The English Literary Club

- Akshaya Bhat

Who we are:

      You know those “peters” at your college who speak only the Queen’s English? Use words like corpulent and pulchritude? Correct your grammar at every possible opportunity? That’s NOT who we actually are. We, like you, are hunting for those people; to find and slaughter them. Let us know if you find them.

What we do:

       We, at the English Literary Club, give a platform to orators, pat the reticent writers, applaud the actors and engage in fierce debates over anything and everything.

ELC and Instincts:

      The ELC hosts a wide range of lit events every year for Instincts, SSN’s Annual Cultural Fest. Peppered with humour, witty exchanges, grammar nazi-sm and more humour, JAM is the most popular every year, along with our very own ‘ The SSN Debates’ which sees heated exchanges and opinion clashes, over a variety of issues, from the hopelessly mundane to the practically relevant.

     Celebrities in distress fight for the last remaining life-jacket at ShipWreck, proving to be masters of persuasion, leaving the Captain baffled- Who should he offend- Rajinikanth or the Pope?    

     The writers find our green lawns conducive, as they unscrew the cap and set out to prove words are mightier than the sword.  Creative writing, the old favourite!                                   .

     Somewhere down the line, evolution started to produce multi-faceted geniuses. The ELC decided to cater to these people and came up with Pot Pourri, an assorted bag of various events. Every year, the participants stun the audience with their multifariousness.

                     

What we have in store for Instincts2k14:

        All of the above, revamped and better; and lots more. Stay tooned! Chop chop.
