ROADIES....The Hell Begins......


This is not for The faint hearted, The wannabe's, The faker's and The I'm Cool's. Gone are the days of shaking hips, exploding ramp and talent showcasing.....MIND IT, this is not for the born talents, who sing and dance on the tourney to fame. Here, fame is hard earned. The journey is full of arduous tasks and unexpected challenges and if you've already accepted defeat and are thinking of giving it a quit, better send your enemies....we shall do the dirty things on your behalf.....

If by now you think you’ve got the guts to perform and brains to strategize, be ready for the game of naked ambitions that counts on courage and never-say-die spirit.

Keep searching the Hostel Walls, Keep browsing the Spardha Blog, and trust the rumours as something thrilling is on your way.........

Era of Changes:IT-Gymkhana Soars to New Pinnacle

The single largest body in IT-BHU, the IT-Gymkhana is a functionary of all co-curricular and extracurricular activities in IT. A hoard of changes have taken place in the sports facilities in IT in the last couple of years and all credit goes to the Gymkhana. During this period some new grounds have been constructed and the provision of the flood lights in some grounds have made them accessible in the night too. The Gym has also been refurbished. Some badminton and volleyball courts have also been built, courtesy of which, you can see shuttles rambling at the Gymkhana ground in the evening. Recently a handball court has also been prepared.

Despite all these efforts, some girls are still not satisfied, because the time restriction in their hostel does not allow them to take full advantage of these facilities. But still, we can say that the Gymkhana is breaking the moulds and stretching up all its limits to benefit the students’ body as much as possible. Now it is on the students to take the best advantage of these facilities because Malviyaji’s dream of overall development of the students could not be fulfilled without students’ cooperation. Ponder over it when you pass by a sports field next time...

Million Dollar Baby:1

This is series of article comprising of profile of most promising sports persons of the freshman year.

I was introduced to volleyball by my dad, who is a volleyball player himself, in class 7th. From 7th through 10th I played on and off, both in college and with the Police Lines team from whom I learnt much. However I never had the opportunity to compete in any big tournament.
I currently play spiker, but am equally comfortable with the center position. I was part of the IT volleyball team that participated in Udghosh at IIT-K this year.
I am ambitious, but also well aware of my limits. I idolize many of the senior players in IT, especially Ankur and Ranjit, who are incredible spikers. It is my aim to learn from them and achieve what they have achieved in four years within the next two years. I would also like to match the temperament of Vikas, who I believe has amazing presence of mind on the court .
People should choose their respective fields and try to excel in what they do. Other students should support their team members and cheer for them as they gear up to face tough competition in Spardha ‘09.
