Ice breaking

The MCA department of Marian College has welcomed yet another batch into the MCA family. Marking the end of tensions and ragging period, as it is called, the ice breaking session for the new batch was celebrated on the 14th of October 2009. Although i mentioned ragging earlier, the term doesn't exist, in the department, with the same meaning as in earlier days. Its just the wishing stuff and attitude show by seniors than anything serious, thanks to the efforts of hostel warden, Fr. James Kozhimala.

The function was organised by the 2nd yr MCA students and was named 'Merhba', meaning welcome in Maltese. Almost all the first years got an opportunity to come on stage during the 3 hour program. Manager Fr. Ruben J Thannickal spoke a few words in a between the program (but frankly i dont think anyone heard a word of it. No one was in a mood for that). The function ended with the usual exchange of lights (candles) between the super-seniors and juniors. But this time it was a little different. The seniors lit their candles from a becon that was earlier lit my a flame that flew half way accross the stage by itself. (In between there was tea and snacks, I shouldn't skip that. We are not allowed to have big parties like there was earlier.) Later in the hostel all the batches of MCA sat together to have dinner and had a nice time that night, chatting and playing.

Also we the Clarion Team take this opportunity to express our welcome to all the new members of Marian MCA and we express our regards to all the seniors who are not here now, but are still an essential part of Marian MCA family.
