Heart-Bytes Back to Life


Message by the Principal





Mind blogging - The possibilities (we)blog opens for learning, creativity, self-expression, mutuality, solidarity, and self-discovery! As web-log enters its popular existence into a second decade, the heartians have finally decided to keep the log with active involvement of the student community. On the faculty side, there is initiative - but it does require the youth energy to keep it going.

I hope this will serve Heartian academic fellowship beyond classrooms and national boundaries - taking the bloggers 'into that haven of freedom' of right thought, right speech and right livelihood.

I am happy to assert with the heartians world over, that from now on - WE BLOG'!


- FR. Prasant Palakkappillil, CMI PhD

  1. Congratulations to all behind this wonderful idea of interaction. With the support and guidance of Fr.Prasant you can do a lot. I should say this is just a beginning. An immediate thought came to mind, please try to remove the yellow highlighter on the message part of Principal, it doesn't give a professional look. Hope you will not mind blunt suggestions like this.

  3. Dear Satheesh,
    Thank you very much for your suggestion. The yellow highlighting is removed. In fact, it was a copy-and-paste text from an email, and I thought of formatting it later and forgot it.
    Thank you again, for trying to connect the blog with your batch-mates. It will be great if more people can join in and make this a place where the alumni can interact with the faculty and students of SH College.
    We look forward to featuring more work from the students, and updates on all the programmes that take place in the college.
    Stay in touch!
    Regards,
    Jose Varghese - Dept. of English
