On the 24th of September 2016, 15 students of S P Jain’s Mumbai campus travelled to the Mad Over Sports cricket field located in Hotel Shanti Doot, Dadar, to play a friendly match of cricket. As with any sports outing, the atmosphere was electric, and the excitement, palpable. The matches were to be for two hours, with seven players on one side and eight on the other – for a duration of five overs.

The grounds were located on the terrace of Shanti Doot, four stories above the ground level. Upon arrival, the teams were formed – team Flash and team Tupperware, both captained by the students. Team Tupperware decided to bat first, where some really talented student batsmen opened the game.

The Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is widely acknowledged as one of the architectural marvels of the Middle East, featuring the world's largest carpet and third-largest chandelier. Dubai Jaguars, representing Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians and Moslems, headed there one Friday in late March  to experience its wonder and marvel at its exquisite beauty. 

The students reached at around 5 pm, after the throng of morning worshippers had left the mosque in peace. The ladies were soon approached by one of the staff, and taken to a place where they could rent abayas, to properly respect the strict Muslim dress code. Once inside, students were overwhelmed, awestruck by the mosque's grandeur and splendor

"It's always an honor to accompany students on trips like this, where they get to experience the best of other cultures first-hand," said Samantha Miles – Head of Student Life & Global Learning. "You can teach about the magnificence of a mosque. But nothing can beat the feeling of holiness as you step inside and draw that first breath of astonishment."
