The Campus Life-

Vibes and Hues

Life is undefinable in a categorical sense, and
therein lies its mystery as well as beauty. As
we move along the journey of life, we come
across uneven and unexpected tracks, posing
ever-new challenges. It appears to be a motley
of uncertainties and relativities, rather than
absolutes and certitudes. Life is circumscribed
by more of unknowns and unknowables than
knowns and knowables. Yet, humans are
uniquely gifted with rationality and imagination,
to break-out barriers, to discover new pathways,
to innovate ‘new normals’ towards a stable,
sustainable and meaningful framework of life.

The Covid pandemic unravelled an unprecdented vista of life, with whole
of humanity struggling for lives and livelihoods, and millions of population
lost their lives and beloveds. It was the beginning of a new normal. Scientists,
health professionals and social workers toiled round the clock to serve
people afflicted with enormous misery. We all witnessed how humaneness
emerged to face up to the challenges. Scientific and technical innovations
and interventions helped in tiding over the crisis and bring back normalcy.
It is all about adaptation to the new trajectory, with the adoption of evolving
technology.
The academic community of teachers, students and support staff learnt
to cope with the new normal of online platform for teaching, learning,
assessment and all aspects of education process. During the crisis, the Best
in us blossomed, and we weathered the storm with equanimity and maturity,
and all of us succeeded to become exemplars of crisis management.
Academic life / student life is our unforgettable and unrecoverable span in
our life-time, and when we leave the campus after studies, it is going to be
a perennial nostalgia of loss of the precious saga of life. As the near-normal
times are back again in the college, we shall celebrate as if it were all vibes
and hues - learning, singing, dancing, acting, art-working, sporting and
socializing, and always endeavoring to create the ambience of camaraderie,
and fellowship to extend help to the colleagues and the needy. Yes, all the
gradients of life are smoothened and streamlined by the vibes and hues
of campus life. We shall be grateful to the Divine, to our parents, teachers,
colleagues and all those who are responsible for what we are today.
We shall prepare ourselves to be competent and committed towards service
of humanity.
