Rev. Dr. Valson Thampu, congratulated the students of 2014 batch and conveyed his best wishes to them. He stressed upon the importance of leading a joyous life and how important it is to substitute pleasure with joy which acts as an oxygen for stressful life. The very core of life he said is in accepting and liking the people and surroundings the way they are so as to have a blissful life. He also elaborated on "symbolic and materialistic" culture. The people today are only focusing on having more and more things and have forgotten who they are. He gave an example of cell phone, as to how it is acting as a hindrance for effective communication and developing as a monstrous communication. He also discussed the importance of “human patience” and emphasized that it should be a core part of an individual's life. Rev. Thampu congratulated the graduating batch for their success and blessed them for a successful life ahead.
