, and attended his classes with such enthusiasm and passion. 

Interestingly, not once did I tell them in the entire semester - that, attending my classes is compulsory or mandatory. 😊

Well, students of the I MA English class in MCC are going to write their very first End of Semester Examinations tomorrow in Madras Christian College.

At the end of this first semester, I am so proud to see the following students turning up for their classes so sincerely, throughout the semester, with an attendance of above 70%

Week after week, regardless of Monday morning blues, looming deadlines, or uncooperative weather, these cherubic students were there in my class, and what’s more! They settled in, even minutes before the class began.

Not just physically present, but present - seated, notebooks open, ready to engage with their professor.

Those curious eyes, with that deep quest for knowledge, and to quote Tagore, ‘with tireless striving, stretching their arms towards perfection!’

It is a testament not only to their respect for their professor’s time but, more importantly, to their commitment to their own education.

They have understood that true learning isn’t a one-time search on Google or on AI. They have realised that, true learning is a journey! A cumulative journey! An atomic journey!

Your presence in class makes us – your professors - feel a profound sense of gratitude and validation, proving that when students show up, great teaching becomes effortless, and great learning becomes inevitable.

This excellent attendance record is the most eloquent compliment a teacher could ever receive. It is proof that the future is in truly dedicated hands.

Thank you for showing up - truly showing up - every single time.

I wish you the very best in your exams and in all your future endeavours. Let your sweet, lovely light continue to shine! 😊

And for the rest of you, please try to be regular to your classes. It is your duty! Your most sacred duty in your PG days of your college life here in MCC.

PS: At the very beginning of their first (this) semester in MCC, I gave them seven lovely words under the mnemonic term – ADMIRER!

These 30 lovely students (out of a class strength of 45) are true testaments to this rubric!

So what pray is ADMIRER? 😊 You may want to read more about ADMIRER, HERE on our past post.
