Day three of the Litt-Fest 2007 was just as packed with action, excitement and fun! Starting off with the much awaited Litt-Quiz, more fun followed with the Litt-charades game and the creative writing contest . However, the most anticipated event was the valedictory function. The chief guest was none other than Mr. Imtiaz Jaleel, NDTV special correspondent. Mr. Jaleel is a journalist of repute, being selected as one of NDTV’s top 20 employees. The function was presided over by Mr. P.A. Inamdar, President, M.C.E. Society to which Abeda Inamdar College belongs.
The valedictory function also marked the official inauguration of the English department’s blog ‘Les Professuers’. (Yes, you lucky readers, you are reading it!) The editor of the blog, Ms. Mifrah Abid introduced the blog and outlined the purpose behind hosting it the students.
Mr. Imtiaz Jaleel commented on the impressiveness of Azam Campus’ infrastructure. He applauded Mr. Inamdar’s efforts in facilitating quality education for thousands of students, especially from the underprivileged and minority groups in a variety of courses and specializations. He also commented that the society needed not just educated youngsters, but also youngsters who were well informed, aware and socially responsible. He called for the students to look at journalism as a promising career option.
Mr. Inamdar lauded the efforts of the English Department and promised them of any assistance that they would require to make the students of Azam Campus proficient in the use of English. He insisted that English had become the lingua franca of the world and as such, was a key to success. He asked Ms. Mukul Joshi, Head of the department to take up the challenge and build a base of future teachers who were dedicated to achieving this goal.
The suspense behind the names of the winners was killing, and as the prize distribution ceremony began, the students were filled with excitement. The department believes in encouraging reading amongst the students and so gave away ever green literary classics to all the first prize winners.
The applause for the winners was thunderous as Misbah Ansari from Second Year B.A. was announced as the Litt-Whiz for this year. Ms. Ansari is also one of the editors of the college wall-magazine, ‘The Wordsmiths Nook’.
What followed after the next day was a picnic trip to Mahableshwar and Panchgani. Arguably, the most picturesque hill stations in the state, the twin cities made an idyllic destination to unwind after three days of exerting excitement!
