"In the end, we all become stories" Beautifully explained by Margaret Atwood, this quote sums up the role of literature in our lives. From one liner quotations to thousands of pages building a beautiful empire, Literature has never failed to prove its aesthetic and ethical value. An opportunity to explore the depths of Literature and Arts, PGGCG 11 in collaboration with Adab Foundation organised the Chandigarh Literature Festival in the college itself for 3 days, from November 8 to November 10. It comprised of events including theatre performances and discussion on books by the authors and critical analysis of the books by the critiques and the audience. The books being discussed were also presented for sale in the college, for the people who want to explore the books in its true essence, in the paperback form. Prominent authors were with their books and stories behind them.*adding the foreign author* It was a very informative event for the students, it expanded their horizons to see the words in a book and also motivated the children to interact and get their minds clear on a specific topic. The event was open for all and students from the schools were also active participants, showing the grassroot level reach of the festival and ultimately literature. Engaging oneself with literature is the best way to reflect on what we think and have faith in old as well new ideas, and such events keep the legacy of literature alive. We thank Professor Maninder Sidhu, Department of English the coordinator of the event and Madam Principal Professor Anita Kaushal, PGGCG-11, Chandigarh for providing so many of us the opportunity to attend and learn from such a creative festival.
