WEEK IN BRIEF 24-29 January, 2011

Quote for the Week:


“Happiness is like a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you”- Nathaniel Hawthorne

All of us are in search of happiness and contentment in our lives. We always look for different ways in which we can be happy. Some try to find happiness in materialistic possessions while others find happiness through sharing and giving. Some even try to find happiness through ways which others keep themselves happy. What we all forget is the fact that happiness lies within us. Only when we realize our true self can we attain a peace of mind. When we calm ourselves and stop running after happiness, it comes to us like a butterfly.

Last week, the Career Centre hit the town of Trivandrum with a bang. The Mega Job Fair conducted at Mar Ivanios College, Nalanchira was the first one of its kind to be held by the IPSR Career Centre at the capital city. The event was a great success with around 22 companies participating including Wipro, Allianz Cornhill, UST Global, Geojit Securities and Poornam Info Vision etc. This has been a good start for the Career Center for the many more placement events to be organized there in the coming days.
