To observe a vehicle-free day, the other day, some of the district court judges, who did not own a bicycle, asked their subordinate staff to arrange one for each of them. The staffers, including the cops on security duty, were quick to arrange the bicycles and borrowed them from their friends and relatives to “please” their respective bosses, who hogged all the limelight when they pedalled their way to the courts.

What’s in the name!

City MC House meet witnessed some lighter moments, the other day. On the issue of vandalism by couples who have written their names on structures in the Japanese Park, Sector 31, raised by a BJP councillor, his rival Congress councillor was quick to react that “you (the BJP councillor) might also have done the same while sitting in the parks when you were young”. “Inka bhi naam kisi park mein likha mil jayega (His name will also be found written in some park),” quipped the Congress councillor, sending the entire House into laughter.

Winner who?

Not only the spectators but even the guests on the dais had a tough time to observe wushu players performing during the ongoing national games at the Panjab University gymnasium hall the other day. For a layman, the discipline, which has 10 events, excluding weapon displays, is hard to understand and a perfect example was witnessed on the opening day of the championship when participants failed to get any cheers despite winning their bouts.

Politics first

SOI leadership seems least bothered over the delay in release of grant to Panjab University by the Union Government. Their leader Jasmeen Kang, who is the president of Panjab University Campus Students Council, was not even bothered to take the memorandum from other party representatives to raise this serious issue with the authorities concerned. Interestingly, NSUI leaders kept on calling him to hand over the memorandum for the delay in release of grant but in vain. It only shows that politics is supreme!Contributed by Aneesha Sareen, Amit Sharma, Deepankar Sharda and Aarti Kapur
