Wanted: More light

Let there be light, — only if the two television commentators at the Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium could say likewise. “We find it difficult to look at the team lists during the second soccer match of the day,� veteran Arijit Sen, whose voice is synonymous with the television over years complained.
“I carry a candle with me. That helps us in the second match,� Ghous Mohammed, his colleague lashed out. The lights are terrific at the Stadium. Only if the management could offer some tube-lights in the stands.
Water world: Water, water everywhere, not a drop to drink. There’s shortage of drinking water at the Hussain Sagar Lake, the venue for rowing. With the heat catching on, it was quite a task to find a drop to quench thirst. Amazingly enough, e veryone was seen passing the buck to some others when asked about the same. Rowers are kind no doubt. They offered some solace.
Free is the word: No complaints this time. But some localites are busy quering about the prices of the tickets to enter stadiums. This correspondent had a harrowing time explaining it to an elderly couple that entry was free for all events. “Kaise ho sakta hai? Itna bada bada stadium banaya hai,� the lady quipped. Little did they know that it’s the government’s attitude in promoting sports.
