With this issue of IMZine, the team wanted to cover material which would be different from that in the other magazines. And which would be informative, yet presented in an informal way. Hence, the decision to move from articles to slideshows. And the same ‘informative and informal’ theme holds for this edition’s content as well. We wanted to facilitate discussions among readers, and therefore this edition features comments section for each topic too.

Owing to the rigorous multitasking that is required from every IIMCian it becomes really difficult to keep track of everything going around in the campus. Our literary club, Persona, comes to rescue by publishing Inquest, a periodical which chronicles the major activities on the campus apart from interviews of professors, opinion pieces by students and witty cartoons taking a satirical view at the world within Joka.

Apart from this Persona also releases an online magazine called IMZine which consists of insightful articles and opinion pieces about the world outside. Articles as wide as “Thinking through Conglomerates”, “The Latest in Nuclear Technology and its Significance to India”, “Periodic review of Indian cricket team’s performance” and “The Enduring Magic of Akira Kurosawa” find place in this magazine broadening the horizons as well as keeping IIMCians informed.

Beyond this the club is responsible for conducting many literary events on campus including Disputatio – Persona’s flagship debate event, Creative Writing competitions and minor events like DumbC, Pictionary, etc. It has been found that successfully acting out “The Treasure of Sierra Madre” to a bunch of guys who are unaware about the movie is the perfect tonic to beat the midterm blues.
