Ayesha Saeed Malik 1st year MBBS
After the Declamation Championship King Edward Debating Society held another mega event between 22-25th of May, that marked yet another success on their behalf.
Delegates from different institutions were cordially invited to participate in the event. An enthusiastic participation from their side indeed, since KEDS had to accommodate 2-3 teams from the same institution at a time.
After three strenuous days of fighting war of words and logic, in the preliminary rounds, various teams succeeded in qualifying for the quarter and semi-finals that took place on sunday. Yes, people actually sacrificed their beloved sundays to show up for their match, to compete for the mighty trophy of honour, demarcating the winner's territory.
Then came the auspicious Monday - 25th may 2015. A day of perspiration for our finalists; KINNAIRD COLLEGE FOR WOMEN vs. FAST and UOL vs. GCU, a day of DO or LOSE. While on the other hand a regular horrid day for commoners like me, marking the start of yet another hot week of summer at school.
The day started with English speakers coming up first, to speak on the topic: This House regrets Pakistan-America friendship with KC in proposition and FAST in opposition of the respected topic. A close-hand match was observed between the two teams, both astutely opposing the other's line of arguments. 'Clash of Opinions' appropriately describes the contest between the two rival teams.
After a 10 minute respite the Urdu speakers were called upon the stage to take their respective places. The topic allotted to them was: Ye aiwan muqananeen par har kism ke karobar par pabandi lagata hai with GCU speaking in opposition and UOL in favour of the topic. The feisty arguments between the two opposing teams continued for an hour. The scales of balance kept on shifting till the very moment the results were declared.
Meanwhile certain statements of the spokesmen were recorded, the reply to which were given by the NEWSLETTER KEDS (KNN) in the most hilarious way possible.
KC: " men will think in whichever way they want to think, so its better you stay cautious"
[sahe hai behan sadda kutta kutta tawada kutta tommy.]
"For example, I have a boyfriend 'theek hai' "
[For example I am Barrack Hussain Obama 'theek hai']
BEACONHOUSE: "When the government said Reham Khan married a 70 year old Imran Khan they forgot to mention the fact that DAMN! That guy's HOT!"
[Akhir ye jo PTI se muhabbat hai, ye kisi aur se muhabbat to nai]
FC-B: "The opposition presented us with 3 arguments;
a) mango
b) potato
c) tomato
[So you had your lunch. And you presented with three arguments;

UMT: "Saima, Noor, Reema chor gai glamour ki dunia ab is ghareeb industry se Ayyan Ali to mat cheeno"
"Ayaan Ali ki waja se nojawanon ka GPA behtar hua hai"
[gandi soch!]
"Ayaan ne chalain lawyers ko selfies lena to sikha dia hai"
[Aur lawyers k ghar ka atta woi selfies bech k ata hai na]
"Pakistan k andar jailon mai Ayaan Ali jaisi atish hussan ko qaid karna zulam hai"
[Dil ki baat kar gia zalim! Kasmay!]
AIMC: "Mai chars peena chahta hun. Mujhay koi peenay nai deta"
[Arey koi to rok lo!]
FC-D Zain Tahir to PU girl: "Mohtarma app buhat khubsurat lag rai hain. Ap beth jain."
[Tharak ka koi waqt muqarrar nai hota akhir]
UOL-A to PMC: "Kiya 1 and half liter wine, 15 glasses k equal hotay hain?"
[Wait, let me call my personal pinsaari. Aidda halaal sawal!]

Blogger's Critique: Yet another success on KEDS part. Keep it up. Wishing you all the best for coming events in the coming years.
The best part however, was the humour conjured by the KNN team. Well done on your brilliant attempts at putting life, colour and vigour to a somber academic event, and ringing out genuine laughter with your prompt and audacious replies. Lastly, thank you very much for sharing your masterpiece with me.
p.s The air conditioning seriously needs to be tended to.
au revoir!
