I am sure that the magazine will reflect the views and talents of the young and dynamic student community of our campus. I congratulate the dedicated group behind the scene who have contributed and were instrumental in bringing out the magazine Prof. (Dr) V.P. Devassia Principal Chengannur 21st July 2008 7 MESSAGE In a world where there is rapid development in science and information technology, where boundaries are fast dissolving, where communication is the keyword, often there is an unwitting dilution of academic programmes. The College of Engineering, Chengannur, focuses on holistic education geared towards academic excellence. It is a wonderful hub of academic and cultural activity with all the stakeholders - the Principal, teachers, students, parents and other staff working together towards the ultimate goal of raising the level of students’ achievements. Apart from academics, it is needless to say that debating, music, dance, quiz, fine arts etc. all find an important place here. The annual college magazine 2007-08 reflects the true spirit in the college. I hope that this college magazine will infuse positive energy in batches next to come. Jayadeepkumar J Faculty in charge of college magazine 8 college of engineering chengannur 9 FROM THE SUB EDITOR I strongly believe that the name chosen for this magazine is of the first water and the most suitable one. You might wonder why such a name like Fill in the Blanks. But you would find it an epitome of our current youth… read on… Suppose there are two railway tracks. One usable and one unusable. Three children are playing on the tracks. One child is playing on the unused while other three are on the usable. Let’s imagine a train coming from far. We have got two options. Either allow the train to go straight or divert it to the unused track. Which one will you prefer? You might choose to divert the course of the train and sacrifice only one child. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the unused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place? Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens for youth these days. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him. This is a typical example of the passive nature of the present youth. While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one. All decisions that are taken need not gain acceptance, nevertheless, we must go ahead with it. And we invite you to some such situations where our youth would find themselves blank; let’s fill them in… “Turn your face to the sun & the shadows fall behind you.” Alok Mohan 2010 EC 10 college of engineering chengannur 11 bph-Xz-Øn\v AXym-hiyw th≠ NneXv ...
