Sports event



In my last post i mentioned about the Inter -BBE sports event which was scheduled from 5-10..!!
Well this post is dedicated to the event only..!!
Getting up everyday at 5 coming back at 5 and then dozing off by 8 and sleeping like a log was how the week flew by.
Our college won 5 golds 3 silver and 5 bronze and came 3rd
I personally won 2 bronze (took part in 3 events). The event was held at Ram Lal Anand (E) College near South Campus. We,friends,used to meet near our college and then take a bus(gosh!!) to reach the campus area and from there used to sometimes walk (imagine 8.30-9 in the morning) or taking an auto to reach the college ....wait hang on-2 days we also went in cabs(hang on) not that 10 Rs/km ones.... but those call centre cabs whose drivers after dropping the call centre people back.... charge 10 bucks per person for a distance just to earn a quick buck!!

The college though not in a great shape: cricket field consisted more of rocks than grass and so on.... the college must be given credit and due for hosting such an event , and yes the event was very well organized though there were some glitches like clashing of main events like football , cricket and volleyball in some cases and in games there were cases of 'home advantage' or you may call it cheating (in football and cricket especially)....!!
The home advantage reached to such an extent that we almost walked off in the middle of the semis against RLA(E) and Shivaji DID walk off in the finals (cricket).
I still remember the joke that our team(3rd) and Shivaji(2nd) cracked on the RLA (1st) team that they should consider sharing their cricket Gold with the Umpires.

The opening ceremony on 5th included the march past and the oath taking ceremonies.The refreshments were fine and the only interesting part was that they gave different fruits on 3 days and then repetition lol.

Our college just had around 10 days to prepare and considering that we did a remarkable job
while colleges like Gargi and RLA(E) which were the top 2 colleges in the medals tally were preparing for months and both had coaches for their respective sports.

The motto was the usual of team building, leadership etc..!!

From walking like mad from the college to the bus stop to stopping auto rickshaws and asking them whether they would consider going to Banglaore (ohhhh sorry) Bengaluru.... to chatting up with the ice cream vendor infront of South campus gates to going to keventors it was fun..!!

All in all I would say that it was one week well spent.... enjoyed with friends, cracked jokes,relaxed met new people and yes won medals....!!!!!
