Monk...sorry SACHIN WHO SOLD HIS FERRARI



Sachin Tendulkar sold his controversial two seater red 360 Modena Ferrari to a businessman in Surat, Jayesh Desai, and Chairman of Raj Hans group. Sachin Tendulkar, who is passionate about cars, got it 9 years before when he equaled Sir Don Bradman’s record of 29 Test centuries. On behalf of Fiat, it was presented to him by Michael Schumacher a German Formula one (F1) race driver in 2002.

Report card of Kerala Board girl is a shocker

Congratulations Sreelekshmi


FOR M. S. Shreelakshmi, a student of Kerala Board who has applied to DU’s St Stephen’s College, no cut- off can prove to be a hurdle this year.

This girl's report card beats all cut offs hands down.

At a time when Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) has made applicants doubt the possibility of scoring a perfect 100 in at least four subjects, Sreelakshmi’s report card is quite the shocker.
A student of commerce, she has scored full marks in all her six subjects.

In other words, even a cut- off of 100 per cent can’t stop her from qualifying to any course in any college affiliated to DU this year. She has applied to B. A. ( Honours) Economics in Stephen’s.

“ Not only does she have 100 per cent in her best- of- four aggregate, but also in all the six subjects,” said N. Raghunathan, teacherin- charge, economics.

Raghunathan, however, pointed out that students of Kerala Board score very high marks every year.

“ But I have never seen anyone get perfect score in all subjects,” he added.
