Thank You, DVK!
I deem it a rare opportunity to represent the students of Certificate in
Philosophy (batch of 2015-2016) and share my experience at DVK. We really feel
so proud for having been part of the Faculty of Philosophy at DVK. Today, as we
flip back the pages of our lives at DVK, we can confidently say that each one
of you has played a unique role in inscribing the best moments of our lives.
You are all part of an important chapter in the book of our lives. Each
encounter with you was an enriching experience which nourished and nurtured our
lives. We wish to thank each and every one of you.
When we joined Dharmaram, it was
really a new experience, a whole new world for us. But from the very first day
itself we felt at home here in this Faculty, because our respected dean Rev.
Dr. Saju Chackalackal was trying to give different types of orientation
programme for mingling with our fellow brothers and sisters. Dear
Father Saju, you are truly a father and friend to us. You personally know each
one of us. You edified us by your simple and loving behaviour. We remember your
inspiring words by which you gave us confidence and hope. We accord our special
thanks to our beloved president Fr Paulachan, Dean and all our Professors for
having walked with us shoulder to shoulder in all our endeavours. You were
always ready to go an extra mile to help us out in every way possible. Dear Fathers,
even though each one of you is a genius in the fields of your expertise, you
were humble enough to come down to our levels. Beyond the textbook knowledge,
you have taught us truths of life. Yesterday, we were babies of Philosophy. But
today we have started taking small steps. We are nearing the completion of the
course. But we are certain that Philosophy will always be part and parcel of
our lives. Philosophy has taught us to broaden the spectrum of our vision
towards life and people. Philosophy taught us the importance of using reason
and it is superior to doing. The modern dictum is “work smarter, not harder.”
If we want to work smarter, we have to use the faculty of thinking. Very few
people think. Only those who think produce results. This is what Philosophy has
proved. Our professors are great thinkers and visionaries. It is your thoughts
and actions that give flesh and blood to DVK. We find in you the rarest of
human species. When many people out in the world have no time to listen to
others, you keep on encouraging us to ask questions. We love the way you
attempt to answer our questions, even stupid ones at times. We find our faculty
as a team of professors, who are very dedicated, hardworking and humble down to
the earth. Persons come and go, but the memories of dedication, selfless
service and sacrifice are remembered for generations. Thank you for all what you
have been and are to each one of us. A special note of thanks to our animator,
Rev. Fr. Thomas Kunianthodath, who took the trouble to animate us, listen to us,
and bear our grievances with a fatherly concern.
We are indeed grateful to our friends of all batches. We thank you most
sincerely for your friendship, support and smiles which were great sources of
encouragement for us. Thank you for being our role models of hard work and
cooperation. We will treasure your friendship and love. We wish all the best
for our outgoing friends and hope that all your dreams come true.
We have enjoyed to the fullest DVK Campus which is eco-friendly,
peaceful and homely. We cherish lovingly all the activities of our faculty. Let
me mention a few. Orientation Program that introduced us to Philosophy, Morning
Prayer that binds us together, Sramadhan that inculcated dignity of work and
enabled us to share our time and work, celebration of different states and
international festivals that helped us to love and respect diversity in unity,
seminars which broadened our knowledge, etc.
We are indebted to our
Provincial Superiors who sent us for this course. We thank most sincerely our
superiors in our respective communities who are incessant sources of
encouragement for us. We thank you for all your nameless acts of love you do to
make our stay and study comfortable and memorable.
Lastly, though we feel sad
to bid farewell to our Faculty of Philosophy, at the same time we are consoled
that we will meet again in DVK Campus as we desire to continue our studies
here. We will cherish the sweet memories of our Faculty. Thank you, everyone,
for contributing your share in our growth and happiness.
