Feeling the heat

The former opener turned operations man, is reported to be in the hot seat after his involvement in the extra pay issue incident. However, the other day when the new boss came to town, the former opener brought along a picture where he was standing as a player just behind the new boss. Was the new boss impressed – still to be seen?

Pretender
A political big wig who is famous for brushing off things with his big talk is said to have put out a pretender to win a tender for his name it is heard. The tender, called for repairing eight narrow lanes of a complex in the heart of a city is a big project that amounts a nine-digit figure payment. However the pretender part of the story is an open secret.

Wheels within wheels
An official from the office of poor man’s sport barged into a media conference before it started and conducted a ‘pocket media briefing’ last week confusing the pressmen at a house famous for ball. After the cameo meeting the official had invited all attendees for refreshments which were brought for the real meeting by the top officials who have run furious of this official’s conduct.

The ringing lanes
A famous figure from a family connected to the oval ball from the hills who later won the hearts of the famous sons by teaching them the sport is going to call quits from his big post at the famous complex in the heart of a city that is turning into green. The tiny big man has given his goodbye note for not including him in a committee that will oversee the repairs of eight narrow lanes.

Food parcel
The selectors who choose the famous white coats for international matches is going to name a former player who is low ranked in his new trade inside the ropes. This white coat guy has a food parcel friend in the panel to help promote him, people say.

Mary’s blues
A top man of a former victor team that has a town name and was sold for a big sum has gone mad for losing his band. The top man is not permitting the town named club to change its name as they only received a small part of the payment that was promised.

Was it an alms giving
The famous big man from the cup bureau where a grand theft took place is in the news again. He has visited the colonial land while the boys in the field struggled for form. The man was accompanied by his big bro and an uncle. The three musketeers has lodged and fed themselves with the best and watched the game with top facilities. They said that they have spent out from their pockets but others think otherwise.

Back to square one
The coach from the hill capital who became a big wig in the citadel tried a new thing recently. When the gear was distributed to the war ravaged suddenly he too was trying to get his picture in the scene and get noticed. Alas! The new boss who was aware of this got an HR guy to remind the former coach that his job is elsewhere and should stick to it.
