EDITOR'S NOTE
Sweating it out every single day, tackling numerous writer’s blocks, editing
pages and pages of content good and bad, and practically bringing
Scintillations to life from scratch has been quite a climb. And it has been
hard. But there’s no denying that the view that it has brought along with it is
worth all that pain. Amidst the conflict, the discussion, discourse, and of
course the multitude of suggestions that came along with it is the reason why
this edition of Scintillations has been possible. We were quite amazed, even
dumbfounded, at the response we received to our call for articles. Speaking
about this reminds me of something Jodi Picoult said.
“You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page”.
To all the writers whose articles have been featured, I shake you warmly by
the hand. The range of articles from poetry to prose to even random thoughts
that you have given us is just amazing, and to all of the readers who’ll be
reading this, I have absolutely no doubt when I say that they will be
transported to worlds unknown, and laugh and cry with the characters.
Thank you for not giving us blank pages, and instead, filling our hearts and
souls with sheer bliss. To all those other writers, reach higher than the moon
next time, and I’m sure you'll end up in the stars.
With that being said, I present to you Scintillations 2018-19, and the team
that has made it all possible.
Thank you for being there, and I could not have asked for a better team.
Thank you for helping to put together the very first writing workshop our
college has ever witnessed, and encouraging and standing by every single
decision I took. I thank the Excore for having brought us together, and the
management and our faculty coordinators Mrs. G. Alamelu and Mr. P.
Duvaraganathan for their never-ending love and support.
Signing off,
