Catharsis - The Photography Society

Founded as BECPhoS [Bengal Engineering College Photographic Society] in 1971 and later reformed as Catharsis in 2009, this society has come a long way. Catharsis is a platform for creative expressions through the medium of photographs. Photography is a way of capturing moments, memories and preserving them forever. Catharsis aims to inculcate a love of photography among students. Seeing the universe through the lens, it helps young photo-enthusiasts to interpret a world of their own. The objective of Catharsis is to inculcate the love for art photography among the student community. Looking through the lens, we attempt to present our own interpretation of the complex world around us, with the faint hope that this will help us to move one small step forward towards a better tomorrow. Catharsis carries the legacy of BECPHOS, the first photographic club of this institute (then known as the Bengal Engineering College) that was established in the seventies. BECPHOS was active for about a decade, before fizzling out in early eighties due to various reasons. After a long, bleak period, in 2008, a handful of students of BESU decided to pursue photography as an art. That is how Catharsis came into being. Email address : catharsis.besus@gmail.com

LitSoc - The Society of literature

The one stop for all your literary and creative needs, that is how the literary society 'LITSOC' is defined which is one of the most educating and creative societies of our college IIEST. If you've got a knack for expressing your emotions and thoughts eloquently on a piece of paper, if you're able to piece together a bunch of letters into some words and arrange those individual words to possess a coherent meaning that leaves an indelible mark on the reader's consciousness, start running and don't stop until you've joined us. But in an engineering college, such individuals rarely exist. So, this goes out to all of you. To each and every individual who is reading this. Even if you've never written for writing's sake before, even if the very mention of Mark Twain or Shakespeare sends a shiver down your spine, we are here for you. And we desperately want you to join us. Why? What do you have to gain from this? We'll give you an argument you won't be able to refute. In a single day, we face different situations that invoke various emotions. Sometimes we are happy. Mostly we are irritated and exasperated. We believe emotions need to be released periodically. It's like gas – The longer you hold it in, higher is your discomfort. However, gas can't be trapped inside indefinitely. Sooner or later is seeps out (Ignore that!). Emotions are much easier to subdue. But they are much more lethal. Suppressed emotions can wreak havoc. They can destroy your mental makeup. You can be doing a fairly good job of confiding it until Wham! One day, a minor incident can trigger a flood, and all the emotions pour out in a turbulent mix of feelings and sensations which overpowers you and drains you completely. We don't want that to happen to you. Emotions are meant to be expressed. And if not in speech, then surely in writing; Writing's a sure shot way to release all your frustrations, all the insecurities, doubts and anger that has accumulated in your mind over the course of the day. It makes you a tad bit happier. You feel peaceful. We want you to have that. We are a fledgling society; we need all the help we can get. Over the course of our brief existence, we've published two e-magazines, both of which have been well received. We aim to create an atmosphere conducive to creativity and originality. In the coming days, we have a lot of exciting events lined up for you. You're going to get plenty of opportunities to indulge the writer in you. We hope you have been motivated enough to join us! We are waiting for you. Contact : litsociiests@gmail.com Sekhar Chowdhury: 9474669049, Saniul Haque: 9163174307, Anurag Malakar: 8961409440

DebSoc - The Debating Society

The aim of the society is to serve as a platform for avid debaters and help build a debating culture on campus. his group allows people from the past and present of IIEST,Shibpur (erstwhile BESU) to debate on any topic posted. Whilst being reasonably inclusive and generally pretty slack, there are some caveats to this: 1)There is no restriction on choice of language. Use the medium you are most comfortable with! 2) Try your best to remain civil. Constant rowdiness will result in a ban. 3) We don't mind a bit of trolling now and again, but if it becomes disruptive, then again, it will result in a ban. 4) We're *not* an open forum to advertise other pages/your own products/your crap band etc. Doing so will result in the posts being deleted. Do it more than once, and the banhammer comes out again. 5) Any citation requests must be met or the point conceded. This is a debate group, not a 'post your opinions and hope for the best' group. 6) All forms of personal attack will not be tolerated, (this is including racial, religious, gender and sexual orientation based slurs will not be tolerated. You will receive one warning and if you continue banning will most likely ensue. Members should be able to enjoy civil debates and discussions without personal attacks. 7) No threads about other members, especially not derogatory ones. 8) Do not delete comments or threads. Do this more than once and it will be a ban. 9) Posts must be questions or debate topics. Not a picture of a cat or something. Memes et al are fine, as long as there is an accompanying debate point. 10) Anyone caught with multiple accounts in here will find all of their accounts removed. 11) DO NOT BLOCK ANY ADMIN. I don't care if you hate them, if you block an admin you will be banned. They kind of need to see what you're up to. ;) Right, we think that's all of the rules. Lastly, just a couple of things to consider: 1) Has an admin deleted your comment? Tough. They obviously thought it broke one of the above rules. Complaining about it will achieve nothing. 2) All of the admins are the world's greatest people, and should be treated as demi-gods at all times. I may or may not be able to back this up empirically.
