Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Welcome home friends, to your very own Mount Carmel Convent Anglo Indian Girl's High School Blog! This blog is an attempt to help you reconnect with your past and revive your good old school memories. How often do we get the opportunity to talk about the past....before it's too late! So lets make the most while we can still remember a thing or two of our memorable school days. A pat on our backs dear classmates, for the successful Silver Jubilee Reunion that was held on the 25th of July 2010 at The Nani Hotel, Kollam. A big round of applause to all those who travelled from far and near to attend this glorious occasion. The rain didn't dampen our spirits and the memories of the day will linger on. We are thankful to all those who contributed their valuable time to make this event a grand success and also to those who documented important parts of our school's nostalgic reminiscences. Please keep checking in for latest updates. If you are an ex-student of Mount Carmel, you are also welcome to add in your comments directly or share with us your story by sending it to us at cynthiapinto@hotmail.com and we'll post it on the blog. Thankyou.

A Loving Tribute to Our Principal
By Cynthia Pinto

Sr. Mary Patricia was an enigmatic personality with an abundant aura of grace. Her very presence would inevitably call our attention to drop everything we did to hear her speak. I am often reminded of a few instances of my interaction with her and wish I could turn back the clock just to relive them. Throughout my student life, I realized that she was distinctively different but never fully understood her worth. I thought she rarely smiled and when she did, I knew it made a world of difference to me. So preoccupied with my own life, I never stopped a moment to think how lucky I was to be endowed with such a unique principal.

Looking back, today I have many regrets. I wish I could stop by at Mount Carmel Convent and thank her profusely even if no words were enough to do so. Though she’s no longer with us anymore, I would still like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for all the dauntless efforts she has so selflessly undertaken to uphold the spirit and motto of our school. May God grant her Soul Eternal Rest!

Reunion Felicitation
By Sheroo Philip (‘85 Batch)

My very dear friends,

It is indeed a rare honor for me to be asked to speak at this reunion. My warm greetings to each and every one of you present here. I take this opportunity to greet you all on behalf of our friends who are presently in the UAE and the Gulf. 

As we look back today at the brief but wonderful time we spent at Mount Carmel, we instinctly compare our high school days to that of our children and the kids of today.  I wonder how many of them would say that the days they spend at high school are one of the best times of their lives as many of us do. It is hard to convince a student that he or she would encounter problems more difficult and complicated than algebra and geometry. The friends we make in school and college stay with us for the rest of our lives.  It is ironic that we spend our school days yearning to graduate and our remaining days carrying nostalgia about our school days.

At this occasion, the first people we must acknowledge are our parents and teachers.  They are the people who have played a vital part in making us who we are today.  So dear friends, let us join together in expressing our sincere gratitude to our parents, teachers and other staff of Mount Carmel.

Today we raise a toast to our memories, the students, athletes and friends we once were – reunited now, reliving a shared past.We remember our friends – those with us now, those who couldn’t make it and those who are no longer with us. Don’t be dismayed at goodbyes.  A farewell is necessary to meet again. So bye! thank you and let us meet again! Check out the 'MCC Reunion Video' link for my 'Reunion Felicitation'.
