It concluded with proving the necessity of studying the subject. The academic activities included paper presentation, visual slides and quiz for the audience. The students also put up mathematical games stalls. Events begin: The two-day annual ‘Panorama’ an inter-college event began at Government College for Girls, Sector 11, here today.

Maybe the audience will relate it to history that was made 100 years ago. * * * Debut directorial venture of Suparn Verma's ‘Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena’ who has earlier written scripts for films like Zameen Qayamat and Karam has a tagline ‘‘Sometimes the wrong side of the law is the right place to be’’.
