26th ANNUAL SPORTS DAY

“The principle is competing against yourself. It’s about self-improvement, about being

better than you were the day before.” – Steve Young

SVKM’s Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering conducted its 26th Annual Sports Day

on the 18th of January, 2020, at the Bhailal Patel Ground, in Vile Parle (West). This year was

a special year, as the college was also celebrating 25 years of providing quality engineering

education, and as its motto goes, ‘Creating Wingineers’. The inauguration ceremony was

conducted by Principal Sir, Dr. Hari Vasudevan, along with Dr. A.C. Daptardar (Vice Principal

- Admin.), Dr. Manali Godse (Vice Principal – Acad.) and Dr. Narendra Shekokar (Chairperson

- Sports Committee). Everyone offered prayers to God with a small Pooja, which was

followed by some words of wisdom by Principal Sir. Following this, all the student chapters

of the college showcased themselves in the march-past, followed by a beautiful rendition of

the National Anthem by a first year student and finally, by the torch-bearer’s ceremony.

Sport is an integral part of human life. It brings out the best in people, and prepares them to

handle all the situations that life can throw at them. This year, the following events were

conducted for all the athletes from the college:

The cold, windy weather was not an obstacle for the participants, who put their best foot

forward in these events. While the 200 Mtrs. Race (Male category) saw the maximum turnout

of contestants, the audience witnessed a fierce competition in the other events too. The events

for the teaching and non-teaching staff attracted all the students, who enthusiastically cheered

for their respective faculties. As is the tradition, the final events of the Annual Sports Day

were the Interdepartmental 4x100 Mtrs. Relay and Tug of War. These events were the perfect

example to showcase how sports can turn winning and losing into an experience, rather than

the main goal. There was also a positive interaction between the students and the faculty

members, in the form of a box-cricket match played between them, besides the running track.

This year, Mr. Jay Bista was the Chief Guest for the Annual Sports Day. He is a proficient

cricketer, and has represented Mumbai, right from his school days. He made his debut in the

Ranji trophy in the 2015-16 season, and was a part of the winning squad that year. He has

played in the First-class and List-A categories of tournaments, and is a batting all-rounder.

He has fought all the odds to stand where he is today and, in fact, has been through the entire

grind of Mumbai cricket, right from the under-14’s to the under-23’s, and was also a student

of Shardasharam Vidyamandir, the same school where The Master Blaster - Sachin

Tendulkar - studied.

The Vice Principal (Admin.) Dr. A.C. Daptardar began the closing ceremony with a speech,

followed by some inspirational words by the Chief Guest. The prize distribution ceremony

followed, and this memorable day was then concluded on a positive note, with a vote of

thanks. The guidance offered by Principal Sir – Dr. Hari Vasudevan,

Vice Principals – Dr. A.C. Daptardar and Dr. Manali Godse, the Chairperson of the Sports

Committee – Dr. Narendra Shekokar, and the efforts from the teacher’s sports committee and

student’s sports committee, all played a vital role in making this event a grand success.

the best job of representing their respective departments. They were required to make a

banner representing the various applications of their stream (known as flex), a 3-D working

model of a character representing their department (a mascot), and a duet dance performance.

Each department’s creations were assessed by an external judge who was affluent in that

field. The flexes were judged by Ms. Karishma Srivastava, the mascots by Mr. Pratik

Upadhyay, and the dances by Mr. Vinayak Ghoshal.

While the results were being tallied, the departments roasted each other by sending a

contestant from each of their departments, who targeted 3 other departments each. It was a

truly fun game, and everybody enjoyed the competition.

For mascot, the winners were Mechanical, followed by IT and Chemical. The gold for flex

went to Chemical, while Bio-Prod and Electrical shared silver and IT took bronze. Bio-Prod

won dance, leaving EXTC in second place and Computers in third. After what proved to be a

overwhelming talent. There were poems, stand-up comedies, solo as well as band musical

the Trinity committee during his time in college. He appreciated the efforts put in by the

Organizing Committee of Trinity as well as everyone who contributed to making this event a

huge success.

IDPT JUST A MINUTE (JAM)

Venue: DH1

Date: 7th March, 2020.

Trinity 2020 hosted their annual JAM (abbreviation for Just A Minute) this year with

tremendous pomp and splendour. The competition begins with a prompt given on the spot by

the JAM Master based on which the participants must speak for 60 seconds. The participant

that jams first (i.e. banging the table, in this case) gets to speak first. The participant must

speak in perfect Queen's English, with no room for grammatical errors, hesitation, stuttering

and repetition. If a participant does any of the above, the remaining may interrupt him by

jamming, state their reason, and if the JAM Master deems it valid, continue where the

previous participant left off.

To make this competition more interesting, the JAM Master may introduce something known

as a JAM Master’s Delight, whenever he pleases. This can include anything and everything

under the globe, from cheesy pick-up lines to mimicking a known personality. The Delight

may be performed before, after or in between prompts, depending on the rules decided by the

JAM Master.

Some of the prompts included narrating a story in reverse alphabetical order or without using

four letter words, and many others which challenged the participants to improvise to the best

of their ability.

The winner was Dwayne Gonsalves from EXTC, with Mokshit Mehta from Computers

coming in second, and the third place being bagged by Vedant Shah from the Mechanical

Department.
