Examinations on a Sunday
29 April. The Campus is abuzz with activity, what if it is a Sunday? ICFAI & AIEEE examinations were held. Good many teachers were seen the campus, besides over a thousand students.
We had some young Jesuit Brothers in the Campus to learn something about basics of media and soft skills like how to conduct campus, tips for leaders… Yours truly spent a day with them analysing a Kannada classic and then sharing some tips on conducting group activities…

But be prepared for jammed lines! I already tried and got jammed!
It may be recalled that during the last year, the minister had goofed up a lot, by unilaterally announcing that the results of PUC would be declared, and the results were postponed many a time. And when finally they were declared, there more errors than the correct data! It had led to desperation, suicide of a few students, and widesprea condemnation from the public.
This time we hope things are moving in better direction. And everything will be fine!

Basava Jayanthi: Holiday
20 April. It was a holiday today on the occasion of Basava Jayanthi, the birthday of Basaveshwara. He was 12th century saint born in north karnataka, who revolutionised society in Karnataka. Born a brahmin, he fought against the same caste system; one of the founders of Veerashaivism, which initially preached and practised a casteless and egalitarian society.
That meant, we have a holiday all over Karnataka. And SAC, of course, did not have the usual sprightliness …
