In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

MOHALI: Move over Olympics, because CP67 Mall just hosted the most EPIC battle of the year – the Great Pizza Face-Off on the eve of International Pizza Day! With over 1,500 pizza fanatics ready to chomp, slurp, and demolish their way to glory, the mall turned into a battleground where dough met destiny!

Recreating the traditional American pizza-eating fest, the Ultimate Pizza Champion contest kicked off in an electrifying atmosphere. The contestants were grouped into teams of 10, each with one mission – devour pizzas like their lives depended on it! With cheesy dreams and saucy ambitions, these fearless pizza gladiators powered through multiple rounds of furious munching, each slice propelling them closer to the Ultimate Pizza Champion title.

As the competition reached its fever pitch, Team Sonu, Suraj, Krishna, Prashant, Yash, Abhay, Sagar, Sahil, Vivek, and Mehak cemented their place in pizza history, devouring an UNBELIEVABLE number of pizzas to secure their cheesy crowns! The champions walked away with a whopping ₹1,00,000 cash prize.

Not far behind, Team Uttam Jeet Kaur, Naveen Verma, Tarun, Manjot Singh Hansa, Vasu Sharma, Shankar, Dev Singh, Rudraksha Thakur, Samael, and Arshueer Singh claimed the first runner-up position, earning ₹75,000. Meanwhile, Team Jasmine, Ankit, Hardeep Singh, Pravesh Kumar, Byomakesh Joshi, Anshul Sood, Vivek Morya, Sanjana, Nancy, and Auni took the second runner-up spot, bagging ₹50,000.

And if that wasn’t enough, CP67 Mall ensured every pizza lover got their fair share of the cheesy madness. The mall’s pizzerias turned into flavor playgrounds, dishing out everything from classic Margherita to some totally whacky, mouth-watering combos that had taste buds doing backflips.

Moral of the story? If you weren’t at CP67 Mall’s Pizza Eating Contest, you definitely missed a slice of history! Until next time, stay saucy and keep the pizza love alive!

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
