Six Days @ CIT – More than Just Training

When I arrived at CIT, Coimbatore, for the six-day training program for teachers, I expected structured sessions, a few notes, and maybe some polite networking. What I got instead was a whole new world of experiences, ideas, and people.

From the very first day, I met new faces  each with a story, a style, and a spark. Some smiled instantly, some warmed up slowly, but everyone added something to my journey. The mornings were full of fresh energy, engaging discussions, and thought-provoking activities that made me rethink my own teaching methods. The afternoons had a different pace ,more practical sessions, more open conversations, and, of course, the quiet excitement that builds just before lunch.

The resource persons didn’t just deliver content; they challenged our perspectives, encouraged participation, and added moments of laughter when we least expected it. Sometimes a serious debate would take a funny turn, and suddenly the room would feel lighter yet more connected.

Beyond the sessions, the real magic happened in the small interactions the quick chats over tea, the shared notes, the exchanged contact details. These weren’t just names saved in my phone; they were new connections that might shape my professional journey ahead.

By the end of the six days, I carried home more than just a notebook full of ideas. My profile had a new dimension, my mind had fresh clarity, and my heart held the quiet satisfaction that comes when you’ve truly gained something valuable.

CIT didn’t just train me, it inspired me. It reminded me that learning is not just about knowledge; it’s about people, experiences, and the joy of exploring together.

Let Me Sleep, Not to Dream....

     Some nights, I don’t want answers I just want silence. Not the kind filled with buzzing thoughts, but the deep, weightless stillness that John Keats writes about in “To Sleep.” His lines feel less like poetry and more like a whisper to the weary .      Keats doesn’t glorify sleep as a dreamy escape filled with fantasies. Instead, he sees it as a quiet refuge from the noise of life. I remember one night, after back-to-back classes and an unexpected family argument, I sat by my window, emotionally exhausted. No words, no energy just the weight of being awake. That night, I opened Keats. His line, “Seal the hushed casket of my soul,” made me close my eyes. For once, I wasn’t trying to sleep. I was inviting it in like an old friend.      I’ve often found that poetry meets us where no one else can . Keats understood that some days feel too loud, too real. And what we need isn’t escape, but a pause a gentle covering of all that aches. His...

From Questions to Acceptance: The Quiet Strength Within

Today, I began writing my blog not with clarity, but with a curious uncertainty. I didn’t know where to start or what to write. Once, I was filled with questions. I constantly asked: How? Where? When? Why? What? These questions shaped my journey, my identity, my hunger to understand the world. But something changed. I’ve stopped asking. I’ve begun accepting. Life has slowly revealed its quiet wisdom to me not in answers, but in acceptance. I no longer seek explanations for everything around me. I no longer expect people to explain themselves, prove themselves, or live up to my vision of who they should be. Why should they? Everyone is walking their own path. It’s not my responsibility to evaluate their pace, their truth, or their struggle. I’ve learned not to expect, not to demand, not to act out of pressure or illusion. Instead, I’ve chosen to receive what life brings openly, peacefully. “I don’t expect, so I don’t act. I just accept.” That is my mantra now. I’ve found that ac...

When Hope Sings Softly Within !!!

     There are times in life when everything outside falls silent, dreams are delayed, plans fall apart, and people we trust walk away. Yet, even in such silence, I’ve felt something quietly fluttering within me a small, unwavering voice that says, “Move forward.” Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope is the Thing with Feathers” captures that feeling so perfectly. She compares hope to a bird that perches in our soul, singing wordlessly through the fiercest storms.      What struck me most is how Dickinson says this bird “never stops at all.” That line stayed with me. In my own life, when I felt lost after rejections, personal losses, or simply long nights filled with doubt, I didn’t always have someone to lean on. But this soft inner song remained. It never asked for anything in return. Just like Dickinson’s bird, hope never demanded food, praise, or reward. It just kept singing.      I’ve learned that true hope doesn’t come from external success o...
