Other Highlights

1. In sports action Vishakha Infrastructure went head-to-head with Mudit Housing. Even the use of "Arre Baba" and Soumitra's late cameo didnt help Vishakha overcome Mudit and match ended in a exciting draw. Kishore covered the full match in totality.

2. Honor code Ranbir exposed: Ranbir was the first one to raise hands in the GSB Class when asked as to who all will be willing to pay bribes. So much for the Honor Code !
