In their match against bermuda india set a few interesting stats that can be looked after
1)highest total against any nation in a world cup
2)most number of sixes in an innigs - 18.S A also shares that
3)most runs in last 20 overs - 203 and so on.follow the link for more records!![link]
so finally after a devastating defeat from the hands of the banglas india strongly came back against the other minnows-bermuda[seems they need to play atleast 2 minnows to beef up confidence].now with a good run rate they have a do or die situation against the lankans.
the match saw sehwag returning to top form thanks to the bermuda players who gave away runs like anything.the tota of 413 was the most in any ODI in a cricket world cup.everyone back in form thrashing the ball to every corner.
The bowlers also did not let the team as the the budled the bermudians for as low as 156.that was a good effort but lets see how far they go with the lankans!!
The student council of NIT Warangal hosted a two day passport camp here in the institute.Passport officers from Passport office,Hyderabad had come down here for two days to issue passport to more than 1000 students.This was one of the best jobs by the student council after it took over a few weeks ago.The college has spent over 50,000 rs in conducting this,the fund being allocated from the student activities fund!!i had a chance to interact with one of the senior officials Mr Sampath.here is an excerpt of our interaction
me: How did the idea of this camp got initiated??
Mr Sampath: The initial request must have come from the college.i am not aware of what happened initially.but later on the passport office identified the importance and gave a go to this
me: Why and what is the importance of this passport camp??
Mr Sampath: its obviously very important.as you can see so many students are getting benefitted.Otherwise they have to come down to hyderabad and stand in the queue and waste their time.this saves a lot of time of many students.
me: how often such camps are conducted and by which other passport offices
Mr Sampath: passport camps happen frequently.infact we are going to an other college the very next day after this 2 day camp.this is a normal feature with other regional passport offices as well. but our office is functioning very well.
me :how are the employees compensated for working on weekends.is it compulsary for them to attend??(more than 25 employees had come down)
Mr Sampath :the employees are compensated with a two more holidays.apart from that they are not paid anything extra for this.the passport officer has some powers and within that he can issue orders to the employees to work on weekends as well provoded compensation is given.This is one such instance.
me :how do you think is the response here?
Mr Sampath: the response is not bad though we expected more than 800 on the first day we had only 600 applicants.we expect the same number during the second day
me: comments on hospitality provided by the college
Mr Sampath: The students have done a wonderful job in arranging for food and shelter here for all of us.we are extremely satisfied with the hospitality
