The Principal and staff ofSreepathy College need to becongratulated for the excellentresults they are producingconsistently in the Universityexams. These results become allthe more creditable when weconsider the quality of ourintake. Furthermore, theirearnest efforts, in all spheres ofdevelopment, are taking ustowards a bright future.

Our infrastructure developmenthad been slower than anticipatedand I beg your pardon for that.

The reasons for the delay are socomplex and varied that I am notdetailing them here. Despiteobvious limitations I believe thatwe have done remarkably well.The work on the new libraryblock and the entrance gate hasstarted and is expected to be oversoon. The finishing touches tothe main block are over and oursurroundings have become neatand presentable, if not excellent.

I congratulate the people behindthis venture and reassure all thesupport from the Trust.

you may unknowingly use thesame language for officialcommunication also (asmentioned in the first sentence).There is always a possibility thatyou forget the actual spelling andtend to write the same in exami-nations and other places also.

Another way the youngsterscommunicate is by Mangleeshlike “Ith nammude clgle orubahumana petta teachrkulathaketto” (Courtesy: -simatconfessions)

Communication is the most vitalskill for an Engineer. If you wantto be successful in your career,you have to minimise, the SMSkind of communication and theusage of “Mangleesh” which arecompletely lacking in grace.

Another text taken from the mailbox of a student“British rooled avar kantry farmeny ears. They destrayed avarculture So wat? Let us destroytheir laangeyege lake dhis.”

Unless our youngsters startcommunicating with goodlanguage I really fear the abovesentence may become true in thenear future.
