TGIF (NOT!)

Alright, so everythings almost done, 90% I can say.

For today, I had debate competition VS FBI at 4pm. One of the motion I will cover here was “That this house does not agree that government should decide the dress code for instituitions”.

We were the proposition and I was the first speaker, aka the “Mr Define the Boundaries”.

Kinda slipped the definition on Decide but luckily the opposition did not touch on it, maybe they too let it slip. Had a rough start, with a few promts from my team member Jeremy and Seelan which led to a few comments by the lecturer at the end about too much prompting.

There was a personal fight between Seelan and the FBI girl who i forgot the name :(

But that was nothing compared to the other room.

When I went there after debate ended(we won again), there was a heated debate between the 2 teams. The final speakers were both Indians and both so good. So good. But apparently one felt insulted by the other and took it personal. He confronted the other and rammed him against the wall which I seriously think is poor sportsmanship. We decided to let the matter pass as witnesses and shall not inform the heads.

I think that in such competitions, emotions may run high, and heated moments might occur. But such things should not be led to personal attacks. It should however, be used to fuel the spirit of the game and competiveness, to a certain extent of course.

Pictures below, but sadly I couldnt take pictures of us but managed to take some of the other CDS team and MWC? (if not mistaken)

Besides,  too much anger is not good for debates :)
