Activities of ELS

The English Literary Society can boast of being amongst the most active societies in SRCC. We remain active throughout the year, thanks to the efforts of members from first and second years, and from corporate bodies, in the form of sponsorship Following are some of the activities of the English Literary Society during the year :

Freshers' Welcome and Talent Hunt

The Freshers' Welcome is the event that sets the ball rolling as far as ELS activities during the year go. Conducted some time in September every year, The Freshers' Welcome and Talent Hunt are battles keenly contested. This event was held this year on 30th September.

The Talent Hunt comprises five categories namely Singing, Dancing Mimicry/Monoacting, Instrumental Music and Elocution

The Titles of Mr. and Miss Fresher are the most sought after titles amongst the First Years. The battle of glitz, glamour and intellect culminates in the crowning of Mr. and Miss Fresher. The process that goes into selecting the titles involves a preliminary scanning round followed by the main event in the auditorium. The winners this year were Mr. Fresher - Mr. Arijit Bose and Miss Fresher - Ms. Jaya Pandey

'The Write Stuff'

The 'Write Stuff' is the name of the ELS Irregularly magazine. Brought out at gaps of 10-15 days, this magazine serves as a launching pad for budding essayists, poets and the like, from college. However, this magazine is not all about serious stuff as you will discover. It includes a lot of 'non-techie' stuff such as trivia quizzes, puzzles, jokes, crosswords and much more.The Write Stuff also keeps you up to date with the latest happenings in college.

'Hush Hush'

'Hush Hush' is a daily spice magazine that is put up on the notice boad. Get to know the lesser known sides of people and events in college as Evil Eye spills the beans. Everybody who has created 'news' in college gets to enjoy a day of 'fame' on Hush Hush.

Keep those contributions pouring in......please report all the days spice to Evil Eye (find out who he/she is)!!

'Up close'

The English Literary Society will be introducing a series of events called 'Up Close', which give you a chance to meet celebrities from just about every field, up close and personal. Find out how they made it to the top, what it takes to stay there or just about anything else you'd like to.

We would like to have as many celebrities as possible in 'Up-Close' sessions. All SRites who have sources to bring such celebrities to college, please contact the ELS President Arun Unni or ELS Secretary Shweta Jhanji regarding the same.
