Mesmirizing Loyola

An evening at Loyola College is so special, especially when it’s with friends. Though I been in the campus for past few months only the round table discussions are so exciting and it brings life to this campus.  It becomes more interesting and refreshing when the group initiates and reflects on personal experiences which we had during our concurrent field work. Usually our informal discussion gets spicy when the group further comments on certain social issues and other issues of concern. It’s worth to be the part of such discussions after the regular college timing, as the heated up discussions are always an eye-opener for most of us. On a similar ground we had a special invitee today to add Special flavor to our discussions, he is a proud Loyolite and one among our alumni. Mr. Ashish Joseph (2009-11 MSW-batch) who been with us and shared his insights. To me it was not a usual interaction with an alumni which is common in most of the campus. 

Report complied by Roy Joseph, MSW (2014-16)It was all cozy to sit under the mighty ‘badam tree’ and to gaze at him. He never made us to lose interest, he seems to be very informative and vibrant while sharing his experiences. He described how he “survived” at Loyola college days during his initial days at the college and further his learning inside the class and outside the classroom which made him walk tall in the campus after 4 years. He has been associated with Save the Family – INGO project and currently working with Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS) The importance of reading and being proactive in social work career was well illustrated to us. Dr. Sonny Jose has contributed to the discussion by complimenting the comments and observations. We been open and didn’t felt reluctant to express our queries which been answered quite interestingly by both Mr. Ashish and Sonny Sir.
