Post Art Beat, Pre-Imprint

10 Dec. Art Beat is over. Post Mortem is yet to done to appreciate the good that has come about and to learn for the future from whatever we could have done still better.

In the meantime, Science students are sweating it out in light and night to make Imprints better. It will be kicked off on Monday morning, with Mr Vinaya Hegde as the Chief Guest. Be there at 9.00 a.m.

The enthusiastic students were in the campus late Saturday night (even after 10 pm) preparing  for this great event. Here is wishing ALL THE VERY BEST, to our Science friends!

Mixed Day at SAC

9 Dec. It was a mixed day: Art Beat was in full swing. I was delighted to see my students in the lime light. I was extremely keen to watch them perform in the much-anticipated cultural programme. But the inordinate delay just could not digested. That got me absolutely on my nerves!

Actually, I stayed back till 3.50 p.m., ONLY to see my  students perform, to appreciate their efforts and talents. I negotiated with an EXTREMELY    IMPORTANT appointment timing. But, when you delay a programme by 45 precious minutes, can anyone who values time, be at ease???

Moreover, I had an extremely important appointment to keep (at least I must keep my time!). With great hesitation, I had to walk out to keep my time.

I me Dr Manju Singh, Director of University Grants Commission, Karnataka & Kerala Zone. She was very very polite, all ears to what we (Prof. Eric Patrao & Yours Truly) had to speak.

Hers was an encouraging reply. “Apply for more and more research projects,” was her chorus. About our workshop, well, it was a mixed bag. But there was something precious, for me to carry back home.

From meeting Dr Manju Singh, I rushed back to Art Beat Valedictory. Reached just in time for the very last word of Art Beat “Thank you”.

Then on, it was high voltage dance, dance, dance my high volume music. I loved watching hundreds of these youngsters dancing on one floor – all in one spirit. I wish I too could dance like them!!!
