Glass Panels – November 2025 (Year-End Special)
The November 2025 year-end special issue of Glass Panels brings together nostalgia, creativity, heritage, and campus life in a rich concluding edition for the year. Highlights include Ramanathan Srikantaiah’s evocative memoir From 16 mm to 35 mm, tracing the evolution of Open Air Theatre movie screenings; Abhishek Kumar’s witty and imaginative sci-fi tale The Time Machine, set inside IITM’s iconic hostels; and Jyoti Sahu’s lyrical poem The Banyan Trees Whisper, celebrating the campus’s majestic natural heritage. The issue also features Classified Divertisements and snapshots of distinguished visitors who graced the Centre in recent months. A reflection on transitions within the Heritage Centre—including welcoming Prof. Arun Menon as the new Faculty-in-Charge—rounds out an edition that blends memory, culture, humour, and institutional legacy.
