Correction in the medals tally

An error has occured in the preparation of the medals tally. It is stated that Zakir Hussain, Delhi did not win any silver medals. However, they did win a silver in football. Since BEP compiled this totally from scratch, I guess we missed out on this medal. The error is sincerely regretted.

Football Live!!! BITS WINS GOLD

Sudden death.

Number 11 from Zakir steps onto the field… and HE MISSES!!!
BITS needs to put it in, ONE penalty away from victory!! Vijay Bhaiyya steps up to the plate to take what COULD be the final penalty. He was easily the best player in the second half. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. The crowd is on their toes.

AND HE SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BITS WIN!!!! And in a split second, eyes are wet, a thousand people spill onto the field, everyone’s yelling, shirts are off, people are thrown into the air…. We won. It was a smash-and-grab but every win counts. BITS wins the FOOTBALL GOLD!!!!

Penalty 5: 4-3 Zakir.
Now ALL the pressure on Manjo as he walks steadily towards the ball. Every eye on the field on him. AND HE DELIVERS!!!
Penalty 4: The crowd is trying to play mental games with the Zakir players, but it doesn’t seem to be affecting them. Score 3-3
Arpit steps up to shouts of “come on!!” … Argh. But it’s saved by Zakir. Now it’s level at 3-3.

Penalty 3: Number 3 from Zakir scores, the BITSian goalie was helpless.
Akshay Sathe steps up to take the BITSian penalty. Nail biting tension. And he scores!!!!! 3-2 to BITS.

Penalty 2: Number 15 who was behin every successful Zakir move, bottles it. He misses and sends it wide. The BITSian supporters erupt into cheers around me. Score 1-1.
Ujjwal sends the Zakir goalie the wrong way!!!! BITS leads 2-1.

Penalty 1: Goalie went the right way, but Zakir scores anyway. 1-0 to them
BRILLIANT shot. Rachit scores. THAT’s how penalties are supposed to be taken, oozing confidence, slamming into the corner of the backside of the net.

6:31
The BITSian team appear to be imitating the “united we stand” trick. Let’s hope it proves lucky. Let the games begin!!
6:30
Sorry, we appear to be misinformed, penalty shootouts are happening. Scratch extra-time.
6:25
And full-time, it’s 0-0. God knows how they managed to hang in there. Can we hear the footsteps of guardian angels?
“We’re going into overtime, welcome to the space jam… Here’s your chance, do your dance, and the space jaamm”.
And I am cut short. Harsha solemnly tells me that it’s “extratime”. We have a ridiculously boring BEP ed.
I continue my song…
6:24
Vijay Bhiayya is really showing his juniors how it’s done, he’s the only one!!

Oh wait, is that concussion?? His own player hit the ball against his head.



The ref was no where in sight, but decidedly declared an offside. Influence from the audience? Well, it happened in front of me, so I’ll vouch for him.

BITS are taking a safety first approach, sadly that’s all they can offer right now.

Pawas: The BITSians are using their heads as much as their legs. And by heads, I means HEADS. Not brains.
6:23
Call in the medics! High boot to same guy.

Free kick to BITS. 35 yards.
There’s no Zakir player in the BITSian half, a first today.

6:22
The guy who had earlier got barged lands firmly on his backside while trying to do something funky with the ball. Do we have medics ready? He might need them soon.

6:21
“I’ll tell you what our problem is, the Zakir players have got speed and we’re just too slow”- Soumyadeep’s two cents. “Isolated, that’s what they are. And thank God there’s no extra time, our players WILL DIE.”

6:20
A brilliant pass by the Zakir team, impeccable set up… but no goal.

6:19
A BITSian player discretely shoulder charged a Zakir player just now, showing that there’s still some fight left.
6:18
Foul given against BITS more for intention than for actual contact. They look really tired, Zakir’s physical superiority clearly visible now.

6:15
Another surge to the front by the Zakir offence, really putting the pressure on the BITSian side.
Meanwhile, the BITS boys basketball team begins warm up. Here’s hoping for another entertaining game :D :D

6:13
Soumyadeep's million dollar realisation: If BITS wins now, it'll really be a smash and grab.
Football doggy seems to be displaying remarkable talent, following the ball with full concentration.


6:12
Another substitution in the BITSian side, looks like the physical strain seems to be getting to them. Number 5 of Zakir is definitely controlling the plays here. A dog apparently wants to play, probably wanting to provide the much needed support to the BITSians on the left flank.






6:07
Sorry for the interruption, we're experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment. Score still steady at 0-0, despite Zakir's forceful offence .

6:08
A succession of offsides against Zakir, the BITSian s seem to have right approach.

Brilliant block by Akshay. We need that kind of confidence at this point of time.

The BITSian team is riding purely on their luck, they seem to being hanging onto their ninth life at the moment as another attempt sails just outside the BITSian goalpost.

TT Results Updates

BITS boys team of table tennis wins Silver after being defeated by DJ Sanghvi in the finals by 3-1....Rajat of D J Sanghvi emerged as the star player of the clash in finals.

Basketball Girls

And with that loss, BITS is officially out of the girls' basketball competition.
Meanwhile, the BITS boys' team takes court to racous applause from the crowd. Their warmup seems to be more like a show of strength.
Hema: "Now they are huddling around the basketball like those crazy aliens from ET"
If I remember correctly, the aliens in ET were the nice guys...the humans were the crooked ones.

The swimming events for today started off early in the morning, as usual. The lack of participation in the aforesaid events was evident from the low turnout, of the audience as well as the participants.

The Bits-Pilani team claimed 5 golds, 3 silvers, and 4 bronze medals of this morning. Meanwhile, MNIT and SriDevi got hold of 2 bronze and 2 silver medals, respectively. One of the interesting races of the morning was 'Individual Medley' in which the players were supposed to cover 4 laps of the pool in the fastest time, but each of the four laps had to be in a different swimming style. The BITS women team introduced its captain as a participant for the event at the last moment, and surprisingly, the captain Mahima won a gold pretty easily in the race. She completed the race smoothly with a large lead.

After the morning's event were gotten over with, the BITS swimming team had a weird "Plunge everyone into the Pool !!!" session, of which the BEP reporter was made a part of, unfortunately.

We'll bring to you updates regarding the evening run of swimming events later...

BITS Girls Beat GITS in Basketball !!!

2023 hrs
The game seems to have evened out now...Still 21-14. And there goes the final whistle. BITS wins 21-14.

2022 hrs
Still typing offline...Still 21-14...Meanwhile Photog is doing a brilliant job of capturing the scene. Tripod
and cameras make them look like professionals. And looking at their pics, you wouldn't disagree either.

2019 hrs
Anubha finally breaks the GITS scoring run. 21-14 to BITS. Meanwhile, the latest in the long series of MAMA buckets has breathed its last. Also, poor CEL first yearites are also doing scoring alongwith BOSM controlz for their SLAM DUNK event. So please play the game to make their efforts worthwhile.

2017 hrs
The technical glitch is still there...I am typing offline as I speak...or type...The bandanna is not red or orange...It is pink...That's Harsha's observation. Meanwhile, BITS leads 19-14. Some semblance of a fightback from GITS.

2010 hrs
We're back after that huge technical glitch. BITS has started off the second half well. 15-6 to BITS. Meanwhile, Soumya asks "Does anyone know the outsti with the red bandanna"? Udit says "It's an orange bandanna!"

Meanwhile, news has just come in that BITS Boys have won their volleyball match. And at a timeout, the MAMA train goes once around the court.

Latest update : BITS leads the match against GITS 19-10.

1958 hrs
And after all the missed free throws, finally Varsha sinks one in. 9-3 to BITS. We are onto odd numbers now...Another cool shot from No. 10, Nupur. Latest: 11-3 to BITS.

1957 hrs
And Richa and Varsha have a mix up and give the ball away to GITS. They fail to capitalize though...

1956 hrs
Some comments about the last match:

"SRCC played well. The match wasn't interesting!! It was pre-decided. 26-8 for God's sake!!!" (Somebody needs to get the scores right)

Some MEite, "Was a very good match, SRCC passed well." (Well, they outshot and outscored the opponents as well"Meanwhile 8-3 to BITS.

1954 hrs
Too many timeouts already. It's a jittery sort of match till now. But hey, BITS is leading...No complaints there!!!

1952 hrs
And now HDC gets into the act. "DAALO RE DAALO KOI TOH DAALO"
And Varsha seems to have heard it!! 6-0 to BITS.

1950 hrs
And finally the DOPY-MAMA cheering rivalry makes an appearance. DOPY has the numbers though and many more kids on their side. Score: BITS leads 4-0. I swear it was 5-0 some time ago. Meanwhile, a pizza makes its way across the sidelines.

1946 hrs
The crowd is relatively quiet again. It seems that teams are more defensively oriented this time, making points a more precious and rare commodity than they already are.

1944 hrs

How do you pronounce "Chrrrrrrrrrakkkaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr
Chrrrrrrrrrakkkaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr" and what does that mean? The hoo-haas are understandable though. But that's what the crowd does as Anubha gives BITS a 4-0 lead.

1942 hrs
And there goes Vivek Krishnan, asking the referee to shoot a three pointer. It looks like he is going to oblige but sadly doesn't.

1939 hrs
The jerseys are really clashing. Nobody from the crowd knows who is in possession of the ball. The only indication of the teams is the side they are aiming for. Early score: BITS leads 2-0

1936 hrs
The updates are going to come thick and fast now. The teams have taken court and are waltzing their way through the warmup routines. The whistle goes and now, the match shall begin. But all is not well as the tipoff has to be taken again.
