he Blur antidote to beat the office blues just got a lot better.The gaming zone at Sathyam Cinemas on Thursday launched 12 new arcade games for those looking to letsome steam off. One can now get the safety belts on to racein some of the finest racing games – Sega’s Cycraft and Hummereasily the top two arcades among the new additions – to somegood old shoot, lock and reload action with Rambo DX and theHouse of Dead. The action is unrelenting as always. A bit of a FPS fan myself, I found the action in Rambo DX pretty nifty but I would go with Ghost Squad Evolution DX, asecurity ops actioner that is slightly reminiscent of CounterStrike. At the launch event, SS Music VJs Craig and Cary were pre-sent.

19-year-old college student who was paralysed after an accidentduring an NCC camp on June 7 wasforcefully discharged from the Go-vernment General Hospital due to lack of beds.

While unloading some goods from a lorry at the camp sitehe was accidentally caught between thevehicle and a wall when the lorry wasreversing. Adhisivan suffered severe injuries tohis hip and was taken to Meenakshi Hos-pital in Kancheepuram by the NCC staff and cadets. Since his condition was criticalthe hospital authorities asked them totransfer him to Government General Hos-pital in Chennai for further treatment.He was brought to GH the same nightand doctors advised hip surgery. Allegedly,it was only then that the patient’s parents were informed.

An option to take a pay  ward was also given.Unable to bear the expenses, an ailing  Adhisivan was literally thrown out of thehospital on Thursday morning. Irked rela-tives agitated on the hospital premises,catching the attention of a media channelpresent there. The authorities were quick to act, readmitting Adhisivan to a pay ward with assistance from his college author-ities.
