Their Souls Enchanted Sings - Vismaya (Group 6)

To love, to learn, to grow together.
We, as Heartians, have been doing exactly that.
Reciting our College Anthem opens up a whole new inspirational and motivational perspective among all of us. Personally speaking, the sail of our journey, the perils and turmoils of thunder and hail faced during our toughest times and the saviour represented through God's smile, is my favorite. The depth of emotion conveyed in those two lines left me completely spellbound.

Like the anthem says, our souls are enchanted as we pursue through our thoughts at the shimmering shores of time. The anthem inspires us to explore and gain knowledge from everywhere. It expresses how God's presence gives us the courage to move forward, like the tortoise in the story of The rabbit and the tortoise. It gives us the destination of the unknown freedom that is locked up in ourselves and to which we ourselves hold the key, to be opened when we stand up for ourselves with God as our treasured compass.

Rarely have I read a piece of writing that made me feel that even climbing the highest of peaks, swimming the longest rivers, writing the biggest novels, or the most meaningful poems, all the tough moments, to be the happy pills of life that we can achieve if we dare to dream of it and follow God's path and vision of grandeur and love.

I feel that I deeply owe a lot to every esteemed person who made a contribution in making this College Anthem. It is a brilliant piece of writing that should break off from being a cocoon and fly like a butterfly to spread its message to the whole world.

An Ear to Hear - Vismaya(Group 6)

Amma that happened
Amma this happened
Amma she did this
Amma he did that
Tirelessly going through the day's events
While she did her works,
Asking questions when she got careless
And getting the right answers,
Be it day or be it night
With an open heart and a brilliant mind
Is she ready to listen to my pestering noise.
Oh where will I find a better listener
Than my very own mother.

Her laughter at my best jokes
And her dilemma at my lame ones,
Both are ones I equally cherish.
The snow of my summer
And the sunlight of my winter
The wind that wipes away my tears
And the one who helps me bloom,
Where will I find a better best friend
Than my very own mother!

Letter to 2020 -Vismaya (Group 6)

Dear 2020,

Your elder sister was pretty good to me.
2019 had been a rollercoaster. It had its ups and downs, but when I think of the year now, it brings a certain happiness which cannot be expressed in words. I sincerely wish you'd do the same for me.

2019, I guess, changed me quite a bit. I was a school going student at the beginning, with the Board exams stressing me and at the end of the year, had already become a college student. The change was huge, but I was able to cope up with it due to the love and support I got from this class.

I look forward to spend more time here with the people I love and care about. I wish this year to bring happiness to all of us and to make a fruitful path to 2021.

For a long time, we've heard about 2020 vision and now it's time that we live through it. The stars and lights of 2019 has been put down, but let that light now shine bright througg us and our actions. I wish this year would flow like a ariver. There may be obstructions, but at the end of it all, it reaches its destination successfully. I don't expect 2020 to be filled with happiness alone. Being happy and sad are two sides of the same coin and I wish that at the end of the year, when I look back at 2020, I'd feel worthy of having lived through that coin.

The Past -Arundhathy (Group 6)

I was in love once
But not anymore
It was a long loitering summer fling
And soon he turned my soul cold
I have never felt this desired or
determined before
But he left me, heartlessly, for spring
And now, summer is set again
The sun is up and the bees are buzzing
But something changed
I lost something
I lost me
I lost my smile
And now I miss the old me

The Peril -Vismaya (Group 6)

Two options. Sacred Heart College or St. Teresa's College. It was a dilemma, though my heart and mind had always been tilted towards SH college. Getting an admission at these colleges was not an easy mountain to climb and I, for one, was yearning for this college.

But due to my "extreme luck", I got called to STC, but was left with a much more curious position of being given a spot allotment at SH college. Maybe it was because I didn't want to go there in the first place, but it was honestly a nightmare. Having expected to get admission at SH college, i felt like a fish trying to climb a tree at STC.

On one such gloomy day, sitting in my class as the lecture went on, I was pretty much lost in my world of schoolmates and nostalgia when I noticed a familiar face at the door. It was my mother with a brilliant smile on her face; and I knew, I knew that I'd been called from here. My joy knew no bounds, I was literally thrilled. I might as well have been the happiest soul in the world during those moments.

Now, when I think of my previous college where I spent around 3 weeks, I still feel terrified by how badly I couldn't adjust there. But the few friends I made there are still some of the best mates I could ask for. Coming here, I was able to cherish the best of days, creating memories that I'll preserve in my heart forever.

A Day to Remember- Austin(Group 6)

Hridyasamarpitha Sangamam was an alumni meet up for those who studied at Sacred Heart College years before. It was held on 8 February 2020 in the College Auditorium. The function started with the Holy mass in the Monastery Chapelen. Afterwards, all of us moved to SH college auditorium for the gathering. 

The main person of this gathering was Mar. Antony Kariyal, the Cardinal of Ernakulam-Angamaly archdiocese. The principal Fr. Prasanth cmi was the main organiser of this function. The programmes included discussion and question-answer sessions which were presented brilliantly, increasing our perspective towards the world as a whole. 

There were entertainment programmes as well. This included a melodious session presented by the Music Club of the college. This was followed by a splendid performance by the Dance Club which left us all mesmerized. All the memebers who attended the function had an extremely wonderful time. As a whole, it was a beautiful experience, a memory that I'll cherish in my mind forever.

Seasons Of Life-Meenakshi Manoj


The  Seasons of life
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Life is like seasons
Like the first drop of the rainy season
New born, enters without much reason
Flooding the heart of his mother,
With the rain of tears.
Then the spring of life,
The youth, we start our journey new,
The flowers bloom and the skies blue,
Flies freely like a butterfly,
Tasting the nectar of all.
Its summer soon and he is mature
Fare love and kids, home and career
The summer and winter of life
With the problems of adulthood
And the memories of the spring.
It goes on....
Till the autumn,
The foilage falls, the hair turns grey
Then life falls,
Like the falling leaves of autumn
Which doesn't have the greenish
Young look
And there it ends,
The seasons of life.
