The Yuvardha Insider

Bringing you all the latest News, Views, Gossip and more that you might have missed out during the day. Day 1; Issue 1:26.9.2013

EDITORIAL I have the distinct pleasure of presenting to you today the first ever Edition of The Yuvardha Insider. Let me confess to you at the very beginning that after an intense process of selection I have appointed myself to write this Editorial for you guys. It took a lot of coercing, blackmailing and hounding my PR team mates for days together to get this job so be, rest assured that Im the best person to be doing this. Now, unlike other times rather than making this Editorial about myself lets focus on something a little more important (not by much though) that is Yuvardha III. Yuvardha enters into its IIIrd Edition this time and not expected lines is bigger, better and grander than ever before. We had teams pleading, bargaining and even threatening us sometimes for slots but all said and done I think we have sufficiently managed to accommodate all interests and requests to everybodys satisfaction. The first day in my opinion was nothing short of electric with frantic last moment registrations, rigorous practice sessions, intense matches, injuries, tempers, passion everything packed into one( We would have made Karan Johar proud). A few moments that personally stood out for me was GNLU foreign participants having a gala Indian sporting experience and also giving the ladies the blushes, the RGNUL-NLUJ sporting rivalry being on ample display, some guys repeatedly feeling thirsty( Chaandni, oh meri Chaandni?); The spirit displayed by the NUJS contingent etc. This according to me best exemplifies what Yuvardha stands for: a great ensemble of merit, passion, fun, frolic and emotions. With this Newsletter we have tried to capture and bring to you all these emotions which in the course of competition and rivalry somewhere might go unnoticed. In this edition we felicitate the stand-out performers, bring you message dedications, list out the memorable one-liners and much more to add to your Yuvardha experience. I hope you find it an interesting read. If there are minor errors here and there; I hope you will pardon us and encourage us in our endeavour this being our maiden effort at something like this.

HALL OF FAME(Star of the Day) In this section we recognise the stand out performers of the day. People whose efforts lifted their sides and have shone through like a beacon making them the most distinguished sportsmen of the day. In todays edition we recognise the efforts of 2 people which stood out even in their teams losing cause. Varun Narayan Iyer(NLUJ): The feisty goal-keeper of the NLUJ football whose valiant saves in the penalty shoot-out against RGNUL Patiala gave the home side a lot to cheer about inspite of the match ending in favour of RGNUL. Varun pulled off an almost match-winning effort despite having an injury on his lower thighs. We salute his sporting spirit. Vander(RGNUL): This well-built basketball player from RGNUL almost stole the match from NLUJ with his consistent 3 point shots. At a time when the team suffered a moral setback with the loss of their star player Perry, Vander stepped up and almost managed to get the team to the brink of victory. We recognize and salute his fighting spirit.

ONE LINER(Quote of the Day) We often come up with great quotes especially in a competitive environment without even realising how cool these one-liners are. So heres the best 3 one-liners that our team overheard on 26.9.2013. 1. Baal sambhalu, ki ball sambhalu- Women at Yuvardha( We sympathize) 2. Bahukhandi ko chood de . . .uski feel mat le!- NLUJ cheering squad to a totally disinterested RGNUL football player.

3. Ganpati Bappa Moriya- GLC cheering squad( This one makes it for the sheer context-phrase mismatch quotient)

EDITORIAL SNIPPETS(News that did not make it). We wish Perry from RGNUL, Patiala a speedy recovery from his injury. You have always been entertaining and we hope to see you back in action soon.( Wait, was that just a sprain?). There were love message dedications to Vatsala Kumar and Ajita Tandon from NLUJ. But the PR team is shit scared of their boyfriends Viraj Gandhi and Shikhar Saha and chose not to publish the same. (Lovers note that they already have boyfriends!! Tch Tch)

A certain Moot Court Committee member confessed to us that Sagar Gupta from NLUJ flirts with all the senior girls(Wonder who that could be?)

The PR team thinks that the message for the hot Patiala guy from Chandigarh is for Vander and from a NLUJ Ist year girl.(Just playing Cupid)

There were also silent murmurs heard of a demand to make Candy Crush Saga and Temple Run official sports in the next edition.
