Unity at it's Best!!

Here I am, reporting live from the location where one of Kerala's most noteworthy protests is happening.. ..I am talking about none other than the institution I proudly claim to be studying in and i.e. TKM College of Engineering ,Kollam. This is the third day of the protest and it is getting intense by the second... .

Originating due to problems in getting hostel accommodation...the s3 boys started protests which led to misunderstandings between the students and faculty which further led to verbal and physical conflicts...

With unreliable evidence in the hands of the faculty, 13 boys had been temporarily suspended from the college thus leading to these boys not writing their examinations... What was so sad about all of this was that among the thirteen,almost all of them were innocent and had nothing to do with the situation...

Okay... They got suspended.. They couldn't write the exams.... Their parents got called.... Even though it was not fair... We all kept quiet.... But later when the management authorities gave in a year suspension.... We had it!! That was when the ice broke!!! We were out of the classes and in front of the principal's office revolting against the injustice done to these thirteen innocent students.

Yesterday,the second day of the strike was the beginning of something new... Something different.... It was a sight worth a watch!!!! All of us together... United... Protesting... Fighting for one cause.... It's a beautiful sight..... It's gives you the assurance that no matter what happens to you... Whatever shit you might get into... There is always a helping hand.... And it's not just our friends who would be there for us... But all the seniors as well... And that is why I can proudly call myself a TKMite.....

And today on the third day... We are all gathered around... Im front of the college... Holding protest cards and shouting out slogans and giving strength to all those thirteen students by giving them the assurance that everything would be alright and that we would not give up till everything is solved!!!! Not even the police could stop us!!!!

And for making all this possible... We first of all thank our union TECHNOS and the union chairman Vishnu Nair M T for being with our batch through thick and thin.... And also all our fourth year seniors for sacrificing everything and taking time off from their lives to help us in the time of need..

So... This is something we all need to experience.... This sort of unity.. This sort of strength..... Trust me... It changes you as a person....
