The month was also fortunate to have the first screening for the movie club where students get to watch good documentaries and movies. This time too, there was something unique. Unlike what we had expected, a documentary about Bermuda Triangle was screened followed by the first episode of the Season One of the American action drama "Prison Break" which was intriguing from frame one. Can’t wait for the next week!
