TRAPPED BY MISTAKES

*

The three year old, ongoing struggle to save the glorious institution, The American College, has had its quota of ups and downs, moments of joy and times of despair. It has seen unexpected twists and turns.

But, judging from what has been happening recently, something within me tells that the beginning of the end has started. The elevation  of the utterly incompetent person like the son-in-law of the  brutally unscrupulous Bishop, to the position of Principal, has exposed their evil designs on this College. Now, at least some sections of the Church have come to realise that this  father-in-law and son-in-law combine, if left to carry on with their mission of rampage and destruction,  would inevitably drag both the Church and the College to doom. Handbills circulated by a few church members criticising the Bishop is a sign of things to come.

The ghaeroing of the Joint DIrector of the Collegiate Education, when she came to visit the College on 23-11-2011, by a group of hooligans, specially trained for such activities by the thugs parading themselves as administrators, has come as a blessing in disguise because, now the officialdom has learnt the truth about their  character and calibre. The posters criticising the Collector and the JDCE, displayed by this group in the City, would have further antagonised them.

Bloated by ego and inflated with arrogance, let them commit more and more such mistakes. This is surely the path of dictators. Their imminent fall is at hand. But, we cannot afford to lower our guard. Under the able leadership of  Dr.Anbudurai, Principal-in-Charge, let us carry on our fight, with renewed vigour and complete commitment.
