TICKETS MADE HIM TICKING

A drama, not a mega serial, was premiered at the much talked about citadel and this, interestingly, is a single-episode series. The man in charge of tickets, after knowing that the pressmen has taken him to task for hiding underhand deals, has pretended that he is experiencing a cardio arrest while on duty at office. While holding his chest with the reports of the newspapers on his table, the official had claimed ‘I’m innocent, I don’t know anything of such happenings, I’m innocent’, while his colleagues were thoroughly enjoying the drama.

THE OPPOSITE OF RAGS TO RICHES

He is a former champion runner, a medal winning athlete and an Olympian, who later became an official of a governing body as an inexperienced administrator. After holding office for two years it is said that the image of the former hero on track has now been redeemed to zero as an office bearer. Yet, the chap is determined that he can seek another life at the upcoming elections. After realising the fact that his chances of winning a position is nowhere within the horizon, he has attempted to camp in with a group led by a former stronghold. The latest is, he is not even welcome there and is stranded all alone. The opposite of rags to riches, they say.

CONFUSION

The highest authority of the country’s sports affairs, placed in one of the posh locations of the country is told to be confusing many with the new trend — adding new clauses to the ever updating Sports Law. The latest inclusion is the introduction of a ‘Decision making Committee’ which has made officials of almost all sports governing bodies of the country go blind. Clueless of the latest clause, certain officials had telephoned the Big House seeking clarifications only to be left more confused. Eventually the man-in-charge himself has come forward to the fore and made a casual clarification stating that ‘it may be the Selection Committee’.

OMNIPRESENT

The top official of the country’s governing body of the most popular global sport is back in the news. Few weeks ago he was in the limelight for letting his son use his official car and getting it knocked on to a parked truck in the heart of the capital city. It was said that he was given this car when he was appointed as a paid employee but had not returned the car or sought clearance to use it continuously after becoming an elected official. After causing a damage of a huge amount the official had put the car to a private garage and claimed insurance but nothing was informed officially to the sports body.

After seeing the incident reaching the press, he had clarified that he was in the car but gave the wheel to his son after feeling a pain in the head. But the interesting thing is, he was attending an official programme at a famous venue named after a sport now existing in Little England. People ask if he has attained divine power to be at two places at the same time.

NO SHOW BUT WANTS OFFICE

A national sport of sorts in the country which has all similarities to the national sport of the USA. A top politician, who is very much in the news for wrong reasons these days, has held office for the past two years is the head of this body. But he has not attended a single meeting during this period. To make matters worse he has done very little to support any cause of this sport. Yet he has shown interest to hold office for another term. For what reasons they ask.
