The Alpha...

இதனை இதனால் இவன்முடிக்கும் என்றாய்ந்து
அதனை அவன்கண் விடல்.
This beautiful couplet fit perfectly for the ceremony where the office-bearers of the SU took charge officially.
Preparations were fervent and energetic on the morning of 6th July 2010. Students rushed around purposefully, doing all odd jobs, taking care of every nuance and rehearsing, so that the ultimate event would be a grand success.
Come 11:15 a.m. and the F-Block Assembly hall started filling up; it was packed, in a matter of a few minutes.
The function kicked off well with a soulful prayer song. Dr. Arumuganathan, the beloved Dean of Student Affairs delivered the welcome address and introduced the charismatic, suit-clad ten. Then came the Proposal of the Activities for the year 2010-11, by The Chairman Umesh. The huge hall burst with applause (which continued for quite sometime) when the popular and amiable Chairman was introduced! His speech was energetic, crisp and delivered flawlessly. It left the students inspired to make all the proposed events hugely successful.
The Principal's Presidential address was sprinkled with his happiness at student empowerment and the inducing of leadership qualities in us at this young age.
The Chief Guest Shri. N. Santosh Hegde (LokaYuktha, Karnataka), a former Supreme Court Justice and a staunch opponent of corruption in any form, gave a thought-provoking speech on the current state of affairs in India and how we, the students, should work towards making amends and forming a society that would be free of corruption and bribery. His real-life anecdotes were eye-openers, delivered with calculated humour that was very effective in driving his points home.
The Co-Chairman Lohithaksa Chengappa provided a fitting finale to the event by delivering the most essential vote of thanks that commemorated everyone who made the function what it was- A Grand Success!
The event ended, not with a fullstop, but with a Comma, left for us, the students, to continue! As the Masters of the ceremony summed up, the essence of this SU:
Different Ideas, Different Perspectives;
One Voice, One Vision;
That's the SPIRIT UNLEASHED for You!
