Good….. Mediator….. Another issue of this Academic year comes to our hand, which showcases various intellectual and aesthetic programmes convened in the college at periodic intervals. � is Media-tor is special one for me also, since this being the last issue during my tenure as Principal. May I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the entire SJCC family. I have been associated with SJCC since 2006 and it was in March 2013 when I came here to conduct a workshop for the Multimedia students, immediate-ly a� er my retirement from FTII Pune, Rev. Fr. Sebastian Punnassery, the then Executive Director and Rev. Fr. Antony Ethackad, the then Academic Director and currently the Executive Director and Rev.Fr. Joseph Parackal, the then Bursar asked and inspired me to do the service as Principal of SJCC for a small period. My deepest gratitude to the Fathers for having con� dence and trust in me. Re-membering the quality time I spent with SJCC, I have no hesitation to say that I have learned a lot from you Fathers. I would like to pay tribute to your com-mitment, your dedication, your innova-tive approach and your professionalism. I would like to thank my dear col-leagues for their cooperation and kind support. I am extremely grateful for the role that everyone has played all these years. Please continue to work hard as a team for making this campus a happier and more productive place.

I have only two small reasons to take the retirement now.Firstly, I want to take a break from my regular routine, not to take rest, but to keep myself busy with my passions.Secondly, I asked myself when is the best time to think about the retirement, the answer I got is before the manage-ment thinks. Since teaching is one of my strong passions, my association with SJCC will de� nitely be continued. � e time I spent here as Principal have been happy years and years that I will always remember fondly. All my prayers and the very best wishes for the New Principal too. I have no words to express my thanks to my dear students for their love, a� ec-tion and support given to me all these years. Wish you all the very best and luck for your life ahead. It goes without saying that you will all be there in my prayers.“I love you all…..� ank you.”

More than 100 Partici-pants were competed.College Man-agement and the whole staff congrat-ulated her for the great achievement.

March, the end of an academic year and the time to remember all the past experiences with friends. It’s the period of realising the missing days of college life. We have not made any life transforming decisions but mistakes. Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so does virtue appear from good deeds and wisdom appears from pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of life, students need the light of wisdom and guidance of virtue. � ese three years of wonderful experiences make them to face all the hardships of real life. “If winter comes, can spring be far behind” – If winter is approaching, all the trees shed their leaves and they are waiting for the spring to bloom. All sorrows and tears of this march will change into the happiness of achieve-ments. It’s the time to recall their friendship, memorising the golden days of togetherness, remembering the shar-ing and � ghting moments at hostel and all the things they have done together. You have failed doing the thingss you hated, now it’s the time to excel in your favorite things. But sure, they can hope for a good spring season. Time passes by, students’ life will also change. Some will go for a new job... some will go for higher studies... Now, the days are com-ing for them to take strong decisions. Our life is a kaledoscope which re� ects both happy and sad moments in lovely colors. � ese days pave the way to start a better life, with new hopes and new expectations... May God almighty help you all to make your dreams come into reality. So now it’s the time to bid farewell to all the students and teachers. � ank you everyone for sharing all those fantastic days of enjoyment with us.

“ Tomorrow to fresh woods and pas-tures new” May God Bless You All...

The luxuriant golden blooms of Cas-sia Fistula [kanikonna] are a heart-ening sight for everyone. From prosperity to abundance,the bloom-ing of Cassia Fistula is of immence symbolic and cultural significance for keralites. The flowering of the golden shower tree signals seasonal changes in the agriculture calendar of the state,heralding the arrival of harvest and ‘Vishu’. However, the flowering period of Cassia Fistu-la is advancing every passing year. The flowering of Kanikonna used to be a major signal for the farm-ers of the state who infact prepared

their agriculture calendar based on this. Usually the tree starts budding during peak summer season in the Malayalam month of ’Meenam’[mid March]and comes to full bloom only by ‘Medam’[mid April] at time for vishukani. But for the last few years, Cassia Fistula trees in the state bloom almost a month ahead and by the time Vishu arrives, the trees would have shed their flowers and would be standing almost bare.It has led to many households searching for atleast a bunch on the eve of Vishu. Without Cassia Fistula,keralitesVishu celebration would be incomplete.
