I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” – Michael Jordan
Ramnarain Ruia College’s Vidyarthi Pratinidhi Mandal (VPM) hosted the Monsoon Sports yet again. This event was a two-day adrenaline rush with a definite goal of bringing all the sportspersons under one umbrella. Well, we had feared that the outdoor games would be washed out due to the rain, but the Monsoon Gods kept their calm. The event took place on 19th and 20th August. The indoor games were played inside the Ramnivas Junior College premises whereas the outdoor games were played in the College Quadrangle. We, at The Ruiaite Monthly E-Bulletin, congratulate all the participants and the winners for making Monsoon Sports a big success and VPM for maintaining the spirit of the game. In this edition, we present to you the list of winners. A hearty congratulations to all of them!

Q. According to you, in what way can the examination system be improved? A. We received a plethora of ideas from students suggesting ways to develop our dated system. Suggestions include projects, internships, quizzes , on-the-spot essay writing as meth- ods to gauge learning. These methods, students declare, will help test whether the student has understood the concept. This will also do away with rote learning and textbook-ish reproduc- tion of material which will prove to be more beneficial in the long run. Rajsitee Dhavale
