Chess... and other sports

Vikram Singh from JNU writes in to ask if other parents would like to help start a Chess Club at MIS. He has a comment on an earlier post, but here is the crucial information: His cell number is 9868614409. Please call him and set it up.

The problem of not enough sports is something that many of you have said over and again, so let me bring it up once more. Shobhit Arora has put it very nicely, so let me quote from his letter:

I would like to reaffirm the view of lack of proper sports facilities at MIS... MIS is a school of some repute, and it needs to upgrade some basic requirements in tune with the times.

Swimming, Badminton, Table Tennis, Volley Ball... these are sports that are available in most schools, let alone the well-known ones. We need to learn from China, how they have built up young sports persons and fit youngsters to lead their country in the future. Sport is a disicipline: it invigorates young minds and cannot be considered a futile activity.
