Few are orator by birth. But few individuals have become an orator due to voracious reading and practising extempore speech. Globalization not only demands flawless English speaking but also thinking in English.

Ganesha Chaturthi is celebrated in the month of Bhaadrapada. Students are always excited and they want to celebrate it with full potential in colleges. Ganesh Chaturthi starts with the installation of these Ganesh Statutes in colorfully decorated homes and specially erected temporary structures pandals in every locality. Students also bring the idol of Shree Ganesha by collecting monetary contributions. The same I had seen in our college campus, inside the boy’s hostel. They had erected a stage and decorated the idol with beautiful flowers.   However they are not aware about the significance of the Idol of Lord Ganesha and the purpose behind the decoration of the stage or pandal. He is worshiiped as the lord of beginnings and as the lord of removing all kinds of obstacles, the patron of arts and science, and the God of intellect and wisdom.

When the faculties stay connected with students then only they can understand there developmental needs. Earlier concept of academic teaching was that guru was a person who will be a role model for the disciple. But with changing trends the concept of guru has transformed to gurubandhu. Gurubandhu means a guru is not only a role model but also he is a friend on whom students can confide. There is a wide difference between playing a role of a parent and playing a role of a friend. Parents are generally over protective however friend always supports to take a calculative risk. Thus the calculative risk makes a person an innovator however an over protective environment leads an individual towards monotonous task performer.

College students might not appreciate tradition and culture or maybe they are not aware about their cultural background.

When students can practice on line whatever they learn in textbooks is really effective. Due to ICT it is easy to teach the students even languages especially foreign languages. Mother tongue is easy to learn but when an individual has to learn a secondary language then it is a herculean task. But due to language labs it has become a cake walk. Due to globalization the concept of global village had made it mandatory to learn and speak English. It is a language which is accepted worldwide for communication. The students can easily learn the language with the help of language lab. The software related to language lab not only enhances the reading, writing, speaking skills, but also helps to speak with accent.

The days in college which are celebrated before annual day celebration are golden moments for students. If we say that life is a photograph then it is obvious that the sweet memories are the memorable moments. Rero day in college was celebrated this time. The Bollywood era of 60s was back. In college campus I had felt as if Rajesh Khanna, Devanand, Amitabh Bacchan are roaming and of course Hemamalini, Mala Sinha, Mumtaz as well. If we think about the significance about these days celebration in the college then we can notice the creativity of the students. Really I feel that all work no play makes jack dull. May be due this reason college festivals are organized.
