Tales and Thoughts – Session 3: Emotions, Creativity, and Stories That Spice Up Life 13th August 2025


🎭 Tales and Thoughts – Session 3 Recap

📅 Date: 13th August 2025

Session 3 of Tales and Thoughts was an inspiring blend of creativity, self-expression, and storytelling that left everyone a little more thoughtful—and a lot more expressive!

🎭 Mood Masks: Emotions Take Shape

We kicked things off by diving into the fascinating world of emotions through the making of Mood Masks. Participants explored the many faces we wear—sometimes hidden, sometimes bold—and gave them life through art. From joy to confusion, calm to chaos, each mask became a powerful, personal window into the inner world of its creator.

This wasn’t just craft—it was catharsis.

✍️ Doodle Chain: Connecting Through Creativity

Next came the Doodle Chain—a collaborative burst of imagination where everyone added their spark to a growing visual story. One doodle led to another, and by the end, what started as simple lines became a shared tapestry of wild ideas, quirky characters, and unexpected turns.

It was proof that creativity thrives in connection—and laughter.

📚 Storytelling and Book of the Day: Bhujia Barrons

The storytelling segment took a deliciously entrepreneurial turn with the introduction and recommendation of the book Bhujia Barrons.
Participants learned about the spicy journey of a small-town snack empire that grew to national fame—full of grit, ambition, and, of course, bhujia! The story sparked a conversation around family businesses, legacy, and the blend of tradition and modernity.

Everyone left a little hungrier—not just for snacks, but for stories of perseverance and innovation.

Special Recognition: Verbal Gymnast Award
We were delighted to reward Mas. Sarthak Chaurasiya (SE-ELEC) with the Verbal Gymnast Award for his outstanding storytelling and eloquence throughout the session. 

Tales and Thoughts continues to be a safe and vibrant space for creativity, curiosity, and conversation. Session 3 was no exception—thank you to everyone who brought their whole selves to the circle. See you next time with more tales to tell and thoughts to share!
