Spandan @ IIIT B !!!

Many of you must be wondering what is Spandan . Spandan is a mix of cultural activities & sports activities in IIIT B . Till 2005 , many such activities were conducted , but from 2006 onwards Spandan is now reduced to a mere Sports activities . This year juniors were responsible for conducting Spandan .

The various sports activities that were included in this year's Spandan were :

  • Cricket
  • Volleyball
  • Carroms
  • Table Tennis
  • Chess
  • Badminton

Though sending out a formal invitation to all the current IIITBians and to the Alumni was bit of hotchpotch , but finally all were informed in some or the other manner . Spandan finally got underway on 9th February 2008 with Cricket - the king of all games in India . There were total 9 teams who wished to participate for Cricket ; 2 from Alumni , 3 from Juniors and 4 from our batch . The teams were divided into 3 pools based on the famous chit system . My team was in Pool ' B ' . I was unanimously chosen to lead the side .

Since some of the players were not available in the next week , I requested the coordinators Rohit and Abhilash to schedule our league matches on 9th and 10th itself .

Our squad was :

  1. Rakesh
  2. Santosh VKRN
  3. Srinidhi
  4. Santosh S
  5. Chandrashekar R
  6. Karthik T
  7. RangaPrasad
  8. Gurudatt
  9. Sagar
  10. Vijay

The inaugral match was between my team and one of the Alumni team who were one of the serious contenders to win the Tournament . The match was slated to start at 9 am .

I know , that this post is too late ( and too old as well !!! ) . But to keep you people updated , I will be posting about the daily events .

Till then keep guessing and keep visiting my blog for the latest updates !!!

Cheers !!!
