A top cricketer was seen at the foot of a VIP recently at a venue that is taking shape for the World Cup in 2011.
Another ex-official who was witnessing the scene from the side lines had quipped: “It looks as if that chap is currying favour to be in the team after all.
What really took place was that this cricketing type was examining the pitch whilst the VIP stood tall and watched him at work.
Visa refused
A top official in a leading board game has been refused the visa to enter a country where the national team is scheduled to play in an international contest.
The reason being that this official has not been following procedures where visas to this country are concerned is given and so the visa officials have come down hard on this poor guy. The rest have been given the necessary visas and a big contingent, including parents, are now getting ready to fly abroad for this board game.
Shuttling at the top
A leading premises known for the shuttling game is being invaded by top officials who want to keep fit. Those who are coming to practice here are now wondering whether they will ever get a chance to play on these courts because those who are playing the game include top VIPs and even a TV star! Where will our shuttlers, who are training for competitions abroad, practice now?
Serving tea his only qualification
A lad who served tea to a big wig in a leading sport is now the big man at school level drawing a salary in the region of Rs. 70,000 a month plus perks. The only qualification this chap has is that he has been serving tea to a top man in the sport who has a lot of clout in the field. It looks as it is a case of being a slum dog millionaire at that!
Costly sum
Sooriaweva is on the lips of everybody these days. Recently a whole lot of journalists were taken to show them how the project is taking shape to stage the fast approaching World Cup in 2011.The fact is that even though the body that governs it has a media unit of its own, another unit has been given the rights to popularize the project and at a costly sum at that!.
Under fire
A leading official of a kicking game is under fire because he is supposed to be currying favour for a big shot in the game down Kalutara way. This comes from the Director of the Media Unit who is adamant that things are being done to help the sport in that area.
Dark glasses at work
The person who wears dark glasses even in the night was in the news down South recently. This chap, who was a no body in the scene, is now figuring even bigger than the Big Man himself. This dark glasses guy had stormed into the hotel at 2 am demanding food was told that there was no food at that time. ‘Dark glasses’ had insisted for his meals stating that the hotel’s bill will also not be paid if he was not served. Hurriedly cooks had started their work in the wee hours to fill this chap’s tummy. Before that this chap had started changing the signs displaying foreign currencies in the hotel obviously after a heavy drunken binge.
