LitSoc Welcomes its New Members!

The LitSoc welcomed its youngest members into the society today. The induction process to LitSoc this year was divided in two stages. The first round of inductions was based on a creative writing competition. The only rule to be followed was that the entry had to be in English. There was no specified word limit or format of any kind giving space to a lot of creativity and experimentation. The participants had to write on one of the following topics...
    Fanatic
    Recipe for Disaster
    Why so Serious?
   “We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out." -Decca Recording Company rejecting the Beatles, 1962

The time given for the exhibition of creativity was 45 minutes. Most of the participants exploited the opportunity to give a vent to their feelings and relieve the cranial compression.
The writers of the top 8 entries from the 1st round were interviewed by the Secretary and senior members of the LitSoc. On the basis of the interview, Aveek Chakravarty, Chetna Srivastava and Neham Tayal were inducted into the LitSoc. 
We extend our warm welcome to them!
