THE CREATIVE CORNER inaugurated its activities for the academic year 2011-12 with a bang on the 16^th of September, with the launch of the CREATIVE CARNIVAL- an intra-collegiate literary fest, which even inspired the teachers to come forward and participate! What more could we have asked for!

The seminar hall was jam packed for talk by Radio Jockey Sreeja Mohan of FM RAINBOW which was encouragingly interactive with the students loving every moment of their interaction with her. She said it best when she said, "It is not old fashioned to be nice. A sense of responsibility is a prime asset not only for a Radio Jockey but for all professions."

As the semester comes to an end, we at THE CREATIVE CORNER are here with the 2^nd edition! Speaking of the ignorance that a majority of Indians live in regarding the North Eastern Indian states, Namita highlights the struggle of Irom Sharmila, which makes for a powerful read. Furthering the tone, Narayan takes up the case of the inequality of law when it comes to punishing ‘corrupt’ politicians. Do not miss the refreshing poems by Raghunandan, Varsha, Suhasini and Navya which explore the depth of the human mind in altered states. Finally, the brilliant write up on the ‘Orator who fell.. .’ will surely inspire many of you. The author has preferred to be called the ‘THE ORATOR’, and I am looking forward to the kind of buzz that it will generate.

I take this opportunity to thank all the contributors to the 2^nd edition of THE CREATIVE CORNER for their contributions. I hope the readers will cherish them as much as I have had the pleasure in reading them myself. The Department of English also extends its best wishes to you all for the on-going festive season. We wish you all a beautiful time ahead!
