Dark Desires

I see the world around quite troubled,
For now many a desire of mankind,
Doth lie hidden, bound and shackled,
By chains we made up in our minds.

Oft when we know what we truly want,
We disguise it for the fear of being judged,
Not by family, friends, peers or society,
But bybthe very mind which within,
Harbours those dark disguised desires.

Perhaps you, I, we all wish thus is were not,
But even my dememented, handicapped brain,
Sees it to be a mark of the progress of our civilized lot,
The power of human will to fight away dark desires,
To behold joys unknown to our fire fathers in caves...

Flying Dutchmen of Ultimate Frisbee

A breezy saturday evening, and the beautiful LKP lawns lit with floodlight - an
almost perfect day was made even better with some spectacular ultimate frisbee
display tonite.
The three teams - Stormchasers(Mumbai), Indicorp(Ahmedabad) and Flying
Dutchmen(IIMA) were out for some great contest on the opening day of the
Ultimate Frisbee Challenge. And guess what home team dominated just the way all
the home supporters expected beating both the opposing teams quite
comprehensively.

The results :
Match 1: Indicorp beat S'chasers 18-16
Match 2: Flying D'men beat Indicorp 27-17
Match 3: Flying D'men beat S'chasers 25-12

Indicorp were led by the brilliant combination of their 2 star players Jai and
Jesse. One of the youngster (prob Jiga) also showed some spectacular throws and
collects. Jesse's 12 feet high collect, flying over 2 offense players and one
of his teammates was the kodak moment of the first match. The Indicorp team
deserves a special appreciation for the fact that it was mixed gender team
making life really tough for all men opposition team.

Stormchasers put up a good fight in the first game but really lost the plot
against in the 2nd game against the Flying Dutchmen.They had a great thrower in
Sanal and a few good chasers in Qwick and Jhonny, but it seemed the team had a
few less experienced people as well and this cost them the game. But great
spirit shown by them in coming over from Mumbai and making this event
possible.

Flying Dutchmen were the team of the day (or night- considering they played
both their matches back to back after 9pm). May be no star players like Jesse
or Jai but the team was a really well balanced unit with no apparent weakness.
Defense was resilient and impressive to watch , offense was lightning fast
leaving the opposition defense chasing ghosts. The domination was so obvious
that in the 2nd half of the last game they were scoring freely even with the
reserves.
On a technical note - just need to iron out our throwing to make sure that
fewer turnovers happen.

All in all a great day of competition. Some great sporting spirit and some
great competetive frisbee. Hoping for a even greater final tomm at 9::30 pm,
same venue.
