https://strokes-steel.vercel.app/ The basis of all sorts of art is imagination. Stay colourful.

Before the formation of words, writings or papers , the medium of expression was done by gestures and designs . In later era, various ways of expressions led to form different forms of arts- Music, Dance, Drama , Literature and Drawings etc. The level of expression of imagination defines the beauty of Art. Gestures could not be defined if it had never been noticed. The work of Photographer is to d

efine the iconic gestures. Its like a whole new category in Modern Art. STROKES- the club of Art and Photography presnts before you the game of Rangbaazs.

From the chaos of last-minute submissions to the peace of silent library corners, from painting ovals and colouring streets with our madness to those never ending club meets that somehow became our daily therapy. We built more than memories here.

Batch of 2026 wasn’t just a group of students. We were late-night planners, accidental artists, chai philosophers, event survivors, copies of Ishan Avasthi and Farhan Quereshi, and each other’s constant in between semesters and storms.

One day these corridors will forget our footsteps, but the walls we painted, the laughter we left behind, and the stories hidden in every nook and cranny of the campus never really will.

The scent of fresh paint lingered in the air, brushes resting momentarily as shadows moved back and forth in quiet urgency. The projector blazed brightly, casting the carefully crafted mural designed on Illustrator onto the wall. Hours slipped by like seconds; sweat dripped onto the cement floor as a masterpiece slowly came to life across the campus walls.
Night after night, a group of students unleashed their creativity, refusing to let it be buried beneath the weight of academics.

What now stands at the Oval Stands is more than just a vibrant wall painting which is perfectly portrayed through this after movie.

They say windows are meant for looking out, but to us, they are just as much about letting things in new worlds, fresh perspectives, timeless stories, endless sense of curiosity and so on...

The mural on the library wall stands as a celebration of that very curiosity, a reminder that every book, every page, every line we read can open a window to something unknown, something waiting to be discovered. It reflects the quiet magic of learning, where ideas take shape and imagination finds its space.

Welcome to our latest chapter, and perhaps, the beginning of yours.

Through the lens of Team Strokes, we present to you a night that stayed in everyone's heart.

Standing in the crowd, hearing a line you've known for years, somehow it feels different. And somewhere in between, it quietly hits you, that a voice you've grown up hearing, through headphones and half-forgotten days, is now right there in front of you.

With Cactus at Recstacy, it was that perfect blend of familiar Bengali melodies, modern rock and fusion elements that just felt easy to be a part of.
