Days to Cherish!! π
I hoped for the best and what the college offered is something beyond that. These days were little hectic for me due to many professional and personal chores. But in between those professional hectic schedules in MTTC , what I found was my inner self . Yes !!! It's damn true that for the past 25 days what I digged up was the 'real me' who was buried under many insecurities, fears and inhibitions. It was the very first time in the past 24 years of my age that I stood on a diace to perform something. As I was a person with a great stage fear and as a new comer to the field of dance , I was very much tensed and stressed about our talent hunt program πΆπΆπΆ..
December first week itself was the day which was allotted for our social science talent hunt. Though I was cringey in my mind , our class , the social science family itself was so much supportive that after each and every rehersal I started enjoying my new experiences. And at last the day came - our talent hunt . We all were very much excited but a little more was I . I always had the passion of dancing and was a "bathroom dancer" π so for me it's a great venture that I am going to come across. Our time came and from the beginning itself there were so many technical issues that we even need to stop our dance 4 times in a row π€’. BUT ... This was the time when I found how strong I was .. as I was the only person in the whole crew to step on to the stage for the very first time , but I was the one who didn't even stop dancing when the song stucked due to technical errors. Thus I found the ' bold me ' in me . I feel so thankful to MTTC for giving me such an opportunity ...π
The whole month was full of programs and activities that rarely classes were scheduled. With the end of all the optional talent hunt , we were seriously a little bit down that the moments to cherish came to an end and days of academics are ahead . But again MTTC was filled with joy , practices and tensions to welcome NAAC .I was also a part of NAAC cultural program team . The strength that I acquired from talent hunt made me even more stronger to perform a dance in front of the NAAC expertise. Again days of rehearsals , mock assemblies , mock visits, cleaning, preparing charts , library , classrooms and what not !
The day - December 14 and 15 was the iconic day of NAAC visit . It was a two day program , on the first day evening we performed oru culturals. After my group performed a part of the fusion dance , and stepped out of the stage , I still remember Dr Deepthi teacher's face , she was so happy and excited . She hold my hand and told " it was excellent and energetic mole " ❤️ . This was something more than words for someone like me who stood second time on stage to perform .. Those words means a lot to me ...
After that day , the second day of NAAC visit , we wore Kerala saree . All our student teachers looked exceptionally good . With that day NAAC team went back and our kind-hearted Principal gave us two days off as all the teachers, students and non teaching staffs were working day and night for more than a couple of weeks to make the event a great success.
Then came the third week of December - time for stars , cakes , bells , trees ... Yes .. Christmas is at our doorsteps . Again MTTC got ready for Christmas celebration ππ and functions . There were card making competition, letter to Santa contest and so many exciting shows and events . December 23 was our celebration day . Forenoon session was that of two Father's who came from church and we also had Christmas songs by seniors and juniors . Cakes were distributed to all the students and teachers . Afternoon welcomed our social science batch with something exciting. As we all were waiting for cultural programs , results of the competitions were announced . Surprisingly our letter grabbed the first position πππ . All of us wrote our concerns and wishes to Santa .. which got the first prize !!!! Our principal read our letter and asked us to dance and come to the stage to collect the prize . After that there were many songs and dances , all were fantastic . All the teaching faculties including our principal came and danced with us . Thus with that our college was closed for Christmas vacation and is going to reopen by January 3 .
For all these years of learning, vacations were something that I enjoyed and celebrated . But for the very first time in my life am longing for the college to reopen . π Slowly I am knowing that MTTC is being a part of myself . Longing for these days to pass as soon as possible ππ...!!!
