Bard of Novices: Freshers 2021
On Saturday, the 22nd of January 2022, the English department organised the Department’s Virtual Freshers for the batch of ’24. Choosing the theme gothic accoutered the freshers’ fashion as well as the skills they showed off in the open mic, with a spooky twist.
The event began with a hearty welcome from the department seniors, as everyone joined the meet keeping true to the theme with grunge makeup, Halloween-ish outfits and thematic virtual backgrounds. The first event was an open mic with an impressive line up and assortment of performances including poetry recitation, story-telling, mimicry, beautiful renditions of Lana Del Rey, Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift and a zestful solo dance. Each performance and the applause that followed left the freshers in high spirits.
The next part of the evening brought in a literary treat in the form of a quick blackout poetry session continuing with the gothic theme, for which the entries were posted on Instagram.
The virtual yet lively freshers came to an end not before paving the way towards new beginnings, friendships, years of love and laughter, and many more talent filled events and performances, for this excited new batch, or Bard of Novices.
