Unity Alumni Association hosts inspiring second meet in Mangaluru
Mangaluru, Jan 15: The second Unity Alumni Meet took place on Wednesday, January 15, at the IMA Hall, organized by the Unity Alumni Association.
Dr Mohammed Ismail, a senior consultant physician from Mangaluru, delivered an inspiring speech during the event. He stated, “An alumni meet is a wonderful opportunity for nostalgia, where we reunite, reignite connections, rediscover memories, and recharge ourselves. I was not proficient in any language until I began my MBBS. Back then, I was often ridiculed. I took this as a challenge and worked hard, eventually becoming fluent in English by the time I completed my MBBS. Remember, nothing is impossible. If someone puts you down or insults you, take it as a challenge to prove them wrong.”
Dr B Vasanthi S Shetty, a senior consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist from Mangaluru, highlighted the importance of lifelong learning: “Studying never stops until you die. I advise all alumni to work hard, be sincere, and you will reach wherever you wish to be.”
Devraj, general manager of operations, spoke about the progress and growth of Unity Hospital since its establishment.

Experience comes when you play bigger teams in bilateral series: Rashid Khan
Chennai (PTI): Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan called for more bilateral series against stronger cricketing nations after his team signed off from the T20 World Cup on a high, defeating Canada in their final group match here on Thursday.
Afghanistan played some exhilarating cricket, going down to South Africa in a gripping second Super Over after the scores were tied, a humdinger that provided one of the early thrills of the World Cup.
However, the spin-bowling stalwart said Afghanistan could make significant strides if they get regular opportunities to compete against stronger cricketing nations.
"Couple of areas to improve, with the batting, the middle order got a bit stuck against the big teams, and then with the bowling the death overs. That comes when you play the bigger teams in bilateral series," said Rashid after his team defeat Canada by 82 runs, with him returning excellent figures of 2 for 19.
The stalwart said the side had arrived well prepared for the tournament and produced some breathtaking cricket, but admitted the narrow defeat to South Africa proved costly and remained a painful setback.
"We were well-prepared (for the tournament), we played some unbelievable cricket. The game against South Africa, that really hurt everyone. We had to win one of those (first two) games and see how the tournament unfolded. We'll take some positive things from this World Cup and look forward," he said.
With head coach Jonathan Trott set to part ways with the team, Rashid described the departure as an "emotional" moment for the side.
"I think we had some wonderful times with him. Where we are now, he played a main role. It's emotional to see him leave us, but that's how life is. We wish him all the best and somewhere down the line we see him again."
Ibrahim Zadran, who was named Player of the Match for his unbeaten 95 off 56 balls, said it was satisfying to finally register a substantial score after two below-par outings.
"I enjoyed it, didn't play better cricket in first two innings, which I expect. Wanted to back my skills, really enjoyed it. Pressure was there, it's there all the time. I want to put myself in pressure situations and enjoy it," said Zadran.
"Wanted to play positive cricket, rotate strike and punish bad ball, create partnerships and this is what I have done."
