Strokes The Official Art and Photography Club of NIT Durgapur
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.

Somewhere between lectures, assignments, and deadlines, these tables slowly became a part of our routine.

There was always a reason to end up here. Birthdays meant squeezing ten people around a table meant for four. A quick tea break somehow stretched long enough for the next class to become optional. Over time, Wonder’s Cafe became home to our loudest laughs, endless gossip, and the memories made without planning.

Years later, you probably won’t remember what you ordered that day but the memories made around these tables will stay with you.

The ordinary moments were never so ordinary after all.

Every Post-class hunger meant a quick plate of Maggi. Every study session at the library was accompanied by cold coffee. Light-hearted gossips with friends or serious discussions in the exam week, every conversation found it’s way over a cup of masala chai.

This place had been a quiet constant, a bond shared among the people who stayed.

That’s when we realized, the best parts of life were hidden in the ordinary.

The best meals were never really about the food.

Everyday, the same lines, the same complaints, the same tables. The roti that was too hard, the dal that was always questionable and yet, somehow, the best conversations happened right here. You didn’t come for the menu. You came because your people were already there.

Maybe home is where you learn to laugh at the food together.

Ordinary by every measure. Irreplaceable in every way.

The moments worth keeping were never on any schedule.

The 1am maggi runs where nobody has money but it always works out somehow. The coffee at Nescafe where you sit down for 10 minutes and end up staying for 2 hours. The chai at Jhoops, coding round trauma and all. The mess food complaints that became a whole bonding ritual. The birthday treats at Wonder’s where the birthday person never leaves without being looted.

Somewhere between all of this, college happened.

REVERIE is our way of saying the chaos, these people, these places, they’re all worth celebrating. The memories you didn’t know you were making.

Every stroke carries a story, every shade holds a feeling, and every blank page becomes a world of imagination. National Drawing Day - is a reminder that art is not just about perfection, it’s about expression, passion, and the courage to turn thoughts into something visible.

To every artist who keeps creating despite self-doubt, comparisons, or imperfect lines, every sketch you create reflects a part of your imagination. Keep drawing, keep imagining, keep turning blank pages into stories.

Happy National Drawing Day! 🎨🖌️

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.
