NEW

Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in the human society and in the human places, where I hope to find not an absolute truth but the truth of tale of imagination and the heart. – Salman Rushdie.

A step taken towards growth is the step which leads to achievement. An achievement exploring the new ideas by engaging them in the task and resulting them in excelling. Yes! The Literary fest was a Xavier’s endeavour which was spread over three days hosting an array of activities related to the English Language  ………. A step taken to bring back the flavour of the classic eras, engaging in Shakespearean sonnets, relishing the beauty of nature with Wordsworth and indulging in the romance of Jane Austen. The events on the first day began with the lamp lighting by the Chief Guest Ms. Anupa Lal, a famous book writer and story teller along with Ms. Venessa Ohri, an eminent theater personality.

The fest proceeded further with Ms Anupa Lal’s story telling session which left the little Xavierian’s wanting for more and inspired. Her stories were not only inspiring but the hidden moral stimulated the feelings of compassion and forgiveness in them. She also shared various tips on how to write better stories and contribute to the literature. Following it was a theatre workshop by Ms. Venessa Ohri. As it is rightly said “All the world is a stage and all the men are mere palyers”. Theater plays a vital role in shaping our skills. We all have that hidden art in us and literature helps us bring it out. The workshop focused on voice modulation and facial expressions.

The day was full of fulfilled and inspiring events like designing the book cover of your favourite author and Spellathon.

Students of grade 4-8 came dressed up as their favourite characters from their favorite book. It was enthralling to watch them delivering the dialogues of Julius Caeser, Sherlock Holmes, Cleopatra, Matilda and many more. Everyone was so finely dressed and prepared with the dialects that it was a nail biting experience for the judges to choose a winner. The treasure hunt was the most look forward event.

The ended with an inspiring session by Ms Sarbani Mandal, Senior Editor Mc Millan who guided them with tips on editing and then was the Movie show- Helen Kelller- The Miracle Worker.
