Readers' Club Activity

Creative Minds Master Class

A Readers’ Club Activity was organized by the Department of English on 23 December
2020. The topic for the activity was “How do some of the best creative minds think?” It
explored the lessons imparted by some popular and literary minds, using the trailers of
MasterClass, a streaming platform where the world’s best writers train the aspiring writers.
The trailers screened in the class included the literary authors such as Salman Rushdie,
Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman, and Joyce Carol Oates, as well as popular authors like Judy

Blume, Dan Brown, R.L. Stine, and David Sedaris. The discussion ranged from poetry,
drama, prose and fiction, and language to wider concepts such as culture, ethnicity, creative expression and techniques of writing across genres. The session gave diverse suggestions on the art of creative writing, making many participants think, learn and rethink the topic. The session proved beneficial to all the students who contributed for the activity, the students who participated, and the faculty members present.
