Last week I got two frantic calls from friends asking me whether it was true that the bishoporic group distributed sweets in the campus for some 'victory' in one of their legal cases. The callers heard this 'news' in their respective churches on that Sunday.
I tried to check this 'news'. What I gathered was funny and just reveals the uncouth exploitation of the bishoporic group anything to their advantage.
One of the non-teaching faculty, an ardent supporter of our struggle, was distributing sweets for the new addition to his family, a son. This was used by the bishoporic group to spread a canard that they had won some legal case and so the sweet distribution in the campus! Real funny people! How desperate they are to go for such ephemeral rumours of victory ...

Within a very short period, Dr. Chinnaraj Joseph was able to bring about a lot of changes in the administration and also in the physical appearance of the campus. I never knew Stoffer Hall had such a beautiful and majestic facade before the bushy outgrowths in front of it were removed. Its majesty was enhanced much by the lovely grass in its foreground. With a rich greenish foreground, the red edifice looked so grand.
But during this struggle all these new landscapes have been left without any proper attention. When I recently visited the campus, to my shock I found the well maintained grass in front of the Stoffer Hall has completely become dry robbing the earlier beauty of the Hall.
Wish the good times come back sooner .........
