THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST UNIVERSITY...

Here your author come again....

As I settled into my new routine, the excitement of starting at Christ University was tinged with a touch of nervousness.

     When we had our first official introduction the virtual setting somehow felt special. Ad I logged in and my screen filled with the faces of fellow students we were greeted by Dr.(Fr.) Jossy P. George, the university director. His presence, a blend of warmth and authority, stood out amidst the usual webex monotony.

   With a warm smile and a rich husky voice, He said, 'Good morning Christine's.' His greeting carried a deep sense of pride and belonging. 'I know this year is different but once a Christite always a Christite. The spirit of Christ is in our blood.'

    Eventually, we were introduced to the Christ anthem.

 The anthem with its stirring lyrics and power ful melody, prominently featured the call to " March on, Christites." Even though the virtual setting, hearing those words gave us goosebumps. The anthem was a remainder of our unity and purpose, stirring a deep sense of pride and connection.

As we embrace the university's traditions and values, it became clear that being a Christite was more than just attending a college; it was about carrying a piece of your alma matter with you, no matter where we were or how things changed.

The day of our first class had finally arrived and a buzz of excitement filled the virtual space. As we logged into webex a mix of nervousness and anticipation swirled within me. And then she appeared on our screens--- Manjari Ma'am.

    " Good morning, students!" She said with her warm voice it literally felt like a hug for a second.

Well, all I can say is that most of the boys in the class were already flattered.

  "Alright, let's get into today's problem" Manjari Ma'am exclaimed, as she maneuvered through her slides.

 I groaned inwardly but it was high time I faced my fear of mathematics.

 Mayur sitting next to me in the virtual room,was also clearly struggling. "I don't get this at all, " he typed in the chat. "Is it just me?"

    "Nope, I'm lost too," Akinchan replied."But let's hang in there. she's supposed to be good."

    Just as we were getting wrapped up in the numbers, Manjari Ma'am dropped a surprise. " By the way," She said casually, "I'm married and have a child."

   The revelation hit us like a sudden downpour, dousing our daydreams. The room fell into a stunned silence, and the fantasy we had built around her came crashing down. It was a sobering moment, realizing that the person we admired so much had a full, happy life outside the confines of our virtual classroom.

    But Manjari Ma'am didn't let us linger in the shock for long."To lift the mood," She said with a warm smile, "We're going to have a fun project. I need you to collect pictures of every student, create a college, and post it on Instagram. The class with the most likes will win a prize."

    The change in energy was instant."That sounds cool!" Saurabh typed enthusiastically. "Lesgoooöo!"

    " Hell Yeah!" I quickly typed raising my hand on the webex platform. soon others joined in too.

   "Great I'll send out the details soon," Manjari Ma'am replied. "Looking forward to seeing your creative collages!"

        As we started planning the project, the initial disappointment melted away. The photo collage task became our new focus, and the excitement of collaborating on something fun brought us closer together. It was a chance to turn our day around and make something enjoyable out of it.

         The project was more than just a tusk; it was a way to bond and work together. And as we dove into it, the mood lightened, and the sense of camaraderie grew stronger.
