Its raining...

Last night I was reading random articles when I came across a poem by Lisa G that evoked pleasant memories. I am sure you will enjoy reading it:


A cozy Rainy day -A rainy day memory from my childhood days
I love the cozy feeling I get on a rainy day
It's nice to come in from the rain, and set inside and play
My Daddy has a deck of cards reserved for that special day
When life slows down and everyone's inside and doing okay
We set for hours playing in total contentment on this noon day
The lightening, a bit frightening
My mom's, cozy on the couch
Our kitten, gives my brother a loving touch
We're all cozy and warm inside
when the pitter patters approach
Rain Rain, please don't go away
Stay with us just for one more day

Strike a chord for health and more...

Street theatre is the earliest form of communication. The street plays or Nukkad Nataks are concise yet they possess this mesmerizing power to speak directly to the audience and strike a chord in their hearts.
A Nukkad natak by World Lung foundation was performed in college grounds on 10 August 2010. It was well-received by students.

The day also witnessed activities organized by Red Stockings Literary Society. First, there was JUST A MINUTE (JAM in popular usage) Competition which was followed by preparing Logo for the society.




The purpose of JAM is to develop quick thinking together with good speaking, good grammar and appropriate use of words. The speakers were given half a minute to think and another minute to speak on the topic. They were scored on the basis of their content, confidence, comprehension of the topic and manner of speech. Some of the topics were I wish I was a bird, my idea of perfect weekend, perfect life, how to keep Earth green, my school days and so on.


The judges were Shrishti, Archna and Anupam from Eng Hons. IIIrd Year.

The winner was Gayatri from Eng Hons. Ist Year.

For Logo competition, there was a palpable interest amongst the audience.

Red Stockings Literary Society Elections held

The department of English runs a literary society called the Red Stockings Literary Society which holds play readings, seminars, paper readings, quizzes and similar activities through out the year.

On 3 August 2010, elections were held under the supervision of Mrs. Bhavna Kale, Head of Department, English to decide its office bearers for the academic year 2010-2011.

Orientation comes to an end

The 10 day Orientation concluded on 31st July with the screening of the movie Omkara. All this while, many interesting activities were organised for the first years.

There were video clips and powerpoint presentations on contemporary topics such as Khap panchayats, Live- in Relationships and Eve Teasing. Movies such as Maine Gandhi ko nahi maara, Gandhi- my father, Salaam Namaste and Omkara were also screened and followed by stimulating discussions.

The students enjoyed the sessions with Dr. (Mrs.) Promodini Varma , the principal of Bharati College who gave valuable tips on how to improve one's writing and oral skills.
They also found the sessions with Dr. Mukti Sanyal and Nisha Tiwari , faculty members of English Dept. as very engaging and thought provoking...particularly the one on Paragraph Writing.

Organisations such as Swechha and World Lung foundation addressed students on matters of environment and health.

Overall, the Orientation was a big success !

We hope each and everyone of you enjoyed the orientation as we did.
All the Best.
