This rock formation at he college Hill, adjacent to the CMC Vellore campus has remained in this present form for at least 116 years, since the college was established. It would have remained like this much beyond this period of time!
This rock formations from the bottom to the top of the hill makes the hill striking and inspiring.
Recently, when Anna and I climbed this hill along with our children and grand children, it was a family occasion of many recollections. Both boys and Anna who studied at CMC Vellore would have climbed this hill scores of times, because it is adjacent to both the men's and women's hostels. Also it is one place students would want to visit because the view from the top is breathtaking and it seems to bring some unusual energy every time one climbs the hill.
I too remember climbing this hill many times during my time of fifteen years at CMC. The occasion I remember mostly is when we climbed the hill to have the sunrise Eucharistic service on the Easter morning! The breakfast after the service was like a 'seashore experience', when Jesus had breakfast with His disciples after His resurrection!
