Writing, Learning, and Guiding

This morning, our Department of English conducted an essay writing competition. The topic given was Love, Power, and Morality: The Timeless Concerns of Literature. Students from MA and third-year UG were allowed to take part in this competition. I felt genuinely excited to participate because it was a wonderful opportunity to express my thoughts and  showcase my ideas.

The competition was held for two hours, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. I used the two hours to write my essay carefully. I wrote about how love, power, and morality appear repeatedly in literature and how these themes stay meaningful in every period of history. After completing my essay, I felt satisfied because I was able to write everything clearly within the given time.

After finishing the competition, I attended my remaining classes. During the last two classes, the professor taught about mythology in literature. I learned how myths are used in stories and how they influence culture and beliefs. The classes were very engaging, and I enjoyed listening to the explanations and examples. I understood the concepts well and gained a clearer idea of the role of myths in literature.

Later, when I returned home, I relaxed for some time by listening to my favourite songs, which helped me feel calm and refreshed. After that, I took tuition as usual and guided my students, helping them understand the concepts clearly.

Overall, today went well. I participated in an academic competition, learned about mythology in literature and how myths influence stories, culture, and beliefs, and spent some peaceful, relaxing time for myself by listening to music and completing my responsibilities at home. I felt genuinely happy because everything went smoothly, and I was able to manage everything successfully.

Blooming Beginnings

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,...
