It’s rather unbelievable how the months have flown by like a breeze. It seems like just yesterday, when our corridors were full of fresh faces and eager smiles. They shuffled their way into classrooms, with their books, some dog-eared and some brand new; pages waiting to be read and written on. Last term was a blur of activity and excitement. The Department Orientation welcomed the Freshers to a new world; the Freshers’ Party saw them exploring this Wonderland; and the trip gave them an opportunity to get to know their seniors, and each other, in the lap of nature and amidst the scenic beauty of Dharamshala. We’ve tried to capture these fleeting moments, ephemeral like autumn leaves, and preserve them as vignettes. We take this opportunity to welcome the Freshers aboard a voyage which they will cherish forever.
We are all aware of the dilemmas facing the department and the country, with the implementation of the Semester System and the hosting of the Commonwealth Games. Yet, we should also appreciate the brighter side to everything, celebrate the success of past events, and look forward to a promising and wonderful second term. We apologise for the delay in publishing the journal, which was due to unavoidable circumstances, and hope you will enjoy this first issue, fresh off the press. To have a room of one’s own is a privilege, as well as a responsibility, and we hope you keep writing in to us. Because we share Atwood’s conviction that ‘word after word after word is power’.
