SYMA has been in the field of social service for more than
3 decades now and for almost 20 years we have been
conducting Child Fest. Besides our focus area of medical
area (the running of free dispensary), education (our own
tuition centre, providing uniforms to children, educational
aid), civic concerns (recent desilting and cleaning of the
temple tank, public amenity maintenance), we have
always felt the need to imbibe in children the qualities of
competitive spirit and participation in public events and to
inculcate in them the thinking of doing something for the
society. We have experienced that not all school children
are forthcoming and sometimes lack the correct the
environ for pushing them ahead. May be the cooperation
or support of parents and teachers could be not in the
right amount.

A trip to kodikarai
Kolkatta is a very special place for Indian cricket – against Aussies in 2001,
we came back to win due to a marathon special by VVS and great display
of spin bowling including a hat trick by Bhaji. Yesterday it was another
good performance which enabled India retain its place in ICC ranking
ladder. The fight was nerve wracking and obtained late in the day at a
time when cows were returning home.
We could not get Amla out and the tail frustrated India a lot – when
shadows lengthened and end was drawing closer, Morne Morkel fell to
Harbajhan with just 9 balls to go for the stumps and victory achieved. We
have had 28 victories by a margin of an innings + runs – there are 16
above this; still this would rank very high coming it did against a quality
opposition after having lost the First test badly.
Every tour opposition would have a winner and this the 27 year old from
Durban Hashim Amla stood out stranded on a fighting 123 following his
first innings one and unbeaten 253 at Nagpur. In olden days, by fifth day,
wicket would be a vicious turner but this time victory was hard earned and
India sorely missed Zaheer. There were grave apprehensions due to the
loss of more than 3 and a half on Wednesday. Wayne Parnell delayed it
for long and at 264 for 9, all followers were looking to a wicket every ball
– they had to wait for long for more than 20 overs. The final set displayed
remarkable discipline and frustrated the bowlers before the moment of
pride came.
The score card in brief for posterity would read : India 643 for 6 dec
(Sehwag 165, Laxman 143*, Dhoni 132*, Tendulkar 106) beat South Africa
296 (Amla 114, Petersen 100, Zaheer 4-90, Harbhajan 3-64) and 290
(Amla 127*, Harbhajan 5-59, Mishra 3-78) by an innings and 57 runs.
The match was a remarkable display of grit as India had 98 overs to get 7
but more than 5o where played off by Amla. Mishra did bowl well and
produced a special one to get AB De Villiers just before lunch. In the
absence of Zaheer, Ishant sprayed a lot but preserved to get something
important. Last time against Aussies, Sachin had weaved magic but could
not make much impact this time.
This test win is very laudable and Indians could remember this for long.
Here are some interesting statistics.
