‘Creative Writing’ is the innate power of an individual that makes him unique, ‘one’ among us. A creative writer can never be someone vindictive, since he exercises humanity through his writing. Therefore everyone should be a creative writer to be more humane than other humans. To uphold this message English Literary Club ELC DIU-PC has published its first Wall Magazine on 06 August, 2016. Students, teachers and administrative officers of Permanent Campus submitted poems, short stories and other creative writings. Among 34 submissions 23 write ups have been selected for publication.

English / Ode to Poetry

« on: December 02, 2015, 12:24:16 PM »

Ode to Poetry
Mir Md. Fazle Rabbi

You did not choose me,
I don’t know why.
It’s me, who chose you
Cause you are shy.

Never thought to write you,
You are like a moon.
I’m not an astronaut
How I catch you soon?

Reluctant to come closer
You are my new bride,
Winning you is considered as
Something of my pride.

Trying hard to convince you
Like a teen-age boy,
Blushing red in vacillation
You are such a coy.

Unable to approach you
Feeling disastrous, 
You seem the only test 
I can never pass.

Contemplating all my time
Keeping you in mind,
Trying hard to get you dear
Don’t be so unkind.

In my dream came you then
With a blazing beam,
Told me to be friend with
Pen and paper team.

Sitting in solitude, I
Write words, a few
Suddenly I find out that
It’s none but you.

English / Body language reveals your inner self

« on: November 22, 2015, 01:44:44 PM »

How Body Language Reveals Emotions and Thoughts

Body language is an outward reflection of a person's emotional condition. Each gesture or movement can be a valuable key to an emotion a person may be feeling at the time. For example, a man who is self-conscious about gaining weight may tug at the fold of skin under his chin; the woman who is aware of extra pounds on her thighs may smooth her dress down; the person who is feeling fearful or defensive might fold their arms or cross their legs or both.
