 Literature cannot be defined in a single
sentence. It spans across several aspects of our
lives. It gives us comfort when we're tired of
the world, provides us with reflections of
society in mere typewritten pages, and serves
as a timeless medium of artistic excellence,
yet this description still does not cover the
versatility of the discipline. Today's world is
deeply connected to literature, paving way
for and several avenues that enable
discussions related to various aspects of
society, philosophy, the human mind, and
the art of writing itself.
As students of English, we appreciate the joys
literature has brought us and hope to share
the same joy with other students of our age
and through this, explore how literature can
influence our creativity.

Therefore, as a celebration of Literature, we

bring to you
