OSLE MEET..:

At 4.30 pm, had our OSLE study group meet @ the Botany Dept. Around twelve of us were there, and Prof.Dany gave a quite scholarly presentation of his school of thought, his baby, which he has christened Rhythmocentricity.

Claiming that he has divided it into two categories, one as Oiko rhythm, n the other as Bio Rhythm, he expounded on this argument thru Critical theory down the ages. Dr.Nirmal, Dr.Narasimhan, Prof.Jojon were among those present. At 6.30, i had to excuse myself for my evening classes.

An Evening with Jane Goodall - @ the British Council - 22 Jan 2007

The Deputy High Commissioner was there..., and the Key Speaker of the evening Ms.Jane Goodall was soon on the dais - and she began her forty five minute talk with a beautiful onomatopoeic sound of the chimps. She said that every individual chimp had its own distinct voice.

Excerpts from her inspiring talk..:

"My loving mother encouraged my interest in animals" she began. "So i was about eight, when i started reading Dr.Doolittle, who spoke the language of animals, and i too desired passionatley to learn it, and i'd even pretended to my friends that i understood and recognised animal language. " she said to an eager crowd of passionate animal enthusiasts and research scholars.

"Then i fell to reading Tarzan, king of the apes. When i expressed my desire in animals, at that time, it was considered an absurd idea since i was a girl. Everyone said, "Why dont you do something else?"

"When you work hard and never give up, you will surely find a way," she said to rapt attention of ardent listeners.

Jane Goodal then gave a detailed narration of her life story.

Just think about the different choices we make each day in our lives. Think how it will impact the people, how it impacts the animals etc.

Ms.Jane finally summed up her lecture on 'Reason for Hope' in the following words:

If you can see with your eyes, feel with your heart, with an indomitable spirit within you, you can achieve anything - and almost nothing will be difficult for you in this world.

"Every problem is being tackled by a person or a group of dedicated passionate people who are prepared to risk their life or lose their life for the purpose. That's the reason for hope in this planet," concluded Jane Goodall.

PS: Well, obviously, it was an evening worth its time and effort @ the British Council, Chennai.

Well, anticipating a high turnout, we had reached the venue much ahead of time @ around four twenty itself. I took along with me Murali (III Stats), Solo (II Phil), Micosteen (II Phil) etc in our car. Met up with Dr.Nirmal, Rayson, Prof.Cherian etc and reserved seats for them too, as luckily we could make it a bit early.

A SMILE in Appreciating Others...!

Let others cheer the winning man,
There's one I hold worth while;
'Tis he who does the best he can,
Then loses with a smile.
Beaten he is, but not to stay
Down with the rank and file,
That man will win some other day,
who loses with a smile.

I Wish...!

"I wish I were big enough honestly to admit all my shortcomings; Brilliant enough to accept praise without it making me arrogant; Tall enough to tower above deceit; Strong enough to welcome criticism; Compassionate enough to understand human frailties; Wise enough to recognize my mistakes; Humble enough to appreciate greatness; Staunch enough to stand by my friends; Human enough to be thoughtful of my neighbors; and righteous enough to be devoted to the love of God."

Our Deepest Condolences:

We deeply mourn the sudden demise of Ms.Vaishnavi, III BA English in a tragic road accident yesterday. Most of us, as a Dept, went to her house to pay our last respects to the departed soul. May her soul rest in peace. ! A very charming and dynamic girl, she made everyone around lively and she never hurt anybody.

Jan 12, DO - I - (B)Log

Everyone in class had his/her newspaper with him/her. Hacked today's jumble, and Jan-Feb, and Mar-April together came out with the answer. Then, moved on to the editorial part and discussed words and phrases in two editorials. Then, moved on to pronunciation and the nitty gritty of reading aloud.

Taught my GC class the intricacies of lateral thinking. Gave them instances like, "imgaine we have time-bound money, like your money expires by June 07." Using the PMI parameters in Lateral Thinking, asked them to come out with possible answers. It was a phenomenal hit among the students and they hit it off immediately. 'All cars should be painted yellow from next month' was the next hypothesis and a lot more. Students came up with very creative ideas and we had a very meaningful and lively interaction together. It's a good class.
