Poetry & Short Stories:
"Poetry," Paul Engle wrote, "is ordinary language raised to the Nth power." The poets in our midst were rising too.
The Covid-19 pandemic was a source of inspiration for these short stories by IIT Gandhinagar students.

About Project Isaac
A 22-year-old student by the name of Isaac Newton at Trinity College, Cambridge, found himself confined to his home, just as so many IITGN students discover themselves today. Trinity sent its students home amidst the Great Plague of London, which would decimate nearly a quarter of the city's population between 1665 and 1666. It was during this year, sometimes described as his "year of wonders," that Newton developed some of his profoundest discoveries, including early calculus, as well his theories of optics and gravity.
