Clash of Sections – A Tribute

October 21, 2016 | Posted by admin << back to blog

A beautiful poem written by Rashmita Amireddy, PGPM 2017, on the recently concluded Sports matches between students at Great Lakes.

The rigor stirred through the air as the voices roared,

The chaos lurked through the dust as the sweat dripped.

Defiance and passion filled their unsettling eyes,

Fierce and bold, they stood by with an armored elegance.

Brave are those who rejoice in adversity,

For they know there is no glory without sacrifice.

They fought for the cause and not for success,

Our valiant heroes marched past the field,

To claim the victory of unity and spirit.

It all started one fine evening. As the crowd gathered, the players stood transfixed. Devising strategies they were clouded by moments of anxiety and enthusiasm. They looked at each other with a sense of triumph and passed silent whispers of courage. The teams took to the field and prepared themselves for a never-ending battle. The referee blew the first whistle and the crowd cheered. The clash of sections had begun. The jaw dropping games uplifted our souls. Be it the table tennis trials or the badminton matches, the eyes constantly gazed at the swinging bats. Be it the football tournaments or the volleyball event, we were all moved by the elegance of unity. The constant surprises sent a rush of cold chill through the spine. Unnerved and perturbed, we basked in glory.

We won, we lost. But we triumphed together.

We roared, we cheered. But we sang together.

We cried, we celebrated. But we shared the pain together.

We stood together

Such was the drama and delight associated with the tournaments of MagmaLympics. A scrupulous yet a fun-filled journey of five months at Great Lakes imparted us with some beautiful lessons. We made new friends and we made new memories. The balanced mix of studies and sports is what makes a Great Laker unique.

Thanks Team Sports Com for giving us those wonderful memories to cherish for a lifetime!
