Back to College

 We are back to our classes after a short period of online classes.The day began with the class elections.We selected Aleena, Sajin and Josena as our class leaders. They proved to be the right choices from day one itself.

The next hour Giby ma'am taught about the three mental stages: Id, ego and super ego and I'm working my way into having only ego and super ego. She gave a hilarious anecdote to show the real life applications of these mental stages.

After lunch, we were energised by Joju sir's class where we were divided ourselves into eight groups where each group was a mixture of students from each class. We had group discussion on the topics 'Dangers of Technology' and the 'Uses of Technology for a Teacher'. Each group had a leader,reporter and time keeper.The reporter is supposed to present the points discussed by the group in the form of a 3 minute speech.

 


During our PT hour we had a warm up session followed by few games of Kho- Kho.

Tomorrow is our first group activity as a class in college and we are not fully prepared ....but no worries 😊.

Day 31 of Online Classes

 Today was the logo release and inauguration of the social science association. They have chosen the name 'ഐക്യ ' which means to become one. The name is a good reminder for these times where the world is divided in the name of religion, caste, race, resources etc.  The chief guest was Arya Rajendran, the  mayor  of Trivandrum and is the youngest (22 years) to hold that position. Felicitations were expressed by singers Mrs. Veena Haridas and Mr. Ravishankar. The surprising fact was that there were almost 100 participants throughout the program. The effort taken by each and everyone of the class (as well as from other classes) could be seen.  

Coastline Paradox

 Ever wondered how the perimeter of irregular surfaces (like coastlines, borders of a fern leaf) are measured and compared?  For example, let us consider a coastline, you can see that as we zoom in on the picture more irregularities pop up, there is no stage of zooming in where we'll finally reach a straight line. So, if I had to measure the coastline using a 15 cm scale, it'd obviously ignore the small irregularities which lie beyond the scope of a 15 cm scale. If I measure the coastline using a 5 cm scale, then it would accommodate comparatively more irregularities, as a result, the length of the same coastline will be more in this case. This means as the precision of the scale increases the length of the coastline increases. Comparison of coastlines between different regions becomes difficult due to this dilemma. This is known as the 'Coastline Paradox' or 'Richardson effect' and originally the problem was framed as, "How Long is the Coast of Britain?...

Sports Meet 2022

 Finally, the day is here. We've been scheduling the sports meet for quite some meet. It had to be postponed due to unexpected rains and finally, it was conducted on Sep 12 and 13 soon after the Onam holidays. We had shotput, javelin throw, 50m, 100 m etc. The involvement and participation in the second years were a little low compared to the first years. Events like shot put, javelin throw, 50 m race etc had good participation. The selection of students for the finals of each event was done on the first day. The finals followed by prize distribution were done on the second day. I was supposed to run the100m race but had to pull out due to previous complications in my leg injury. But I got to participate in the march past which was totally unexpected. By the end of the day, we were dead tired from the scorching sun, but it was all worth it.
