Football

18/03/09 Delphinus+ Cygnus vs pegasus

This game will be remembered more for the injuries which plagued the players like Dr. Shekhar and Dr Anil. (and also because of Dr. Ananjan dragging his weight around the field J). Delphinus played well to eventually win the match by 2-1, of course with a little help from the referee,who was having a snooze fest on the ground and misread a clear offside. A special mention to Dr. Anil Biradar for his unwaivering sportsman’s spirit. The Pegasian goal was scored by our Star player Dr. Paul . Dr. Mansoor and Dr. Sanjeet scored a goal each for the Delphinus.





19/03/09 Vulpecula vs Pegasus

What a game!!! With both the teams being equally tough (who are we kidding! ), the Pegasian Dr. Paul, was unable to surpass the moving ‘Eiffel Tower’ Muneer. The Vulpeculans Saleh scored the first goal and the second was scored by Kundu. Dr. Pravish( Pegasian Goalie) managed to fly over the goal posts and held on to some stunners. But the score remained 2-0 with Vulpeculans emerging as the stars.

20/03/09 Delphinus+ Cygnus vs scorpius

The first half was an equal play with a good game by the Scorpions. But the Delphinus emerged winners with 1-0, the lone goal scored by Dr. Mansoor.

A little bird told me
That Dr. Anil Biradar suffers from a serious newsletter deficiency syndrome
and is seen hankering our poor interns for it. How about shifting the responsibility to him…. What say guys?? J J

Sandeep was last heard advising the players on the football field on how to get their names on the newsletter instead of how to get the ball in the post... J

GUT SPEAK
The terrorist within us
The Mumbai 26/11 carnage has left us shocked and devastated. It has derailed and attacked everything we stood for, uprooted our deepest beliefs and awakened us to the reality that peace, stability and our freedom cannot be taken for granted. It has not only shattered “the spirit of mumbaikars” but all of the Indians as one nation.
The fact we allowed a bunch of bloodthirsty youngsters, barely out of their teens to hold a city to ransom and take innocent lives in the carnage has not only fractured our self esteem but also caught us napping, our ill preparation and ineptness which has been nurtured all these years by our ‘Chalta hai’ attitude – our anthem for all these years.

The spine chilling tragedy has enraged us and made us acknowledge that there is indeed something seriously wrong with our security system and with us as a nation. It’s high time we come out of our passivity and stop watching our democracy being diseased and paralyzed by terrorism.

As responsible citizens we have to strike at the root of the disease by being an active part of the political process and not just by keeping vigil and demanding answers. The first step towards it would be exercising our right to vote in the upcoming elections. JAI HO

The Editorial board would like to thank Ms. Sumitra and Mrs. T. Kanaka Rekha for their cooperation.
