There are times when our inaction become more significant than our actions.This is such a time.The lesser we do, the better it is. Now we are facing a big trouble 'Covid-19'. The whole world is in the grip of this virus.From Wuhan, it has started to conquer all. Is it a bio weapon or not? How can we prevent its spreading? Does it affect only the old? There are many doubts regarding this. Above all this is the time to break the chain of 'Covid-19'. It is the need of the hour to overcome this crucial situation. Once we came across a lot of infectious diseases, such as Malaria, Small Pox, Sars, Mers   Chikungunia ,Dengue Fever,etc.... Mosquitoes were the carriers of these diseases.we could take immediate steps to exterminate mosquitoes.But now we are the carriers. Is it possible to exterminate us? No,so to stay alive, we just have to stay home and take precautions against corona. It is very urgent to obey the rules and regulations. Of course we miss our frie...

Dear students,   The Second Year Examination in English is close at hand. Don't panic and fear. This is just a test which can not measure your skills in its fuller sense. Face it cool like a cucumber. Be wise and professional in answering. Don't forget to manage time. Use the revision tab one last time to refresh what we have discussed. As a teacher I am happy the way you perform in the class. I am not much concerned of your scores but your quality...Wish you all the very best. Let you be all able to come out with flying colours. Let god's grace be with you all..... Thanks a ton for being my pride !!!!

   In the past eighteen years, I have gone through  a lot of moments which made me think, cry and laugh. But the last two years were quite memorable. I was not so happy when I came to this school. But now i am feeling so blessed to be here, among the best teachers and the cheerful friends and the lessons I learned in the past two years are invaluable and worth remembering.  Among them the most valued lesson was about the importance of self confidence in our life. I still remember the day I cried while delivering a speech. But by the support of my teachers and friends I was able to bridle and conquer my fear. Now I feel confident that I can speak to any audience looking into their eyes.  The second lesson I learned was about the transient nature of life. The tragedy that befell Abheel and Shatla reminded me that life is so short and is brittle like a piece of glass. So I want to do all possible things within the short life span with a good and gentle s...

"Don't make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.The famous American Businessman Thomas J Watson said it right.We all have that one friend who hears our tensions. And we all have that group of friends who never let us in tensions. True and real friends never let us to stay depressed. When I came to my new school for HSE, I thought I lost my true friends. When I saw my new classmates, all of the faces seemed fake to me. Two years passed. Don't know when they unrevealed masks and when they became my true friends. All I wanted was what I got from them. A group of true friends who cares me. I saw love and care in all their eyes. Me who ran away from opportunities is now searching for new opportunities to prove myself. Functions and trips made our bonds stronger. They all are my spiritual twins. They coloured my life. They taught me how to fight in the bad stages of life.  Teachers- they quench our thirst through knowle...

Dear Friends,                        Are you afraid of English language? Have you ever felt that it is a hard nut for you to crack. Do you have the inferiority that you came from a Malayalam medium school. Have you ever thought that it was your background that was the block in mastering this language. Then you had better listen to the words of Sri. Joseph Annamkutty Jose who wrote 'Buried Thoughts'. Listen to his words  and realise how he fell in love with English and how his burning passion, the humiliation he faced and his acceptance of all such experience with positive intent has showed him the way.

Welcome everyone....    I hope I am not late this time. Finally the much awaited moment.... Its here...Each one of them is present here. It may be hard for them to accept. But it is an essential reality. The most critical moment in the entire process: saying a good bye.   As you can see it is an ending, but a beginning too. It is a moment wetted with tears but adorned with smiles. It is a blending of two emotions- the Teacher and the Student. It is visible in their eyes. Look at them, the traces of tears in their eyes are reflecting the smiles of wisdom on the faces of their teachers.   For each of them it was a journey that started in a July. For the students it is the first and last experience in their lives. For teachers it is a unique one added to their precious teaching experience. Two years of togetherness, friendship, caring and preaching .... The experience of love, empathy, hard work and determination ..... all these would be flowing throug...
