"Embers of Change: Celebrating Kerala Renaissance" - JWALA

"ഒരു ജാതി, ഒരു മതം, ഒരു ദൈവം മനുഷ്യന്" - Sree Narayana Guru


On January 15, 2025, at 2:30 pm, the our Physical Science Subject Association, Aurora , ignited the flames of nostalgia and pride as we celebrated Kerala Piravi through our program "Jwala". This cultural extravaganza was a tribute to the Kerala Renaissance, a pivotal moment in the state's history that paved the way for social reform and progress.

The program commenced with a thought-provoking skit on the life and teachings of Sree Narayana Guru, a pioneering social reformer. The artists' powerful performances brought to life the guru's message of equality and justice.

Next, a mesmerizing mime act on Parvathy Nenmenimangalam, a trailblazing woman who fought against social injustices, left the audience spellbound. The tableaus that followed, depicting the lives of Ayyankali, V.T. Bhattathiripad, Mannath Padmanabhan, and Chavarayachan, were a testament to the tireless efforts of these visionaries who shaped Kerala's history.

The poetry recitation session was a highlight of the program, with soul-stirring renditions of  "Duravastha", and "Chandalabhikshuki". These timeless classics echoed the sentiments of the Kerala Renaissance, inspiring the audience to reflect on the power of collective action.

As the anchor of the program, I was honored to play a part in bringing this vibrant celebration to life. From behind-the-scenes preparations to on-stage performances, it was a truly collaborative effort that showcased the talent and dedication of our students and faculty.

"Jwala" was more than just a cultural program – it was a testament to the enduring spirit of the Kerala Renaissance. As we celebrate our state's rich history, we are reminded of the importance of embracing progress, equality, and justice.

"Teaching is the greatest act of optimism." - Colin Powell I started my 40-day B.Ed teaching practice internship at Government Model Girls High School, Kollam, in Thevally. This first week was a blend of learning, challenges, and excitement as I navigated through teaching practices, interactions with students, and adapting to the school environment. Day 1 - 14/07/25 - Monday It was a mix of excitement and nerves as I took a 5E model class on "Atoms" for 8B students in Chemistry. I used simple analogies and experiments to convey the concept, and the pupils were highly interactive as I encouraged their participation. I felt a sense of accomplishment completing the lesson plan despite struggling a bit with using the whiteboard (not being used to it before). A bit disappointed I couldn't ask review questions at the end due to poor time management, but I did ask continuous questions throughout to reinforce the concept. We also participated in ...

“Examinations not only test knowledge, but also patience, responsibility, and teamwork.” The sixth week of my teaching practice, from 18th August to 22nd August 2025, marked a change of pace as the Onam examinations began at school. The vibrant classroom atmosphere was replaced by a quieter, more focused environment. Instead of regular teaching, our responsibilities shifted to assisting with examination duties, distributing question papers, and ensuring smooth conduct of exams.

Day 25 - 18/08/2025 - Monday The first day of Onam examinations began with much anticipation. I was assigned examination duty in Room 8A.

The atmosphere was calm but slightly tense as students appeared serious and focused. I carefully observed how...

“Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions.” – Unknown.
