NSS One Day Camp at Vattiyoorkkavu Polytechnique

Two days before, my friend informed me of a camp being conducted in Central polytechnique College , and told me to report there at 9.30 am. I was told about this by our NSS Program Officer of our college,Mr.Mhd. Shafeeq sir the next day..He told me that 10 volunteers are allowed to go .I was thinking of going. But was afraid whether my fater will allow or not..Anyway,when I reached Home,and asked about this, My father gave me permission to go..


Today morning I woke up at 7.00 am and was thinking dat it was already late..[:D]Hehee,..Ente oro thamashakal..My bestfriend told me last day he'll cm at Perookkada at 9 am and that we can go together.So I got ready fast,taking very little breakfast and went to catch a bus to Palayam.After reaching palayam,I went to catch another bus to Peroorkkada. I got the bus without much dealy. I was in just a hurry berry style at that time.. I had only a mobile,a book,a pen,and some money and water with me. Well,That was just more than enough. I was waiting for my friend in the bus stop. He came and we went to PolyTechniche college.

We reached the college by 9.15 am. The campus was a big one, much bigger than our college.We first went inside the college.I was surprised to see the arrangements they have made... There was a design made with sand/ salt at the entrance and there was a reception arranged..At the reception people were sitting to direct and make registrations..We had to wait for other people in our college to come.. So we went inside the building and found out the auditorium . I was interacting with a girl there..Soon we were friends.. She told us that we should register.. We told we were waiting for our friends..then she told we should go down and register when all reaches there.. We phoned to others to come fast.. Then after some time they came..6 people were there..We went to registration desk and registered..We were given a file with paper,pen, volunteer card,and d notice for the day. Then we went to the hall where meeting is being conducted.. There we took some photos..

It was great to be there.. I went and sat in the girls side ..I was the only one girl from our college..hehe..I made friends with the girls who sat near me..They were Anzy, Arathy,Azeela,Chinnu,Chithra ..All from Central polytechnique Vattiyoorkkavu. I was informed by them dat 40 of them are attending the camp...


Ohh....I almost forgot to tell.....The camp was a district level NSS volunteer camp..It was named "Kaithiri" ..The camp was conducted with the help of ex-NSS members..They had formed a group called YES(Youth Empowerment Society). The NSS and YES together was conducting a camp..all expenses were taken by YES members..The camp is dated to 4th October 2008.

I had a great luck of attending a camp like this..The inaugration ceremony was done and the Camp was opened ..After prayer song and other formal things ,we were given tea and biscut..There was a class nexct..A seminar on "Youth and society" (not the exact topic ;)hehee)... The talk was fully about NSS, its origin etc etc..It was very nice to hear ,because I dint know the basic thing of NSS..

After the class, It was lunch break..I was having a lot of girls as my friends by now and were making many more..we were told to go to another class romm..there we were serverd with a small sadya..with pickle,pappadam, cabbage thoran,avial,sambar and moru curry..The lunch was great..I took some photos there..I made friends with Arya,Deepthi,anjana and one more girl from LBS..They were doing 5th semester in IT..I had a great time with them..I also made friends with many like Raji, Aswathi, Megha, Aparna, Sivapriya, shathikrishna ,and many more..

The next session began ...Well this was the most interseting session..t was about "nadan pattu"..They had named themselves as "Nattu koottam"..It was all about the traditional nadan pattu and songs..They sung many songs and made us too sing and dance along with themm..We continued that session till 4 pm.(...........I thought we will be leaving before 3)...Hmm..Anyway I and my friends enjoyed a lot...Had a great time..

After this, the certificates were distributed to all volunteers who attended the camp..I colected the certificates for our college..Mine was having mistake and I returned it..Velappan sir,The Program officer of central polytechnique told me he'll give it when he come to college next time..

That was the end of a wonderful camp..After tea and biscut, we were dismissed.. Before leaving we,GECB ians took a group photo...Our sir was already gone..So we had our photo without him..

Hmm..Thus there ended a wonderful camp..Hoping to get things like this more...I would next love to go for a hike or trekking..These have been in my mind for a long time..but I am still unable to fulfill themm..bad luck..But I am hoping to do it some day..I would really really love to do so..
