Study Holidays

Every semester, we used to have study holidays before our exams, and this time it was the same for our fifth semester. During these study holidays, I spent my time in a peaceful and meaningful way. I started preparing for my syllabus, helping my mom with daily chores, and continuing my tutoring. Every morning, I set a small target for my syllabus and tried to complete it at my own pace. It felt good to sit with my books, revise my lessons, and prepare myself for the upcoming exams without any pressure. I also made sure to spend more time with my family, talking, laughing, and sharing simple everyday moments together. Those moments made my study holidays even more special.

Apart from studying, I also continued tutoring my students. Teaching them made me feel productive and happy. It was a good way to stay connected with studies and also help others learn. In between my study hours and tuition classes, I helped my mom with household work. Doing small things like cooking, cleaning and folding clothes made me feel happy because I could share her workload a little. She was also glad to see me managing everything so well.

But it was not just about studying and helping. I also gave myself some time to relax. I spent my evenings listening to music, watching a few favorite shows, and simply enjoying the calm moments. These small breaks helped me feel refreshed and kept me active for the next day. Overall, this study leave taught me how to balance my time between learning, teaching, helping, and relaxing. It showed me that even during busy times, we can still find peace and joy in small, simple moments of everyday life.

Blooming Beginnings

Image
One fine morning at MCC, I paused near a bush of flowers. My friend took a picture of me standing there, but for me it was never about the photo. It was about the quiet moment of admiration. The flowers stood in their natural beauty, needing nothing more, and just looking at them gave me a calm feeling. That pause reminded me how even a small act of noticing can bring peace to the heart. Later, in the evening, the same sense of admiration returned to me in my own garden. I usually water the plants each day, but that evening I wanted to do something more. I went out and brought home a few new flowers like bougainvillea, marigold, roses and some others. These are common in Tamil Nadu, yet each carries its own charm. Planting them did not feel like work. Instead, it gave me galdness. I admired the small patch of color in my garden, and it felt like the same peace I had experienced that morning near the bush at MCC. Both moments, though different, carried the same lesson. Admira...

A World Inside a Flask

Image
One fine day in my General Elective Botany class, I held something in my hand that changed the way I look at plants. It was not a pot, not a seed, not even soil. It was a simple glass flask covered with foil, and inside it, tiny green plants were growing. The flask looked ordinary, but what it carried was extraordinary.  This method, as my professor explained, is called plant tissue culture. From just a small piece of a plant, new plants can grow in a sterile glass container filled with nutrients. Holding it in my hands felt like holding a secret garden. Before this class, I always believed plants could grow only in soil. But the tissue culture flask taught me something different: plants can grow even without soil, as long as they are given the right environment. A nutrient medium inside the glass, combined with careful conditions, helps the plants thrive. It amazed me that science has found ways to multiply plants like this. It is useful not only for agriculture, but a...

Exploring My College Library

Image
I visit the library almost every day after the classes, but for my CA2 assignment, I decided to make a vlog about it. After my classes, I spent around two to three hours taking this vlog, capturing the different sections of our library and the way students use them. Through this, I wanted to show how important the library is in our daily college life. The first thing that greets us is the register at the entrance. Every student must write their name, department, and entry and exit times, finishing with a signature. It’s a simple rule, but it creates discipline and reminds us that the library is a shared space for learning. On the ground floor, there are two reading halls. Reading Hall One is where students quietly read, and along its walls, several boards display daily newspapers like The Hindu, Times of India, and Dina Thanthi. Just beside it, Reading Hall Two offers shelves of books from almost every subject like history, chemistry, zoology, botany, literature etc.. Then,...
