Ripples of Imagination

Stories by Cherry Cherries Taglines by Champ Champions Poems by Twinkling Stars Tribute to SRM by Exploring Wings

This book came into existence with a thought that led the B.Ed student teachers from the Department of Education, SRM School of Teacher Education and Research, SRM Institute of Science and Technology - batches2021 and 2022 to reflect on how they could contribute to the existing knowledge system through literature. With the guidance of their Professor of English, a few students of batch 2021 (Cherry Cherries) who had English as their specialization took the maiden step by coming out with fiction writing that would creatively address themes and experiences in a way that broke the stereotypes particularly to suit children and those young at heart. Gradually, the entire batch (Champ Champions) went on to compose taglines to bring out positivity through simple two-liners which would serve as "Thoughts for the Day". In due course, a few students of batch 2022 (Twinkling Stars) also joined the league with the vision of composing poems that connect to day-to-day life. Finally, all the students of batch 2022 (Exploring Wings) who had English as their specialization came out with a tribute to SRM. This book is purely out of a ripple effect. Collectively, they chose to embrace a mindset of giving leads to a life rich in purpose and commitment.
