ABOUT US
“English language is a strange paradise. It’s where the fishes
fly and the sparrows swim.”
The English Literary Society is a group of people who are
bonded mainly, but not exclusively, by their love for English
language and literature. The club’s environment comprises
discussions set in the world of literature and provides a
space where you are free to talk about the most bizarre ideas
and curiosities that pop-up in your mind.
We at the ELS explore new methods for writing and perform at
poetry slams. TV shows, novels, films, puns, cryptic
crosswords: name your interest, and you will find like-minded
people here.
Events like DumbC (our fun twist on charades) and
Just-A-Minute ( Jammers, anyone?) are pure laughter and an
exhibit for some serious talent. Word Games are an assortment
of obsessive puzzles and sneaky humour based on the
idiosyncrasies of the English language. We also organise the
fresher's Treasure Hunt every year: a rite you don't want to
miss.
Once in ELS, always in ELS. With all that said, in ELS you
will find a welcoming, closely-knitted group of friends
unimpeded by batch (or any!) differences. Looking forward to
having fun with you!
