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.
